Food Is Life: Enjoying Simple Blessings 😊❤🙏

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well! 😊❤🙏

These past few days, I’ve been enjoying so many blessings, especially when it comes to food. Honestly, foods are really hard to resist! 😅 That’s probably one reason why I’m gaining weight now. But who could say no to delicious and free blessings, right? Food truly makes life happier, especially when shared with family. 😊

The next day after receiving the fruits from our kind neighbor, I finally ate the cacao fruit they gave me. It was my first time tasting that kind of fresh cacao fruit again after a long time. I was surprised because it tasted sweet and refreshing. Usually, when we think of cacao, we immediately think of chocolate, but the fruit itself also has a unique taste that is enjoyable. 😊

Since we still had a lot of tambis or rose apples left, I kept eating them the following day. I actually enjoyed dipping them in salt because it makes the taste even better for me. The combination of sweetness and a little salty flavor is very satisfying. Simple snacks like this remind me of childhood days when we used to eat fresh fruits straight from the backyard like the guava. 😊❤

Aside from the fruits, we also harvested a few sweet potatoes. There were only a few because my mother recently replanted new sweet potatoes. According to her, the old plants were no longer producing good-quality leaves, so it was time to replace them. Even though the harvest was small, I still appreciate it because it came from our own little garden. 😊

Then, of course, another great meal was prepared. We have the viands my parents got from fishing. Fresh seafood always tastes extra delicious for me because you know it came directly from the sea and from hard work. I really admire my parents because despite life’s challenges, they still find ways to provide food for the family. 😊❤

Here are the fresh catch they got for the day. Thankfully, it will serve as our food stocks for the next few meals. Seeing fresh foods at home gives me comfort because we don’t have to worry too much about what to eat for the coming days. 😊❤🙏

Later in the afternoon, while resting, I also enjoyed eating sunflower seeds. It has become one of my favorite snacks lately because it keeps me busy while relaxing. Sometimes simple moments like sitting quietly while eating snacks can already bring peace and happiness. 😊❤

Food is truly life indeed. 😊

These simple foods may not look fancy to others, but for me, they are already big blessings. Not everyone gets to eat fresh fruits, seafood, and homegrown vegetables every day. That’s why I always remind myself to be grateful no matter how simple the blessings are. 😊❤🙏

Life may not always be easy, but having food on the table, loving parents, kind neighbors, and peaceful moments already make life meaningful and beautiful. ❤😊🙏

Have a Blessed Friday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖

Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!

Be grateful in every little/simple things and you’ll find happiness you ever wanted! 😀😀😀

Everyday is worth to be grateful of!

Praying for the safety and wellness of all.

Heal Our Land Oh God!
