Special day

Tomorrow is an auspicious day. It is the sixth month and the seventh day in the Chinese calendar. It is called dian men cai ( the opening of heaven's gate ). A supposedly blessed person will see the holy trinity descend as the heavenly gates open in the morning tomorrow. This I learned from my late mother-in-law who was a believing buddhist. She used to offer flowers and fruits at her altar on this particular day because my husband Lucas was born in this auspicious Chinese date, so too was my son Roy. She said it was a blessing from heaven. It's my blessings too.
