Moment with God: I was driving home this afternoon from the mall under heavy rain, trying to reach home before 4pm for our flores de mayo. But the heavy rains continued while already home. I was worried that we had to cancel the flores for this day due to the weather, and I knew the children in our village would be disappointed. They have been looking forward to the flower offering, the recitation of the Rosary, and of course the snacks every afternoon. Specially that there are only few more days left in May for the flores, I was thinking the children would be sad if we didn't have one this afternoon. Silently we just wished that Mama Mary would take care of the weather for the children.
Few minutes before 4pm the rains suddenly stopped. So Yen and I rushed to the Chapel for the flores de mayo. As I started to sound the electronic bells, the children started to show up one by one with joy in their faces. Their smiles always make our day. Although there were fewer children than usual but they were happy we had flores this afternoon.
Coincidence perhaps? It doesn't matter. A man of faith believes that things happen for a reason. And the joy in the faces of these children is more than a reason. Thank You, Lord, and thank you, Mama Mary, for the little miracle. Amen.
