Blessings and Hopes

9/08/2021

It's midweek and Mama Mary's birthday. Happy birthday Mama Mary, thank you for all the blessings and new hopes everyday. I may not be able to visit you this time of the year, but I reminisce those memories when I was able to visit you on your birthday when I was still in my previous company since we always offer a prayer for you and we believe in your miracles. Gotta watch live mass later.

Since it is Mama Mary's birthday, I just wanted to write about blessings and new hopes ❤️

We pray for blessings

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

Lyrics from: Blessings (Laura Story)

• Blessing

Blessing happens everyday. From the time we wake up in the morning. To be able to get home safe from work, a 3x a day meal, having a work that can feed your family. Having a good health knowing that we are facing a global pandemic is a blessing. Having a few friends but genuine ones is a blessing. Having a partner/husband who is very supportive, caring and loving is indeed a blessing. Having a supportive extended family, having a sister and brothers who you can laugh with over silly things and to whom you can share your problems is a blessing. Having a perfectly imperfect parents is indeed a great blessing.

Everyday is a blessing that we sometimes forgot to thank God for it. Writing this article made me realize how blessed I am. From now on, I will be counting my blessings rather than the problems I will be facing today and in the future.

What about you? Are you counting your blessings more than your problems? I admit that I forgot to pray sometimes before I go to sleep. I was not able to thank God for my everyday blessing and I was not able to talk to Him in silent this past few days. This article will be my reminder to be grateful every single day.

• Hopes- e feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. (Definition from Oxford Languages)

Of course each one of us have hopes. We have ambitions and desires. We have dreams that we wanted to achieve. Let me share with you my hopes before we bid goodbye to year 2021:

House roofing- my partner and I plan to save money for our house this year. At least for roofing so we can have a comfortable space to sleep. Our living area is our on the go sleeping place as of this moment. Since we really are in a tight budget right now, I thank my family for their support emotionally, spiritually and financially especially their help with our kids.

Redeem my jewelries- 😁😁😁 yes this is one of my goal. I have my necklace, earrings and ring guarded in the pawnshop 😂😂😂 nakakatulong po talaga ang mga alahas sa oras Ng kagipitan 😁 a good investment indeed. These items are my reward for myself, so I won't give them up. Hahahah.

More BCH and sponsors to come- yes, hopefully. 🙏

Read more articles everyday is also one of these. For the past few days, I enjoyed reading than writing articles and I don't know why.. hahahah maybe because I am inspired and I enjoyed the articles shared by these amazing writers.

Anyways, thank you soo much to my sponsors @Bloghound @BreadChamp @MissJo you really are my inspiration to write more and of course read more. Thank you soo much for your support and God will fold your blessings a hundred times because it's a well deserved.

And the last but never the least, this is all what we are hoping for, for the better days to come. We are all hoping for healing, for this pandemic to end so we can enjoy life without precautions just like before. Better days are coming, not now but I believe soon. I have hopes in God and I trust Him. His ways are better than ours and there are reasons why we are facing this pandemic today.

Thank you for reading and may we be reminded to count our blessings and to have hopes for better days.
