A few days ago....I had a hard time sleeping, slept at
about 5 a.m...problems seem to be getting the better of me...Then my Lizzie
woke up and again slept beside me...we were cramped, I developed back pains...but I slept peacefully. When I woke up
after an hour or two, I looked at my kids' faces...I picked myself up and realized I
had so much to live for. Goodmorning friends! SMILE! GOD BLESS ALL OF US!
I felt so down and even angry for
almost 2 days...I became blind to what I had..and continue to have...the
understanding, and the love of my wife and my kids..and my GOD
The other day....My kids asked me if we were going out, and I said not today, bills have to be paid first...then I felt their sadness, I felt that perhaps they felt envious of rich friends who go out often on trips abroad.....so I sulked for a while....I called my kids, and one by one, I
hugged them and I said, "I'm so sorry, I am just so sorry, I wish I could give you a better life, in terms of material things." They said, "What are you apologizing
for, we understand? We love you." I WAS SO HUMBLED!
On maddening days, my daughters, Nikki and Lizzie, would keep on hugging me and kissing me and actually
tell me, "I love you so much!" Somehow they must know that I was going
through something...kids are magically perceptive that way...and they truly are gifts from heaven.
During those times when I felt
guilty, cold, afraid and weakened...all I longed to see was my wife's beautiful
face, to hold her and to hug her...and to feel my children's sweet embraces and
priceless kisses... and when I got it, it was like a piece of heaven! They
reminded me of God's goodness and of His love!
Sometimes we're so caught up in
adding and multiplying our problems...that we forget the most basic act of
simple counting...simply counting our blessings!....so let's start today...right now!
