As I lay me down to sleep, I pray..

…that God will give my butt a hard kick so that I can wake up;

…that God will yell in my ears that the ringing tone from my handphone is not a lullaby but a wake up call;

….that God will protect and shelter all my kids and husband when they are away from me;

….that God will sooth my easily frayed nerves whenever I am driving and let me go ‘fudge fudge fudge sugar sugar sugar’ instead of what I intend to cuss whenever I am driving alone;

…that God will shower His Mercies on us so that I don’t need to bother about making money online because it is darn frustrating to see paid posts available but I am not free to ‘catch’ them;

….that God will slow me down and remind me not to be too paranoid about time, traffic jam, hot sun and annoying stuffs like that to delay me from picking my children;

…that God will somehow amuse the hyper active, attention deficit me with beautiful things that I enjoy;

…that God will be gentle with me because today is the beginning of a new phase in my life, a part where I haven’t toil for many years already.

…that God will clear the path like Moses parting the Red Sea because I am getting back to the crazy traffic of picking and dropping children and I will go insane or have road rage;

….that God will forgive me for not going for mass on a Sunday because I overslept.

Amen!
