"Love can be shown in various ways, material things or amount of money is not the basis of it, it's the thoughts that count..ππ·
Being together with our loved ones is a great and sweet feeling to experience, especially on their very special day, like their birthday. Even if we spend this inside our home, sweet home, or outdoors, what matters is we are spending it with them in whatever ways we can. π
Doing and giving special things for them with love and effort is also my way of showing how I love them and treasure them in my heart.π·π
πI PAINT MY LOVEππ
Each of us has our way of showing and expressing our love to our family, loved ones, and even our close friends. Some buy expensive gifts, give all the celebrant's favorites, travel to beautiful places, and a lot of other ways..all of these are valid, sweet, and acceptable as long as they are all given with love, care, and sincerity.π
I, as a person, mother, daughter, and sister, also want to give the best for my family. The best thing for me is by giving my time and effort for the gift I wanted to give most especially to my son.π
My son is my everything, my dreams, happiness, and life are for him, next to God. I raised him with good values, I taught him to count every blessing and thing that came his way. He learned how to appreciate even the simplest thing given to him, no matter who gave it to him. And I am thankful too because aside from guiding and teaching him good values, He possessed a kind, giving, and humble heart. π
πThe Birthday Cardπ
Last year on his birthday, November 3, 2021, I was able to give him a very simple gift but full of love, a DIY kind of gift. I love to paint even though I could only paint very simple things. I'm not a professional one, only a frustrated painter only. He he!
The night before his birthday, I waited for him to get to sleep, almost midnight if I am not mistaken. I took the watercolor and a piece of bond paper. I don't have any idea of what design I am going to make, but as my hand moved I started to paint my love for my son..to my unico hijo.. π
A very simple birthday card with a message full of love and prayers for him, by God's grace I finished it in no time, maybe it happened because I was so excited and my heart dictated what should I need to paint on that card with God's guidance.. because I always ask God's help through Christ Jesus our Lord before I do or perform anything.π
After I finished the card, I wrote what is inside my heart, love, and wishes for him. I know my son felt the unconditional love and care I am giving to him, and that I am willing to do everything for him, he is my life.π
When he woke up early in the morning he read the bible and after that, I presented to him my gift and my happiness were unmeasurable as I saw how happy he was. I feel the love and appreciation of my son that made me feel so blessed and loved. My son is also a very sweet kid, he also gave me memorable gifts, a simple gesture of giving me a cupcake bought in the store, I was sick at that time. He put it on a plate and presented it in a very special way. He got the money from the coins he is saving for my birthday. A precious loving gesture that melts my heart, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY UNICO, Mz.β€β€β€
2 more days, and it's his birthday again, I am now thinking of another special and precious DIY gift for him, may God guide me with an adorable idea.ππ·
πLIFE POINTS: All gifts are precious as long as it is heartily given and full of love, care, and sincerity. For me, it is easy to buy any gift for our loved ones but I always want to do it so I can show them how I love and care for them. That is one of the great ways to show how important they are in my lifeπ
Thank you for reading and keep a beautiful smile always..Let God be the center of life forever and always!to God be the glory through Christ Jesus our Lord.π·π
