Survivor Mom

My friend is turning 40 years old next month. She told me sh’es excited because of the old saying that life begins at 40, and at the same time quite sad because she feel that she already reached the age of 40 and yet she hasn’t accomplished that much in her life. It was her dream that when she reached the age of 40, she already have a house, a car, and had traveled in her dream places.  But those are just little frustrations for her because they are just materials things, she’s actually happy because she has a loving husband and great kids and they have stable jobs which in due time will make them achieve their dreams and desires.

Anyway, i’m looking for 40th birthday gifts online, i want to find something unique to make her happy. I know the internet has a lot of diverse ideas for unique gifts.  I want to give her a very special gift since she’s my childhood friend and she’s really very dear to me.

I was talking to my officemate last time, he is a member of a certain religion in our country. He said they are having a hard time ministering to new members especially to men because when they ask them to follow the set of rules their church are implementing, men would usually follow at first but later on they will just stop attending because they cannot conform to the church rulings and systems.

I told him why it is difficult for a person to change or to stay in their religion. Because it is only the intention of religion that people be conformed to their system.

On the other hand, it is the intention of God that we are transformed from within. Transformation comes only if we have a true relationship with God. Transformation starts by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Savior.

These past days we are hearing an unusual sound in our car. I asked my husband what could be the problem and he said the sound is coming from the fan of car’s aircon. He said he’s not really sure so he’s planning to have it checked by auto mechanic. I told him to do it as soon as possible if he doesn’t want to experience trouble while travelling on the road.

Looking for breakdown service is not easy in our place, and that makes me worried. He is not really knowledgeable in car trouble shooting so if the car breakdown he will be totally helpless. That’s why it is really important to know what to do in case of car breakdown or or to be prepared in case of roadside emergencies.
