Yes, I just turned a year older last week. The day itself was special but somehow we couldn't really celebrate it in a very special way since I got sick on that day, my daughter was just recovering from her sickness too and my Jesu was showing symptoms of getting our sickness ( tonsilitis)!
But still I praise God for that day...it's indeed the day that the Lord has made! Family and friends didn't fail to forget my birthday. Thanks to email, sms, phonecalls and friendster, they still made my DAY beautiful.
SO, on my special day, Aug. 2...we were just at home, rested, took medication and I didn't even have the appetite to eat anything. But a memory that will always linger in my mind is when I woke up with my daughter, Tricia. Jesu slept in that day because he was starting to get feverish too. Anyway, Tricia and I were just downstairs and I told her that it's my birthday! Immediately, she sang "happy birthday' and prayed for me too. Oh, her song and prayer was the sweetest thing that I've heard. It almost made me teary eyed. So, I was just reading my Bible and coughing real hard that time. THen, she put her arms around me and with "pity" in her eyes, she said, " Amma, I'll take care of you Amma!". Wow! I never expected that from my 3 year old. I'm not really sure if she knows how it is to take care of someone. But just her gesture and words of assurance brought me at the brink of tears. I realized how blessed I am!
Then, before lunchtime, Jesu and Tricia went out to buy some food. It took them quite some time to get back. But when they came back, I had surprise gifts from both of them. Jesu bought for me a beautiful pink dress while Tricia especially chose to buy a cute pink Bunny stuff toy. Tricia was so excited to give me her gift! She just loves rabbits...and so, when she gave me her gift with such joy, she didn't fail to remind me that , "appa said you can share your pink bunny with me!"...hahahahah!
So, my birthday wasn't bad after all even if I got sick. I shared that very special day with people most precious to me..:)
