Our Prayers and Thanksgiving

My dearest baby Hyzyd,

You wake up at 5:45 am today. I love the way you smile and the expression of your eyes every time I greet you “Good morning, baby”. I then let you fold your hands to pray, thanking God for the wonderful sleep you had, for the milk you drink and for the clothes you wear. We ask for God’s protection for our travel. As you know, everyday we send you to Grandma Pa. She’s the one who takes care of you while mommy and daddy are working. We also ask God to protect daddy and that He will drive for him because he still have to travel 30-45 minutes going to Songkhla after he drops your mommy at her school. We also asked God for His favor that daddy’s contract will be renewed. We’ll know the final decision from the administration tomorrow.

You know baby, last January 5, daddy went to Songkhla to pass his resume at Woranarichaloem Wittayalai and we pray for God’s favor. At 1:00 pm, your dad called us and breaks to us the good news that he was accepted right away and asked to start teaching in the afternoon. We’re so glad for God’s answer to our prayer. God also gave us Grandma Pa to take care of you after a rough day of finding nurseries and nanny.

Last night as I read to you the Bedtime Prayers, you stopped sucking your fingers when I started to read about the children in other land left hungry, cold and frightened and you tried hard to reach the book. Right at that moment, God convicted me to pray for the orphans around the world and especially the babies in Gaza. We pray that God is going to protect them and give them the life He has planned for them. May the children come to know our Almighty God, feel His love and comfort and be the Father to the fatherless. May He touch the hearts of the staff and volunteers of the orphanage that His love will overwhelm them and enable them to take care of each child as if they are from their own blood.

After that, you fall asleep on your mommy’s chest. You slept soundly from 9:00 pm and ask for your milk at 3:30 am.

Mommy is concerned about your face. Red patches are on your cheeks. Your pediatrician already gave us cream for that but to no avail. Our Chinese neighbor gave us Hazeline Snow Cream when she saw your face. We pray that it will work and God will use it to heal it.

Be good today as always with Grandma. I already miss you baby. See you this afternoon.

With love and kisses,

Mommy Genny

Mommy Moments-Why Hyzvhann Hyzydyll?

The name of our son is Hyzvhann Hyzydyll (read as Hezvan Hezedel). Many are wondering how did we get the name, what does it mean and how to read it. Some jokingly commented that maybe I hate the vowels and some named him the consonant baby...he..he..he. The name was given by his grandfather (my father). We told him that it will be an honor for us if he could give the name of their first grandson. Actually, my father is the one who give us our names-from the eldest (it's me) 'till the 14th child (our youngest). We all have two given names like me I'm named after the combination of my parent's name-Benoni and Geneditha. The result is "Genebei" plus their chosen name for me, Faith = Genebei Faith . I noticed that all of us had great and unique names especially our youngest which is named Doxagennes Keilah . Each of our names has corresponding meanings. Hyzvhann is a modified name of the hebrew vocabulary Heshvan (Cheshvan). Heshvan (Cheshvan) or Mar Cheshvan ...

Hyzyd and the Berenstains' Bears

Hyzyd got new favorites week after week. Most of his favorites involves books. He's not really into toys and movies but books! This week he's into a new book titled "The Berenstain Bears and the Big Red Kite". Guess who's his favorite reader? His dad! He won't let me read it to him. Poor mommy!:( On the other, I'm quite relieved because Hyzyd is giving his dad a hard task...he..he...He won't let his dad go over to other pages. He wanted his dad to create stories after stories out from this illustration for as long as 30 minutes! LOL! I also enjoy the stories made up by his dad- stories that came from "out-of-nowhere". can you help us make more more stories out from this illustration? It seems that we're running out of ideas...LOL! an entry for
