Random thoughts on Appreciation

Lately, I appreciate -- - your dad for his unbelievable patience when I was in labor with Miko. From when my labor started in the emergency room until after I gave birth and couldn't move much, he was there and assisting me. Of all three times that I gave birth, this was the most patient I have seen him. - your lolo and lola. Since I gave birth to Miko, they were very supportive especially in my decision to breastfeed. Lolo hasn't been cooking much before I gave birth, but now he makes sure that I always have soup, with malunggay if possible, to increase my milk supply. - Kuya Aki and Ate Iya for welcoming Miko and loving him right from the start. Ate wants to kiss Miko all the time, and Kuya has never been pasaway so Mommy can tend to Miko. Give everyone a kiss after you read this okay? Let them know that mommy loves them. :)

Diffused water ideas

Hi Kids! If you want a twist to your ordinary water, you can try diffusing these combinations in it. Not only will it add flavor to your water, enticing you to complete your mandatory 8 glasses a day, but it also has additional health benefits! Diffused water ideas: - cucumber + lemon - pineapple + apple - mint/basil + strawberries - apple + cinnamon - melon + grape - lemon + orange - mint + cucumber + lime - pineapple + mango - grape + orange + apple I personally like cucumber + lemon. I want to live healthy so I can live longer and, God willing, watch you succeed in life and be able to take care of your kids. Let me know which combination is your favorite. :) love you all!

Facing future giants. - Giants are things bigger than us, like trials, etc. How to prepare? 1. Humility - ability to accept that God has a plan and we submit ourselves to that plan. 2. Rise above - giants would make us feel small to undermine our confidence and to downsize our faith. But giant problems are opportunities to show the power of God. 3. Plug into God - connect to the source of power: God. It is from such continued connection that we always hear God's voice that tells us that we are His beloved. Claiming victory We can claim our victory by humbly accepting God's plan for us and by being always connected to Him. These will lead us to God's assuring love to sustain us in facing life's giants. No matter how big the giants, we should not be discouraged and feel defeated. We should always remember who we are in the eyes of God -- His beloved.
