(Written on Thursday afternoon)
There are times like today when I feel sad that I wasn't born into a rich family or that I'm not as financially capable as I wanted to be. No, it's not because I want to buy everything I've been dreaming of (though that'll be nice too). It's just that whenever I encounter someone who I know deserves all the help they can get financially, I wish I could be that person to pull them out of the crisis they're in.
The sad thing is, as much as I'd like to give or share whatever I have now, family comes first. Our needs must be on top of my priorities because I'm currently the only one helping my nanay with the finances at home.
Nonetheless, I do what I can to help. It may not be through financial aid, but at least, in one way or another, I was able to make them smile, warm their heart and make them realize that there are people who care. Kindness can come in different shapes and forms. If I was able to make them feel that, then, I'd be glad.
While writing this on my phone (I'll be doing this more often.. Now, if only Blogger has an app for BB), I realized, how can I be sure I'd be this willing to help if I was indeed rich? Will I feel the same desire to help this family if I'm drowning myself with money? I hope so. I really do.
I can't believe the things this family has gone through in the past 4 months. But, I admire the courage of this mother of 3. Her family, excluding the father who left them for another woman and kids who weren't his own, made me further believe that God provides. If you put your trust in Him, you'd be surprised with what's in store for you. And I'm happy that no matter how devastating the circumstances have been for them, they never lost hope. I should heed to their example.
No, I'm not trying to sound like a saint with this post. If you know me in real life, you'd know how sensitive I can be. I really wish I'd be given a better chance to help them. *sigh* For now, all I can do is pray for them to be free of all the burden they've been carrying for months now.
I wish I could hug her, y'know? If only that won't be completely weird. *sigh*
It is very important these days to get kinds outside and physically active. An outdoor wooden playset is the perfect motivation tool to spark excitement and bring smiles to your kids’ faces. Although it may be somewhat overwhelming when researching playsets and deciding which swing set features, there are many resources online in assisting with your decision. If your child especially likes climbing then a rock wall climb is certainly a great feature. Some other great playset features are swinging and sliding. The fun is never-ending when you child gets on a swivel mounted tire swing!
Aluminum awnings offer you a very inexpensive way that you can cool your home down during the heat of the summer months, and gives you a great way to protect your furniture and flooring from all of the fading effects that are put off by the sun. These aluminum awnings also provide a shelter for your windows and all of your doors from all of the many different elements of Mother Nature. A great benefit of these awnings is that they are always packaged with very easy to follow instructions, so that you don’t have to rely on someone else to do the installation that is going to cost you another out of pocket expense.
