Blessing Child





Blessing Child (18 Aug 2010)

It’s a beautiful sunny day with bright blue skies. Bit Bit happily wears her favourite black ribbon and gets ready for school. She is eager to meet her friends and teachers and wondering what she will learn today.

After a short wait, her school bus arrives. She greets everyone with a cheerful smile and takes the seat next to Mooie, a little mouse deer. Mooie is frustrated because her mother did not prepare her favourite sunny side up for breakfast. Bit Bit was thinking in her heart that it’s just breakfast and it’s not a big deal. Mooie get to have other choices for her breakfast.

The journey to school took longer than usual due to a massive jam caused by a car which has broken down. Everyone in the bus starts complaining. Bit Bit wonders why her friends are unhappy whereas she, on the other hand is excited as it would mean she has more time to enjoy the beautiful weather and to play with her friends on the bus.

When the bus finally arrived at school, Bit But happily rushes to her class. Sitting next to Bit Bit is Tommy. He starts complaining to Bit Bit that it is not a good day for him. Tommy did not sleep well last night and his daddy did not bring him for ice cream. Bit Bit does not understand why Tommy is upset as he can rest early tonight and have ice cream another day.

During the break, Bit Bit was really happy to see other classmates gathering and playing at the playground. Bit Bit quickly got on a swing and started swinging. With the wind gently blowing on her face as she climbs higher and higher, she realises that she is blessed with so many things in life. She starts counting her blessings from a good night sleep, great weather, many friends around to amazing lessons learned. She is blessed that she is able to start a new day with a smile. Then she realises that happiness can be easily achieved by just counting her blessings everyday …
