I woke up that day bathed with sunlight piercing through the
blinds of the windows. I stared at the two angels sleeping peacefully in my two
sides and hugging me tightly, Trisha and Shayne, my nieces who were entrusted
under my care by their parents.
Their faces have that hint of smiles as if they were being
lulled into the dreamy wonderland by unknown cherubs. Beautiful feelings
embraced my heart.
Later that morning, as I was walking in the yard I smelled
the sweet fragrant of the flowers. Some just opened their buds. Yellow, red,
pink flowers and green leaves adorned what was once a vacant lot. What a
beautiful sight!
As I sat on the grass still wet with morning dew calmness
engulfed me. It felt like heaven.
I looked up at the white skies and I could feel a bright
promise for my future. It was an amazing sight with flock of birds flying in
harmony. As if an unknown melody beckoned them to fly in one direction only.
Then my gaze turned to a tiny spider working on its web.
Slowly, he was able to complete it. It was a marvelous vista! One that won't
equal to the most beautiful computer graphics ever created. A tiny being
building something for its survival. Can't it be an inspiration to all of us?
The ants caught my full attention, too. They were awe-
inspiring with their endless pursuit of hard work. Each one a part of the
completion of the task. One that signifies not only industriousness but also
unity.
I walked farther in the village. I was momentarily taken
aback with mother animals protecting and taking care of their young. I was
touched beyond details. What a mother wouldn't do for her kids!
The day ended so fast. I couldn't get enough of appreciating
the panorama of wonders around me. The sun set came and darkness surrounded my
silent reverie but not before I had a final glance to the turbulent shower of
red, blue and black skies. It was simply magnificent!
As I tucked in the two kids that night to sleep, I uttered a
silent prayer. A gratefulness from the bottom of my heart... for that one
blessed day...
My Daily Prayer
"Lord,
thank you for bathing me in another dawn of a blessed day. May I have today a
grateful heart to value the wonders of the world you've created for us. May I
also find the humility to pause for a moment and be appreciative of the things
that won't equal to material things offered by the fancy world I live in. May I
continue to grow in accordance with what you planned me to be, not to shrink to
the ground but to soar high like an eagle."
