Let me post an excerpt from my email to my sister. Its ma's first day of fasting away. Do you sometimes feel a strange silence, a lull between you and some people you know or have lived with for a long time? It should'nt be the case, but it happens. Why is that? I think I know. just wanted to ask aloud or write aloud (?)Days like this when I am alone give me time to think and mull things over-the past, the present and the future.
Walking to SM for a jeepney ride in thoughtful reverie moistens my eyes. I blink several times to rub my eyes dry. The typhoon winds seem rush to my aide drying anything damp on my cheeks fast, especially whenever I feel into my pockets and discover I did not bring any hanky.
I can always sink to sadness and tears but I fight these back with God's word, ever faithful and true. When I cannot see anything, I remember God's promises, recite them over and over until all is well with my soul.
It looks like the typhoon decided to leave at once. Its windy but theres a lot of sunshine.
FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU SAYS THE LORD, PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO HARM YOU, PLANS TO GIVE YOU A HOPE AND A FUTURE. JEREMIAH 29:11
