Hubby said this morning,
“I can’t define STRESS to you. Does the stress come from working more than 8 hours a day? Or having to work an HOUR more than usual?”
Last weekend was memorable to our family. It was the FIRST TIME for Jadon to march on the red carpet as the Coin Bearer. The invitation to be a part of the entourage was a nice surprise. We really did not expect it from Glenda and Alvin. I hope that the blessings of God would always be upon them all the days of their lives.
Anyway, prior to the Big Event, we made sure that Jadon knows how to march. That is the easy part because he can already walk. However, upon reaching me (or his Tatay), he would just throw the pillow to us instead of giving it gently. He did it EVERYTIME we practiced. So, we agreed that we would go to the Sanctuary earlier than usual and practice there, hoping that he would not throw the pillow at the end of the aisle.
Also, I taught him how to smile showing his teeth. This was shot before we went out of the house:
Isn’t he adorable? This became our desktop background. However, when he saw it, he said, “Jadon crying”.
Hmmmm… Do you think he was smiling or crying?
So, when we got to the Sanctuary, we immediately asked for the pillow and practiced on the red carpet. All went well. But Jadon was really hurting my eardrums of his incessant talking!
First, he saw the tables. He said, “Eat! Eat! Eat!”
Next, he saw the salad bar. He said, “Carrots! Leaf!”
And then the fountain. And also the buffet table, where he said, “Open. Eat!”
Of course he also saw the beautiful wedding cake and sang, “Happy birthday!”
He would repeat all the words until you acknowledge that he was correct in what he was pointing at.
Anyway, during our practice in the Sanctuary, Jadon did the march perfectly. Except the part that he was not supposed to go on stage. He wanted to go up the podium.
During the procession from the door to end of the red carpet, Jadon was dropping his pillow just so he could pick it up. However, when he was on the red carpet, he marched on his own and did not attempt to go to the stage.
When the coins were asked by the Pastor, he went to the aisle to give it to him. The Best Man tried to get it from Jadon, but Jadon refused and said, “Give to the Pastor!”
And only when the Pastor’s hand was reaching out to him did he let go of the pillow.
Now, I really look forward to his next assignment

20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
24 Put away perversity from your mouth;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Make level paths for your feet
and take only ways that are firm.
27 Do not swerve to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.

23 This is what the LORD says:
“Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
24 but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the LORD.
Mel gave me a smile.
I am doing the same to Mandy, Pat, Vina and Meeya. I hope they would smile at others, too.
Smiling is infectious,
You can catch it like the flu.
Someone smiled at me today,
And I started smiling too.
Toss this smile along to your friends who brightened up your day
or those whose days you want to brighten up.
Smile!
Each day is a wonderful reason to celebrate!
Lord,
Please give me the STRENGTH to be the most PaTienT person that I can be.
Let me hold myself from reActinG witHout THInkING, and speaKing AnD acting when irritated.
Allow me to express my POSITIVE THOUGHTS in the most siNceResT ways.
Restrain me from thinking the WOrST on others; rather, help me see THE Go0d in them.
May the reflection in my mirror be the image of Christ instead of a jAgGeD sCorneD WomAn.
Please EXTEND your arms to help me stand up in my lowest moments.
Help me get through the day.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
