Dear
God,
I’m
here to pray for someone who multitasks so much in life. This is my prayer
about a person who acts as a concerned friend, a devout Christian and follower
of the Divine Mercy, a volunteer civil servant, a neighbor, an encourager, a
martyr, a punching bag for emotions, a wife, a grandmother, someone every child
would want for a mother, (as of late) a very caring sister, and the queen of my
universe, my superwoman – my mommy.
She
amazes me at how much work she can squeeze in the numbered hours of everyday,
how she could attend to so much obligations. She does so much that I feel she
almost forgets to look after herself sometimes. So much time for others, so
little for herself.
This
is my gift for her. She prays a lot for other people. It’s time someone else
prays for her too.
I
pray for my momma’s health and strength. I’m very much aware that, considering
all the hazards present in this lifetime, to reach 60 may already be considered
a great blessing for anyone. My mom, well, she’s more than 60 years old now and
still hustling it. She’s just the coolest because she manages to maintain the
youth of her heart. She’s the favorite lola
of all her grandkids for a reason. Ffor that, I’m beyond thankful already, but
I also hope she stays this healthy and strong for longer ‘cause we still got a
lot in store for her, particularly me. I still haven’t paid back all the good
things she had done and is still doing for me.
Even
when I already know she’s being showered with love by all the people around her
because she’s just as loving in return, I still pray that people won’t get
tired of expressing just how much they love her in all the ways they can. This
goes especially to us children of hers. Because we have always been so aware of
her presence in our lives, we sometimes take her for granted and forget to show
her true worth as our mother. I shall strive to be more communicative
and appreciative of her.
In
connection, I also wish that she sees all the love she’s surrounded by. She has
her problems, everyone does, but don’t let her succumb; don’t let them
overshadow the more important things, like that of love.
I
pray that she doesn’t lose her sense of purpose in this world. She’s a lot of
things, and she’s so much more.
May
she keep her wisdom intact and use it for the benefit of everyone around her.
Let her voice of reason be used to better other people.
I
pray that you keep on showering her with blessings, big and small, that she
achieves all her other aspirations because I believe she is still entitled to
have dreams even at this point in her life.
Most
important of all, thank you for giving her her life, best gift of all. If not
for her, none of us siblings would be here, so thank you!
It
may already be two weeks since her day, but the sincerity of this prayer is as genuine
as ever.
Belated
happy birthday, mommy! My love for you is way beyond my insensitivity and
misgivings. I love you!
