I'm used to everyday stress and pressure not until its time for our lunch. I thought the food will lift and ease my mood...but gosh! its the same old everyday soak in oil tasteless dish! How I wish I can eat my favorite menu, sinigang na baboy or tortang talong or any pinoy food but not this one in my front!
"I hate it."
I thought to my self. It doesn't matter how stressful a day maybe but at least, give me some break. Everyday, this is the usual menu by our cook, how I wish I can fire him out! tasteless semi-cooked food bathing in oil.....and everyday I hate it.......not until God speaks! and His word was so loud that made me repent and be thankful.
I'm living in China and all CATV programs are aired in Chinese language...but not this day. No need to work overtime and so I opened the TV which I seldom do. As I switch the channels, I was stuck in this english program, its a war movie. Since its an english movie and I'm not busy, I continued watching.
As I watched, I know God is silently speaking to me. It was silent but very loud and clear. God is teaching me something, on all my complains and arguments. I never thought a life can be lived by the character in the movie and his life was far beyond than what I have now.
God spoke to me through the movie "The Pianist"
And his word will resound forever. To be thankful at all times, whatever the circumstances maybe, whatever problem we are facing, and whatever kind of food will be on our table.
