First Time…

I remember the first time I flew in an airplane. A few hours into the trip, I could not hear the sound of the engine…everything was quiet, I had just woken up, and I actually thought the plane had stopped for a while to take a break mid-air..seriously…Please, don’t laugh…lol

I also remember the first time I flew business class…I was so overwhelmed with joy and happiness, and I wanted to take out my phone to take some pictures, but shyness wouldn’t allow me…the passengers in the business class section were all looking put together that the few pictures I managed to take were so secretly taken..seriously…lol.

What about the first time I became a mother. I could not stop checking on my baby…hour after hour. I could not believe I was eventually going to be called someone’s mom.

Finally..the first time I got a company car….after receiving the vehicle. I was so thrilled that I called my hubby to tell him the good news…before I could say Jack Robinson…my hubby was at the company’s gate during our lunchtime..in short, he gave me the keys to our family car. He went to test drive the new car…and he continued to test drive every new vehicle I got assigned until I left the company.

Well, I intend to jog your memories…probably by now; you will also be remembering some “first times” in your life. The Great book says that we should not despise the days of small beginnings. If possible, be intentional about setting aside time today, remembering those days of small beginnings in your life, and simply be grateful. Those that appreciate their lives and show gratitude for everything are indeed happier, and they make more room for more of such blessings to flow in.
