Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well! ☺️❤️🙏
The other night, I had one of those random cravings that just wouldn’t go away. You know that feeling when you suddenly want something so much, and it stays on your mind until you finally give in? That’s exactly what happened to me. I wanted pizza and roasted chicken. 🤭
Instead of eating rice for dinner, I decided to treat myself and my sister to something different. I bought a half roasted chicken for ₱165 and a pizza for ₱95. Altogether, it cost ₱270 and just around $4.73 with today’s exchange rate. For less than $5, we enjoyed a simple but satisfying dinner. No rice that night, just pizza and chicken shared between the two of us.❤️
It may sound like an ordinary meal, but for me, it was more than just food. It was comfort, joy, and even gratitude wrapped in one. ❤️
Growing up, we could never afford things like this. Pizza was a luxury we only heard about, and roasted chicken was too expensive for us to even think of buying. Back then, we often couldn’t even meet our daily needs, so cravings were out of the question. I remember the times when we just ate what was available, no complaints, because that was life. 🙏
So now, as I sat there with my sister, eating pizza and lechon manok, I felt a wave of gratefulness in my heart. It may not be a grand dinner, but it was something I once could only dream of having. To me, this wasn’t just about satisfying a craving, it was a reminder of how far life has brought me.
It’s these little things that matter. Being able to buy what I want, even with a small budget, is already a blessing. I don’t take it for granted, because I know what it feels like to have nothing and to long for something you can’t have.
That night, my craving was fulfilled, my heart was full, and my soul was reminded to always be grateful for the past that shaped me, the present that I’m living now, and the simple joys that make life sweeter.
Above all, I thank God for blessing me with the ability to enjoy little things like this, because I know it’s His grace that allows me to experience joy even in life’s simplest moments. 🙏❤️
Have a Blessed Thursday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!
