“AVAILABILITY,” a character trait awarded to Eunice Bethany when she was on K-5 during their Moving-up Ceremony last July 28, 2007 at The Master’s Academy Homeschool, Christ’s Commission Fellowship 3rd Flr. Auditorium, St. Francis Square Bldg, Mandaluyong City. Text was written and read by Mom. At TMA Homeschool we believe in honoring the parents as we received recognition on the same day for “surviving” the entire school year “unscathed.” We also believe in honoring our children for putting up with us, parents. Kidding aside, here’s a verse from the Bible that continues to inspire us to school at home where our classroom is the world:
“And He (Jesus) went down with them (His parents) and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Luke 2:51-52
We used to call Euy The Little Sparkle around the house because of her effervescent disposition. Being the only child for a time, she really brightened-up every dull spot in the house and kept everyone entertained each time she said something. It’ s really amazing that our “Little Sparkle”, with the coming of a baby boy last July 8, 2006, has transformed into becoming our “Big Helper Diva” around the house.
Euy has welcomed baby brother as a new member of the family with great anticipation. She was ready to become a big sister and friend to him. She has been an ever present hand-maid to Mom when it’s nappy changing time. She prepares milk for him (never-mind the little spills), assists during bath-time making sure puts away what was left and she can even be responsible in looking after him when Mom’s in the shower. She reads to him a lot, sweeps the floor without complaining, does the dishes, and buys “suka”, “toyo”, whathaveyou’s from the store across.
It’s really amazing that she willingly does all these on a daily basis and is getting better at doing them as days go by. Being such a Big Helper Diva, she exhudes a happy disposition that is contagious as she brings delight to us as her parents and we couldn't be more proud of her.
