I went through a time of uncertainty and depression. I'm now back on track and looking back now, I came to realize how the helping hand of God worked - He showered me with old reliable friends who were sources of material and moral assistance; very supportive family whom I didn't have to ask what I needed; and a wife and three kids who understood me when we were down. My wife worked with me in putting up a small business and was very patient in trying up a lot of things that will earn us our daily upkeep. <br />I remember exactly that day while sitting at the beach while reading my daughter's little note to me that read "I love you Dadi,Mami" that she wrote with her waterpaint which is near gone..I wrote on that piece of paper a promise to her that we will regain the comforts she / they used to enjoy. I still have that note and check listing every promise that I wrote on that note. Looking back, that episode of my life has given me more than enough time to review my life and realize the mistakes, the time lost and opportunities I let slip through my fingers. I can not change the past but I can do better moving forward. I can not say I fully know the Lord nor do I claim closer relationship. But I do know, and felt all throughout this phase of my life - his presence and helping hand, his guidance and direction, his patient re-education and re-orientation - and if only for that, I have an entire lifetime to be thankful to Him. I can now rest assure, that if ever, same episode repeats itself, I'm better prepared, more accepting and say, "I can't do this alone, direct and guide me." mbrThe Rascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755117291165332206noreply@blogger.com
