Modesty aside, I used to say, I am blessed. Indeed God is true to His promises to those who strive to be obedient and live humble lives. Humility, perseverance, and frugality continue to be practiced in the family. In the farm which is our inheritance from grand dad and grand ma, everything is very simple. When we have to stay up late in the night, we have to kindle a kerosene lamp. If we need water, we go to the well. If we like to eat seafoods, we go and catch some from the fishpond or from the coral reefs at the beach front. If we like to eat some fruits, we climb trees for fresh young coconut juice or meat if not mangoes, and a line of many other fruit trees in season. Seldom do we buy coffee, sugar, and cocoa. Some trees were planted to give us enough supply the whole year round. We also planted some organics for the table. Others said, how crude. But, when we are bored with city life we have somewhere to go and enjoy the simple life, simple needs, and simple living, afforded me and my family. Which is also our oun way of appreciating the God given gifts through our grand parents Sixto and Juanita.

GOD GIVEN GIFTS
