I am encouraged with pogiBoy. He does know how to share and he doesn’t seem to have any bad bones in his body. Actually sometimes I worry that because he’s so nice, he might be abused or be easy to bully.

Often I observe him from a distance and I restrain myself from going over and mediate. He needs to grow up on his own and mummy cannot always be there. Of course, there are times when I do jump in.

pogiBoy’s school holiday is in full-swing. He’s staying with a neighbour in the meantime. They’ve got kids so pogiBoy’s well entertained.

On Saturday we passed by a toy shop & as usual he asked if we can go in. I said yes but added that we’re not going to buy anything as he just got a bike. He didn’t miss a beat when he replied we should buy Jem, the youngest child of our neighbour, a toy.

This isn’t the first time he asked me to buy those kids something. He’s been bugging me to buy Jem a toy, a shirt, etc. every time we went out shopping. Yesterday coming home from church I asked him if he wants some “special” doughnuts when I pick him up today and he said yes then added I should buy “1 box for me and 1 box for jem, kuya ben and ate nikki”.

So tonight I will be lugging home these special treats for those kids and for my very thoughtful hero.

He deserves these and more.

I should have announced it a long time ago but more important things keep cropping up and I am busier than ever.

But hey world! I am Blessed. No, really I am.

My prayers and pogiBoy’s nightly prayer was answered: “Lord please save mummy’s job” and He did!

I went job hunting because we weren’t making any money. But someone from church advised me to be specific with what I want from Him and that I should ask Him for what He wants me to have. Afterall doesn’t He know what’s best for me?

I claimed to my sister that “in 3 weeks time this situation is resolved, I will have a job!” That was on the 3rd week of June. At the end of the 2nd week of July, the collective dismissal was cancelled and our confirmation letter stated a little something for our trouble.

He is Great. I testified in church that “I asked only for one, but He gave me two“… Okay I could have said it better, but I was overcome with emotion. The point was made, the Lord in His infinite wisdom and mercy knows that at that time I was troubled by several things. Money isn’t the answer but that act of generosity lifted hubby’s spirit even more. He gave us proof that if we humble ourselves and ask, our prayers are indeed answered - in His Time.

See… I could have despaired that I should have had a job offer in less than a month. That’s how it’s always been. I asked Him to change me & Praise God He removed my pride & gave me calm.

There’s so much more besides this that’s happened, but suffice to say,  I am really happy I have come back and I am forever Blessed we have a faithful God.
