Refrigerators & Dads

Refrigerators. It so happened that my friends and I stumbled upon this topic. You see, my friend told us that she knows of someone selling a refrigerator for a cheap price. And so, I instinctively asked what type of refrigerator it was – the specs and features – how much cubic ft, the color, how much power, and if it was a two-door/single-door type of refrigerator.

I did not quite expect the reaction they gave me. They had this ‘stunned’ look like they did not understand a thing I was saying. Then one of them blurted out: “I really need a man in my house!”.

Turns out, they had no clue as to what I was saying. And that they need a MAN to take care of all those stuff.

Lucky for me – I knew all of those things. I guess it’s safe to say that I know more about replacing a lightbulb, changing a flat tire, doing simple electronic fixes, making use of a hammer and a nail (without getting myself injured) as compared to an average female of my age.

And all of that – I owe to my Father.

You see, as I was growing up, I had a lot of questions. And by that I mean – a LOT! I remember looking at what he does when he repairs stuff and ask him all the things that could possibly fit in my small head. Mind you, those questions were not simply answerable by a ‘yes’ or ‘no. Usually it entails a lot of explaining and sometimes even an actual demonstration. So I guess all my annoying questions when I was a kid – up until now – all paid off. I have learned a lot! All because he did not get tired of me asking questions.

Thanks a bunch! to my Best Dad!

Happy Father’s Day!

Her Gift: A Book

I was deeply dozing off to dreamland. It’s a warm Sunday afternoon and this has usually been my regimen.

My little sister woke me up and handed me a package. It’s from my bestfriend AND it’s quite heavy.

I opened it up and saw a bag and inside it was a book. Actually, it’s a collection of books.

She has given me a Quad.

My bestfriend gives the best gifts.

It’s like the culmination of my “one-week birthday celebration” indeed.

And like my blog post yesterday about Gratitude – here’s my Thank you.

THANK YOU val! Thank you Thank you Thank you gyud!

I’m forever thankful for having a great bespren.. YOU!

A Story of Gratitude

They were gathered in a circle, eager to listen to my story as part of our primary lesson. Their bright and wide eyes glisten in anticipation as I start off the story with “Once there was a man who came into a city who saw ten lepers from afar…”.

You see, I am a Sunday school teacher for kids ages 8 to 11 years old. And they love to hear stories from the scriptures. Sometimes, these kids tend to be noisy and unruly – but that’s because they are – well, kids.

But this time, they seem to be attentive and quite curious about the story. Perhaps it’s because not many have known the story about the Ten lepers from the book of Luke.

So the story goes this way..

Christ saw these ten lepers. And these lepers, upon seeing Him, asked to be healed of their sickness. Jesus told them to go to the priests and then they would be healed.

Indeed they were made clean. They rejoiced and soon after went their way. Of the ten, only one went back his way and gave thanks to Jesus.

Jesus said to the man: “Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole”.

After finishing the story, I asked my class what lesson we can get from the story. They all answered in chorus: “To say Thank You”.

Gratitude. How often do we say “Thank You”?

Do we express our joy and delight upon receiving something? Do we acknowledge even the small things that our fellow men have done for us?

This story, no matter how simple it is – has taught not only the little kids in my class – but has taught me as well.

I am thankful for the life God has given me. For the gifts He has bestowed upon me and for making me – ME.

I am thankful for friends and family, for people who care and for those that have made me stronger.

I am thankful for a million other things that surround me. (- This has just given me an idea. Starting today, I shall make a blog post about the things that I am thankful for – even the small ones – and I’ll organize them in a new category – “I’m thankful for”..)

How about you? What are you thankful for?
