I'm Thankful for...

Today, I'm thankful for the weekend and the relaxing Saturday I spent at home, though I was absent from the PICPA bowling today (with an excuse of "not fit to play" because I had two tablets of paracetamol during lunch time).

I'm thankful for the fast internet connection that allowed me to view videos on youtube, register at e-bay and ioffer, and I'm thankful that the dvds of 1 Litre of Tears and Ganbatte Ikimasshoi are available for online purchase.

I'm thankful for the warm water from the bathroom shower, the soothing music playing on my computer, the tasty roasted peanuts I'm eating using chopsticks (practicing because I do not know how to use them!), and the fresh scent of fabric conditioner on my blanket and pillow case when I sleep.

I'm thankful for the smiling faces I see on the photos of my family and friends posted on Facebook and Friendster and for the thoughtful messages and comments I have received from them. I'm thankful that I can hear my mom's voice over the phone and hear that she's doing fine. I'm thankful that my sister arrived safely back in Dubai, my other sister arrived safely in the Philippines, and my other sisters are ok in Sharjah, Manila and Bacolod. I'm thankful that my brother is healthy. I'm thankful that I feel happy, relaxed and contented today.

Lastly, I'm thankful that I can type using this keyboard and post on this blog. :-)

What are you thankful for? :)

Who Am I (a song by Casting Crowns)

"Who Am I"
a song by Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt

Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever-wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
