Simple Things
At the 9am Family/Children's Mass on Sunday, Fr. Al asked the kids to join him at the altar for homily. They normally do that with the kids during the Children's mass.
When asked what was the most exciting thing that happened to them that week, one of the kids said, "It's my dad's birthday!"
A little girl said, "I saw my friend", and a little boy said, "We went to Santa Cruz". Santa Cruz is a city by the ocean, 70 miles south of San Francisco.
Another kid said, "My mom got me crayons", while another said, "my mom allowed me to stay up late".
Sometimes I envy. I envy children who find so much joy in the simplest of things! And how they appreciate the small yet kind gestures of others that oftentimes we would have hardly noticed.
And I am guilty. Guilty for every now and then I want so much that at times, I tend to leave out the things that really matter.
Aren't we blessed to have these little ones who constantly remind us that it is the simple things that actually make life great?

Very true Liza.
Great entry and very cute kaayo si Lucas {this is lucas, right liz? wala naman ko maanad sa iya nga buhok - murag ning tubo naman}
that's why i love kids... their innocence teaches me a lot of things like going back to the basics.
Lucas looks so cute.. bitaw nitubo na.

I also look forward to the day when Lucas will finally meet you! I bet he knows you already because his mom and dad talks about you a lot, since he was still in my belly!
