Day 11: Sparkle

When my niece was still two years old, she is now 10, I remembered how excited she was whenever I have something for her as "ubong".   I can still visualize vividly the sparkle in her eyes.  What I brought for her as pasalubong? A mirror worth ten pesos.   

This girl was already so "kikay" at two.   

I remembered this morning how happy I was when my simple wish was granted.   I felt so spoiled. Hihi.  I simply asked my Father above if He can give me a seat in the aisle section for I have a different feeling sitting in the middle section whenever I attend the Feast celebration at the Aliw Theater.   I did not know why I feel this way.  I did not know if it was only in my mind but, It felt difficult to breathe.   I kept on saying in my head, "Lord sana sa dulo, sana sa dulo (ako makaupo)."  I felt relieved when I saw that the seat assigned to me was the fourth seat near the aisle.  Atleast, not in the middle section.   After approximately 10 minutes of sitting, the usher came near to us and asked the three people beside me to move 3 seats to the left and this meant that they will be transferring to the other side and yes, I will be seating beside the aisle.   

If you could only see how my eyes sparkled at that time and especially when the resident preacher said, "There is no problem too small for God's concern."  I felt like he was talking to me directly.  Amazing!   

My dad is not here anymore, but my Daddy God is always present to listen to me and from time to time give my request no matter how small it is especially if He knew that this wish will not harm me in any way.  He sees what's best for me.

He really wanted me to focus on the talk I guess that's why He allowed me to seat near the aisle.  Like a child this morning, I was so happy and blessed for my Father was very attentive to my need. Thank you Father! How sweet of You!
