My Good Friday

After reading a couple of blogs about repentance and Good Friday, I got inspired to write my own exprience this Holy Week. I am not really good at this. But there’s something in me telling me to spill out my thoughts and feelings.

My long weekend started yesterday. I was so bored and jealous of others enjoying their week at the beach or out of the country. And I kept on telling my sister that it’s so fun to be rich like them. They can have all that they want. But my sister kept on ignoring me and telling me that instead of being envy, I should just use this time to repent. And I was like yeah I know that. But deep inside my heart, I felt the envy. 

And so my Thursday ended with envy.

Then Friday came. This morning, envy was still there. I really wanted to go to the beach. But I had no choice but to stay inside the house. Family tradition.

I decided to go to mass this afternoon. Then bang! The beautiful songs played inside the church melted my heart. I was teary-eyed.  Realization came in. Memories were flashing - good, bad, great, sorrows, pain, love. And in all these memories, He was there. 

My God never left my side. Hard times, good times, He was there. I sometimes ignored His presence. But He was there. 

His great love for me were shown by my Dad. And I love him for my Dad.

Till now, I can feel His unconditional love through my family - my mom, yaya and sister. And I thank Him for this love. I thank Him for my life. I thank Him for the chances. I thank Him for creating me because I know that I am here to show also His love to others.

My Friday will be ending soon. And I am happy to know that today I gained something. I felt loved. Once again, I noticed His love. 

That guy Slater is so cute. :)
