I COOKED PASTA

I went home late last Wednesday due to the proposal that we are earnestly concluding. Without putting into mind my exhausted body and the books that I must read, I proceeded to pre-cook some pasta while having my dinner. After dinner, but still cooking pasta, I opted to prepare the other ingredients. Thank God I managed to browse my reading before eventually resigning to the promptings of my eyes.

Although I slept beyond what my alarm clock dictates, still I woke up with enough time to prepare food. In a very rare situation I suddenly prayed while cooking my so-called “blow-out”. I simply dedicated the task to the Lord and prayed for the people who will partake of the food. I ended up serving two types of pasta.

While sharing the food with my officemates, compliments and gratitude inundated the area. They were amazed on how I managed to prepare two types of pasta. They were delighted by the idea that I can cook. Some of them jokingly told me that I could now get married. With gratitude in my heart I receive all their reactions and I pray that they were blessed beyond the food that I have prepared for them.

After the food sharing, I felt joy inside. Indeed, it is greatest to serve God than anyone else. Also, in silence I know I was able to celebrate the birthday of my Nanay and former boss and mentor, at the same time it is a special celebration for my Lola, whom I really missed.
