reward

Was there a time in your life when you did something good and wished that you could be rewarded?

When I was a child, I always do good (which is what my parents want me to do) in as much as I could. However, I wasn’t really after any material rewards. What I was hoping for then is that they would be happy and proud of me. I just thought that it’s my responsibility to do so.

Well, I believe I was a good daughter during my childhood days. My parents had always told everyone that I was the best daughter that anyone can have. Of course, that’s enough of a proof to say that I succeeded in making them happy and proud of me. (or is it?)

Now that I am not a child any more, I don’t do good just because of my parents. I still consider what they feel and what they taught me. Nonetheless, it’s my spouse and son who inspire me to do good. They are the reasons why I would like to do better than what’s expected of me. Hopefully, I don’t get to fail them.

I want them to be proud of me just like my parents. I am not asking for any thing. I don’t even ask that they tell the world how fortunate they are to have me. All I aspire is that by doing good, I am becoming a good mother and spouse.

I believe that by becoming a good daughter, mother, and spouse, I have become a good creation of God. Therefore, I become worthy of His love and His promises…

horoscope???

I usually read my horoscope in friendster for fun. This morning, I took time thinking if there's a slight possibility to what my horoscope says.

"Good karma is definitely coming your way, today, and you can expect some extremely rewarding gifts to land right in your lap."

It's good that I have a good karma coming my way. However, there's no need for gifts. It's enough that I'm not having bad karma...

"You've done some wonderful deeds, yourself, in the recent past, and the people you have helped are ready to help you, should you need anything."

It's great that there are people who are ready to help me if I need anything. But then, I've received much help in the past few months and it's time that I do the helping and giving.

"This is going to be a very educational day that will teach you how to win people over to your cause without sending them on a guilt trip. You are learning more about how to use your charm to get ahead in life."

Use my charm? Win people over? I've been using my charm if I have to, but it doesn't work always. Most of the time, my charm works for guys who probably want something from me. It haven't worked for the people I really want to win over. If I will win people over to my cause, I will be celebrating. Good luck to me, because that's close to impossible.

Since it's just a horoscope, I'm not hoping that any of this will come true. I just hope that I really did good not to get something bad. Yet, if something bad happens, I know I have my Lord for me to turn to...
