Personal Reflections on Family Challenges

Dear Daddy,

Good morning Dad. In today's gospel my personal reflection is giving me focus on this verse - "But I am not alone, because the Father is with me".

Thank you so much for that reminder Daddy....

I know I have doubting your presence, lately. Especially with Ellie's situation right now. Although I know that I have to be always faithful and full of gratitude always.

I know I should be thankful always and always focus on the blessings that you have given us. That the 90% in our lives is blessing and only 10% are challenges.

But I know you have seen what is in my heart Dad. You know that I am doubtful and I worry for ellie. Especially at night Daddy when she has difficulty in breathing. Luoy kaayu Daddy. Father I thank You for everything that you have given me, even for ellie's situation right now. But Dad, I ask please heal her Dad. I don't I have the strength to see her like this.

Also Dad, for whatever wisdom that You want us to learn, grant me and mayden the grace to learn it fast. Please please please grant ellie your healing.

In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Personal Reflections on Growth

Dear Daddy,

Hi Dad, I totally missed talking to you on daily journal and reflection. Months have passed.

Life is always great. My business is doing good. Slowly stabilizing and making good income. My family life has been fun and full of love. My daughter growing more beautiful and happiest everyday. My wife, getting lovely by the day. My spiritual life, continuously growing.

I still have a lot of failures though. Yet, after struggling for a certain period of time. I always get up and start again.

Daddy, I believe life is meant for my growth. It is also the main reason why I will continuously have challenges, failure, success, sadness, sin, happiness, grief, etc.

Life will always be a journey towards finding who we are, and how we can serve you best, Daddy.

Today the gospel reminds me that to seek you, I just need to look at Jesus. For no one goes to the father except through the son.

He continuously guides and works with me patiently through the holy spirit so that I always come closer to you.

Daddy, thank you so much for love. I love you always. I know that I will continuously grow in becoming a better servant of your kingdom.

In Jesus name, amen.
