25th week already!

You are kicking more frequently now. Each kick never fails to bring a smile to my face and a spark of happiness in my heart.

We are grappling with financial issues this week, trying our best to save up for your needs, especially your education. It’s never too early to plan and to save, isn’t it?

I read in a Lent reflection that joy and gratitude are the qualities of the heart by which we recognize those who are committed to a life in service in His path. Because real service makes joy; real service where we do the service for love and not for any rewards for ourselves. Just like a mother does not be rewarded for the attention she pays to her child, she does it out of love, and she does it joyfully.
