A blessed day to me

Someone almost forgot that it’s her birthday.   It was only when my husband asked me what I wanted to do that I suddenly remembered.

A visit to the church and a simple dinner  would suffice.

I’ve always been observant of people but lately I have become even more observant.  Last night while sitting in the car waiting for someone,  a car pulled over and dropped off a female dressed a little tomboyish.  She was carrying a blanket, backpack and a small carry on luggage.  A tall woman hugged her probably saying goodbye.  I noticed the tomboy was in tears.  She sat on the sidewalk and started weeping.  My instinct was to get off the car and ask what was wrong and what I could do to help her. Of course I couldn’t do that.
She waved to the female who dropped her off to come to her.  She did,  said a few words to her, then ran to the car, and sped away.   It was like a scene in a sad movie. The tomboy ran after the car,  shouting Sarah!!  Sarah!! Her pants falling from her waist till I could see her whole cheeks.   I felt so bad for her.  Realizing that Sarah was gone,  she picked up her belongings, wiped her tears,  pulled up her loose pants and started walking to the train station, still sobbing. With sadness in my heart, my eyes followed her as she walked, till I couldn’t see her anymore. While watching her, I secretly wished she would be okay. That her next journey would lead her to something more meaningful and joyful.

My birthday wish is for that female  to have a family to love and be loved,  peace of mind and financial prosperity.    May God grant my wish,  not only for the tomboy I saw last night,  but for everyone out there who are sad, troubled,  suffering.  May God’s love and infinite compassion embrace them.

Despite some big challenges, I remain grateful for the help and blessings that happen in my life. Problems force us to bring out the best in us. No matter how painful, shocking, difficult and sometimes the problems seem insurmountable, we’re learning that these could be opportunities to be stronger and better persons. Easier said than done, but when we are faced with tremendous pressure and problems, we have no choice but to rise above them. Think of solutions.

I remain grateful and hopeful. I am feeling God’s help and guidance.
