Nanay's Notes: Childhood, Children and Childlike Faith

Would love to hear from you! Send me a message.

Here's our Father's Day episode dedicated to Tatay Tot, my husband with special appreciation for Papa and Dad or Ama.

Daddies cannot always be there for us when we need them. They too get tired, get busy, get "promoted" to heaven. The comfort is this: our Heavenly Father will always be there. He is behind, beside, above, under, ahead of us! He is present everywhere, in your quietest, or noisiest place. You are never too far to be beyond His sight. There is no deep hole you fall into which is beyond His presence. 

Sharing a favorite childhood memory here. I look forward to hearing yours! It revives the childlike faith in us whenever we remember our simple joys and innocence. 

And as promised, I am reading an excerpt from the recently-launched "Love Letters from the Father For Healing" by Dr. Cynthia Quismundo. Come listen in. The child the Father is writing to, may be you!

Raffling off a free book! Please subscribe to this podcast, and send your favorite childhood memory to [email protected] and get a copy of "Love Letters from the Father for Healing". Let me know if I may share your favorite memory. Thank you!

My Independence Day episode is now up and running! Aside from something I wrote in Filipino, I am reading an article from the book "Love Letters from the Father for Women" by Dr. Cynthia Quismundo or Dr. Q. She's about ready to launch the newest book in the series "Love Letters from the Father For Healing" and I am looking forward to that on June 18, this Sunday.

Sibling rivalry. The term exists because it exists. But how about Sibling Chivalry? In this episode, I give you an account of how I have become a witness of this wonder. Happening in my very home. In my homes. As I grew up. And as my kids grow up.

Today is Independence Day in the Philippines! So together with an excerpt from the book "Love Letters from the Father for Women" by Dr. Cynthia Quismundo, I thought of reading something I wrote in Filipino. For the English translation, please click on this link: https://nanaysnotes.blogspot.com/

Just uploaded “Being vs. Doing” (A Bonus Episode)! Here’s a taste of the appetizer of the bigger meal of an upcoming episode of this podcast.

Have you been distracted, anxious, troubled, complaining, envious of your friend, your sister, your spouse, your younger self? Buti pa siya, di ba? 

Longing to pour out your worries to someone you can trust? 

If you can’t find the time to stop, and take a break, then that only means you really need to make time for it.

Was going to share some notes from my talk which was scheduled last Saturday, but the event "You're a TEArrific Mom" got rescheduled due to COVID cases and the anticipation of Supertyphoon Betty. Not wanting to preempt the message, I have for you this Bonus Episode on “Being vs. Doing” instead. It serves as an appetizer to the talk.

Two sisters named Mary and Martha are the stars of this episode. Were they trying to outshine each other? Who won in “the fight”? I hope you will enjoy this mini-staging of their story.

Are you one of those kids who would hide in the closet with your stash of keyndi  (candy) just so you won't have to share them? Are you a mommy who would lock yourself up in the bathroom just to take a break from all the bickering of the kids? I know someone who, every time she would come home late from school, would get locked out and could only find shelter under the bushes throughout the cold night. (I wish I could tell her story soon.) How many movies have we seen with young characters always going back to this special tree, or an abandoned building, or a roof, or the top of a hill overlooking the ocean just so they could have peace and quiet?

Revealing my own secret place in this episode was a joy, though melodramatic. I pray you'll always have a safe refuge to go to, for comfort, solace and respite.

Was it inside the big cabinet or on that special mango tree branch? It could be behind the piano or just under the desk of your dad, or the worktable of your mama. What was your secret place? Where is that hiding place? About to reveal mine soon.

The article I read in this episode is entitled "A Daughter's Choice", written 3 years before my Papa passed on. Choosing to love someone is hard, losing someone you love is harder 'cause when that time comes and he's gone, you're left with no choice.

Hope this piece encourages us to make wise choices while it's not too late.

Thank you again to CSMI, publisher of the book "Women on the Journey: Defining Moments" of which this article is a part of.
