Good morning po!
This week hasn't been too terribly eventful, so not a bunch to report... but I did learn how to make lugaw. Well, cheater lugaw. It's cream of chicken soup with rice and soy sauce and calamansi. It'd be better with cilantro but I haven't seen cilantro in forever and a half. Also I made more cookies. I love cookies. I know we probs won't need to eat in heaven because immortal and stuff, but I hope we'll still eat there anyway because I really love food. Except seafood. And smelly green mush (sorry mum).
Anyway, this week has definitely been a bit of a patience tester, because... well, I love Malyn, but sometimes AGGE. She's a handful (bucketful, poolful...). But she's getting a lot better at praying, and she's excited to "apat simbahan" so she can get baptized. She's an adventure for sure, but it's okay cause she's helping me develop Christlike attributes ;)
Also this week I've been thinking about The Princess and the Goblin. There's a part in the book where Princess Irene really wants to show her great great grandmother to her friend Curdie. But when she goes to introduce them to each other, Curdie can't see the grandmother. When Princess Irene asks why he wasn't able to see her, the grandmother says something to the effect of "He didn't see me because he didn't want to see me. Even if he had seen me, he wouldn't have believed it. He would've passed it off as a dream." And I thought about how that's so applicable to us. There are so many times that Heavenly Father blesses us in our lives and we just choose not to recognize it. We take for granted the many blessings He gives us every day and wonder why He doesn't play a bigger role in our lives. Silly, isn't it? It's up to us to want to believe. It's up to us to have the faith to look for the things that happen every day that are blessings in disguise. So let's try this week to have a bit more faith and really SEE :)
Much love,
Sister Burton!
