It was my mother’s 38th birthday yesterday! Unfortunately, we weren't able to celebrate her special day yesterday because both my parents are in Malaysia while we are here in the Philippines. So, my siblings and I just decided to make a birthday video as a birthday present to her. How's that? :D
I remember writing her letters when I was still a little kid (although I’m still a kid) and she really appreciates every letter. I think air-mailed letters are costly and a bit vintage (?), I hope she will still appreciate how we tried to creatively make use of our hi-technology.

I just finished reading “The Fault in our Stars” by John
Green and I would like to quote some sentences from the main character’s mother
when she said, “As long as either of us
is alive, I will be your mother… Even when you die, I will be your mom, Hazel. I
won’t stop being your mom. Have you stopped loving Gus? ... Well, then how
could I stop loving you?”
A review of this book will be another blog post, so for now
I’ll be leaving with our birthday video. (It’s funny when you see yourself on
camera. Hehe.)
By the way, the title of the song is I Have Been Blessed, by
The Rochester’s. The lyrics and tune are wonderful. Praise God for the gift of
music! The song says that if we will just mind the little things or even the
common things that we have in life, we will see how God has been so good in our
life for He has blessed us with so much. Us three, personally have been so much blessed already
when God gave us our wonderful parents. I thank Him for that and for all the
many other wonderful things He has given me and still gives me.
I Have Been Blessed Lyrics and Chords:
C Am
C Am
When He
walks among us all that He does
F G
All of His
mercy and all of His love
C Am
And the pen
of the writer could write everyday
F G
Even this
world could never contain
C - F - C
How I’ve
been blessed
C Am
The warmth
in the winter, the flowers in spring
F G
The laughter
in summer, and the changing of leaves
C Am
The food on
my table, a good place to sleep
F G
Clothes on
my back, shoes on my feet
C - F - C
I have been
blessed.
CHORUS:
C7 F G
I have been
blessed God is so good to me
C Am
Precious are
His thoughts of you and me
F G
No way I
could count them there’s not enough time
C Am
So I’ll just
thank Him for being so kind
F G
God has been
good, so good
C - F - C
I have been
blessed
C Am
Arms I can
raise, a voice that can talk
F G
Hands that
can touch and legs that can walk
C Am
Ears that
can listen, eyes that can see
F G
Oh I’ve got
to praise Him as long as I breathe
C - F - C
I have been
blessed
C Am
A father and
mother who nurtured and raised
F G
Sisters and
brothers, memories made
C Am
Our pastor
to lead us, the alter to pray
F G
Stripes that
can heal, the blood that can save
C - F - C
I have been
blessed
CHORUS
(change key) D Bm
He’s my
shoulder to lean on when I am down

The rock
where He leads me, when I’m overwhelmed

The place
where He hides me, under His wings

He’s not
just a song, He’s the reason I sing
D - G - D
I have been
blessed
CHORUS:
D7 G A
I have been blessed God is so good to me
