HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

How are you today? the same question that I received every single day of my working hours. It may be a morning greeting from my colleagues or from my boss or just a simple phrase to start a conversation.  Oftentimes, I just answered it with a plain "I'm fine" or " I'm good"  without really meaning it. No glance or emotion at all.  Admit it or not we do that because we just want people or that certain person to think that we are ok, that everything goes well with us eventhough sometimes it is not.  Or its also our way of ending any further conversation with them.

But before I answer that question with sincerity, let me indulge a little bit of what that happened this past months.  This year is really a great year for me.  Too many unexpected and overwhelming blessings poured out upon me and my family.  Most of them are  answered prayers and some are reality of my dreams.   Who ever think that those little childhood dreams of mine eventually became reality.  Those promises that I uttered long time ago were fulfilled.  Those wishful thinking are no longer wishes but became evident of what we can do and achieve.  But most especially knowing that there is special Someone who despite of all my flaw and weaknesses still love  me.  Knowing that I am precious in His sight is more than enough.  With Him I can face each new day with hope and joy even when things dont go the way I want them to be; with Him I have peace that no one can take it away from me; I am victorious in every challenges that I will face because He said , it is finished. 

So, how am I today? Hmmmm, as I look into your eyes while holding and sipping my cup of coffee,  I can say it to you with sincerity that I am blessed and  happy, though a little pain in my shoulder blade due to driving but Im doing great.  Today I woke up with full of gratitude in my heart because God gave me another day again. Today,  is a gift.  A miracle from above.   Another day to see the beauty and wonders of His creation.  Another day to be blessing to others.  Or maybe an answer to someone's prayer.

I imagine that as you read this you are smiling, maybe with a little nod or you're grinning from ear to ear. Believing that everyday is a fulfillment of God's many unfold blessings and promises to us.  That each new day is a manifestation that we are love by Him.  Each new day is a promise that no matter how hard life will be, we are not alone.  Each new day is His way of telling us that the beautiful future ahead of us is just a few steps away.  Now, its my turn to ask you "How are you today? .  I hope you have a great one.
