"Thank you Lord." This is what my daughter would usually say whenever she receives little presents from me and others. This is what I would like to say now for the lesson I recently learned from life.
I learned that God is the only one I can turn to whether I feel joyful or melancholic. I have met a man old enough to be my father, I have trusted him and helped him make our department successful. He had shown his appreciation of that by giving gifts; however, it seemed the actions were no longer based on appreciation but romantic love.
AT first I was at denial of the motivation, later on my theory was confirmed because of several instances that gave him away. The funny thing is he thought I feel the same way. At one point I thought, too I am falling for him. But when i clear my thoughts I am certain I dont love him in that direction. I just cant tell him I dont like how things are going on. Because he is not going towards and beyond the limit, I have allowed him to believe what he wanted to believe by not affirming nor denying him. But I can tell you how difficult it is to deal with a man who is fooling himself. Despite of this, I never abused him by asking favor like money and the like. I respect and love the man in the way that is not romantic. He is a good man, respected in our group. I just dont know what happened to him and fell in love with me. My not abusing him may be one of the factors...
I thank God because despite of what this man feels which he openly tells and shows me, His behavior towards me and actuations are still in check, I thank God that I am still safe. I thank Him for this experience because this made me show to my husband, a special someone closer to my age  , how much I love him. Of course he does not know about what I am going through but I am certain he appreciates the security of having all my love for him.
I thank God because through this experience, I realized that no matter how good a person is, this person is still human. And as a human, he is prone to commit mistakes, and that I should give him space to realize on his own ( through God's help) what he is doing .
I used to go to people to help me find solutions to my problems. This man is number one on that list. This experience taught me to make GOD number ONE and from Him seek guidance and peace.
