Thank you so much, Warmth Family! 

It was indeed a suuuuper blessed day with my warmth family. I really missed our bonding and I was so grateful I was able to join in their fellowship. No words can fully describe this day. But sum it all up, it was a day of blessing-thanksgiving-friendship-bonding! ♥

My Father Eagle

She considered herself like an eagle

Always soaring up high albeit the storm

She knows when is the perfect timing to wiggle

Reminding herself to stay calm and relaxed in any form.

Just like an eagle so mighty,

She takes the risks and go forth her dreams

Circumstances may come along her way,

She never loses hope for her heart is set aflame.

But what would she do

If one day she finds out everything turned out blue?

Her hopes went down.

Her aspirations were crushed.

Her motivations vanished.

She broke her wings

And fell mercilessly in the ground.

She felt so hopeless

And all she could do is shed out her tears heavily.

It was the most painful thing that happened to her journey

The people who once gave her strength and inspiration 

Were also the ones who doubted her and turned her down.

Yet, her Father eagle stood by her side despite it all.

He was cheering her up reminding her the battle isn't over yet.

He picked her up and gave her enough strength to carry on

And now she is ever stronger and fearless to make it through.

Thanksgiving Prayer

Thanksgiving Prayer

-Frances Carmille Alpuerto-

Lord, on this day, grant us the humility to recognize all the gifts you have given to us and to acknowledge all the reasons we have to be grateful in our lives. It is so easy to let daily trials and tribulations convince us that we have little for which to give thanks but nothing could be farther than the truth. 2011 was indeed a year of a perfect combination of trials, test of faith, unending blessings and miracles.

Almighty God, thank you for the gift of life. Often, we take our existence for granted and don’t see it for the miracle it is. As millions of Filipinos face poverty and our nation seems to be more selfish, thank you for those who care in our lives and for the generosity of strangers towards those in need. 

Oh Comforter, we know it is difficult to be thankful with tragedy and economic storms battering our country, but we refuse to give in, to become callous and to lose faith. With the knowledge, we know that we can make this a more bountiful land again. Also Loving Father, we thank you for the presence of one another. May 2012 be a year for us of more blessings, new relationships and stronger faith in You. All of these we ask and give thanks in Jesus name. AMEN.
