“Tong! Tong!
I won a TV!” I was shouting as I was excitedly walking towards him. “I won a
TV, Tong.” I told him. “Yes, I know.” He replied. I run my fingers across my
name on the wall. “Yes, I know.” He said again.
Of course, he knew I won. I saw him reading
the list of winners long before I could reach his place. Well, it wasn’t really
obvious I was that very excited, isn’t it?
At last, I learned something that he didn’t know yet. He asked, “How
does your TV looks like? How big it is?.” I smilingly pointed out to him the
box that the supermarket staff was carrying. “Wow!”, he said. I was waiving to
him as I was on my way out. Tongtong is a long time friend. He works in the cathedral. He helps during all the masses everyday.
I recalled it was one of my tiring night when I suddenly miss watching a movie in a big screen. I was
busy enough to find the time to go to a movie house. When I do, there is not a
good one showing. Can’t fit in my
budget, too. Well, it does if I go
alone. But I need to bring a battalion if ever I go and watch one. So we ended up watching on my netbook.
God never gave me the chance or the fund to visit a movie
house. He brought the big screen to my room instead.

It was getting so late that I and my officemate decided to
go home. We were at a Christmas Party. A
raffle draw was going on. I was saying
we’d better leave already because my name might not be called anyway. But then
it happened! My name was called! I won an overnight stay at a hotel.
Then I remembered several months ago, I wished to stay in
one of the hotel in the city. The one on my mind that time, was the hotel that
I won.
Silly Prayer
I was really surprised.
For me, it’s unusual that I won. I don’t usually win in raffle
draws. The last time was in 2001 at a mall in Bacolod. Thought it was the first
and the last.
Then I said, “Thank
you, Lord. This is just a sign. I know something greater is going to come!”
Yes, indeed! It was
New Year’s Eve when I received a text message from my officemate that I won a 32"
LCD TV from a Supermarket Raffle Promo. I believe something greater than this is still coming this year. This is the year of blessing to me.
Silly Prayer
I’ve been wanting to have a pouch like that of my cousin. A
pouch that has three compartments and can hold three cellphones. I’ve been looking for one and found none. I thought maybe God will show me or will give me one someday.
I can still make use of the individual pouch that I have.
Today my officemate gave us all in the office the exact
pouch that I really wanted. It’s her post Christmas gift.
Silly Prayer
Do you also have one? I have a lot. Not just three. Some
were half meant and some I don’t expect to receive or happen. I noticed, these are all my wants and not my
needs. I tried asking God why.
But I guess I just have to let Him be. It’s been sometime
since I felt God’s pampering.
Silly Prayer
God loves us so much.
He is generous. He supplies for our needs, even our silly wants.
