Good evening my dear sweet and grateful steemit family, friends and fellow uloggers. Today is Sunday and it is still raining here in our place. It's been raining the entire week already and our circuit breaker almost exploded yesterday because of the nonstop rain. I praise and thank God because my nanay's caregiver's voice was loud enough for me to jump downstairs to turn off our main switch. It was already sparking and we smelled like something's on fire already.

Thank God for yesterday. We were able to avoid having explosion here. Praise God for His divine intervention. I was able to text my good friend, @catietan and she referred me to their electrician. After lunch, he came and did the work. Although it is not yet completely finished, we're happy that we have our electricity back using extension.

I have so many things to thank God for this week and this is just some of the many things that I'm grateful to God. First is the solved sparking circuit breaker and second is the generosity of one of my good friends. She bought a new pair of school uniform shoes for my eldest. I'm almost in tears when she came to fetch me the other day to have dinner with her. She came with a box of that new pair of shoes for Chauncey with 4 pairs of socks. :-)❤️ They knew how my life is and how I've been through. They knew everything about me and my family. I haven't asked for anything but their listening ears and words of wisdom. But I was too shock when I saw what she did and she handed to me the box. I was teary eyed and I said thank you so much you are so kind and she replied smiling, you are always welcome and by the way that shoes is not yours (with emphasis hahaaha), that is for your Chauncey ok? hahahaha. I know right, I told her and gave it to my daughter. She was so happy to have it too. :-)

I thought she was just asking me what to buy, she usually asks me what's best or which one to buy. I was at home already replying to her messenger when she send me these pictures. She's asking me which is better.

Little did I know, she was buying it for my daughter pala. I thought she just want to have another pair of shoes for herself.

She was choosing between the first 2 pictures and this last one. I told her that I like the first one better. She replied, you're too slow to reply me back. I already bought the one with straps huh! And I said oh, I'm sorry it's the fault of our internet connection hahahahaha. Then I received a text, inviting me to have dinner. Then this is it, she handed this pretty shoes with 4 pairs of socks not for me but for my daughter. Praise God for her :-)

I praise God for the past week and for this coming week again and I hope you enjoyed my post. God bless us all. :-)
