DAY 4 #21DAYSGRATITUDE

Woot woot woot?  Weekend's almost over ... already??  Ayy yayyy yayyy.

We had a great fellowship this morning and are glad to be home to wind down before tomorrow.  As for today, our family is grateful for:

1) The AC.  With the weather fluctuating all over the place like in the past few days, we are glad that the AC has helped us warm up and cool down in a matter of minutes.  Babyroo really appreciates this.  Guess who appreciate it even more?  Papahroo and Mamahroo.  Happy Baby ... Happy Parents :-)

2) Source of income.  The economic situation is not at its worst; but definitely not at its best either.  We are grateful that in the midst of it, God still provides our family with source of income.  And that leads us to #3.

3) Papahroo.  Can't thank him enough for never complaining to go to work every day even though that means he has to wake up at 6AM, walks to and from the shuttle stop, and catches the shuttle to work so Babyroo and I can have the car.  Rain or shine.  Overcast or clear.  Cold or hot.  Dark or bright.  EVERY DAY he sacrifices for the family.

4) God's protection.  It only took one split second.  ONE!  As I put the phone away after checking the missed call, there I found Babyroo slowly sliding from the bed head first.  I tried to catch his two flying-in-the-air legs; but I was too late.  Bam!!!  He landed on his forehead.  Praise the Lord, our bed and box altogether are not too high.  Praise the Lord it was a slo-mo.  It could have been worse; and I could have been more careful.  I believe God sent His angels to catch Babyroo.  He still cried though.  Papahroo came to the rescue with ice packs.  I hugged Babyroo tightly and nursed him.  He's slowly calming down.  We checked the rest of his head and body.  Within the next 5 minutes, Babyroo's back to his active mode as if nothing just happened.  This time, he tried to grab the ice packs.

See that red boo boo on his left forehead.  It was redder 10 minutes earlier.
Now you want to grab what?  Ice packs??  Wait a minute, buddy.  Come here please.  Lemme squeeze and hug you first.

What are you thankful for today?  May this be a blessing.  Until tomorrow!!
