They inspire me

This is my official entry for Marce
Chris first blogversary of Inspirational Insights .

To inspire means "To affect, guide, or arouse by divine influence" defined by the Free Dictionary. So what inspires me?

My mom. I witnessed how she subdue self-will in a child and work together with God. She taught us to pray as soon as we can speak. She gave us nothing we cry for and only give what is good for us if we asks for it politely. To prevent lying, she punishes no fault that is freely confessed but never allow a rebellious sinful act to go unchecked. She commends and rewards good behavior. She strictly observes all promises she made for her children. That's my mom. I'm so proud of her and I often try to emulate her way of life.

My dad. I have been VERY blessed by being one of his 14 children! My father's undivided attention for me by treating me as your only child when I'm talking, even though you have 14 children inspires me. He's the one who holds me securely by his arm when I take my faltering first steps. He always make sure that I abide by what is being said to me at the cost of appearing strict. He's there at my bedside caressing my hair strands when I'm not feeling that well only to assure me that everything will be o.k. He loves me with an unconditional love and protect us all with all his might. His blessed marriage with Mama inspires us to be the best in our marriage life. His commitment and undying devotion to God encourages us to continue serving God through thick and thin. No matter how old I am, I'm always be my father's little girl.

My husband. His unconditional love for me is undeniable. He touched my life and made my dreams come true. He has taught my heart to sing songs just for him. He inspires me to be the better wife God intended me to be.

My son. The moment I laid my eyes on my baby, I can't help it but cry with joy. He's one of the greatest gifts God has entrusted upon us. I promise myself to be the best mom for my baby. He means so much to me. He gives more meaning to my life. His smile erases my weariness and worries. His baby talk means a sweet music to my ear that soothe my soul. His cry touches my heart that as I reach out for him, it's my prayer that I'll always be there for him. He's the prince of my life, the best son of his dad and the cuddly angel of his grandparents, titos and titas. I love him so much. It is my prayer that God will empower me to teach him His ways and be the mom he'll be proud of. It is my daily prayer that God will give him the best in this life and he'll grow up into a fine young man leading a righteous and upright life. He inspires me to be a better mom each day.

My siblings. They all look up to me. They respected me and so proud of me. I'm inspired to be the best "Ate" for them.

My students. (alias "my little creatures") . They all are different worlds, full of love, energy, passion and confusion at the same time. I've been teaching this group of kids for two years now and there hasn't been a day that I didn't think what I could do to make their lives and learning English better because they make me be a more creative, patient, understanding, loving and caring person.It's really amazing to see these children who I teach are the same I'm being taught by .
