Pam's Blog (Life, Marriage & Parenting)

On Thanksgiving Day, my former partners at work came to visit me and Mendell.  Ever since I left the company, I have kept in touch with these lovely folks.  It was so refreshing to see them and I had the flashbacks of all the kind things that they had done to make my job easier!  I miss our collaboration and had longed to work with them again.   I reflected on all the good things that happened to me this year and I couldn't be more grateful. I thank God for: (1) My husband and our loving marriage (2) Blessing us with Mendell (3) My family  (4) Best friends & good friends (5) Good rest during my pregnancy period (6) Breast milk (7) My unexpected new job (8) All the good people around me  (9) My gifts & talents (10) New perspective about life - Everyday counts!

Recently one of my polytechnic classmates passed away due to cancer.  Though I was never close to her, I felt very affected by her death.  It is not exactly just about the fact that she is my age but I think more about what she shared in her YouTube videos.  You can access them here .  She was living out loud as a great testimony for Christ and I truly admired her for that.  The takeaway for me is to love one another so that others will know that I am Christ's disciple (John 13:35) and to always focus on the good.  Even when she was suffering from the disease, never was she doubting God's mighty hand.  I want to be like her when I face adversity, to believe that God has a purpose for everything that happens.  RIP, my friend.  We shall meet again in heaven.
