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- Hyzyd's playing time

Aside from playing by himself , Hyzyd's fave playmates are his dad and his uncle Bjoy-my bro. He's enjoying every minute of it! Last July 4, 2008, it's Hyzyd's first time exploring the toys in TESCO play station! It isn't yet time for him to play in there for it's recommended for 1 year old and above but he's gesturing to his dad that he want to try on! What a fun he had! We bought that green elephant because the first time he saw it and try on it, he just love it. He will not let go of the poor elephant. You'll see he's riding on it while we're shopping. Head on to Mommy Moments to see other kids enjoying their playing time!

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 ...

Mommy Moments-Rain, Rain Go Away!

It seldom rains here and when it rains Hyzyd doesn't have a chance to witness the rain coz we just stay in our bedroom, play, watch movie and sleep! For the sake of this meme ( LOL!), I prayed for rain to come and I'll let my baby witness the outpouring of the rain...Heaven heard my prayer and it came right after we came from school. We watched the heavy rain on our balcony and the baby enjoyed it. It's not yet time for my baby to play under the rain . Enjoy reading other entries about kiddos desire to let the rain go away coz " little Johnny " wants to play at Mommy Moments !
