A Year of Blessings


Another year has passed and how time flies. Where did 2009 go? We finished with Christmas already and we are now waiting for the start of a brand new year.

The year 2009 was filled with blessings, not so good things, love and generosity from friends and family.

We always start the year with the joint birthday celebration of our son and myself, our wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday. Blessings abound from the Lord. More than the material blessings, what we are most thankful for are the intangible blessings of love, grace, and generosity from family, friends and strangers who helped us pick up the pieces when we were badly hit by Ondoy.

On that fateful day of September 26, 2009, we lost almost everything we had because of the flood but material possessions was graciously replaced by the Lord. What's important is that everyone in the family is safe and with us.

2009 was a blessed year for us. It was another year that we felt God's love for us. He never fails.
