When the Gas Runs Out, Gratitude Still Flows ❤️🙏

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well! ☺️❤️🙏

Today, I want to share something very simple, yet very real in our everyday life here at home.

It’s honestly sad when you suddenly realize that the gas tank is already empty. You still have many things to cook, food to prepare, and daily routines to continue, but then the gas is already gone. That moment makes you think twice, because replacing a gas tank is not cheap. It’s another expense that needs to be prioritized, another amount of money to take out, even when there are already so many other needs waiting. 💪

When there’s no extra money yet, you really feel the weight of it. But in moments like this, I am reminded that God always provides in simple ways. We are truly grateful that we have an extra butane gas at home. It may look small, but it makes a big difference. Because of it, we can still cook, still prepare food, and still move forward even when the main gas tank is empty. ❤️

Sometimes, we don’t realize how important backups are until we actually need them. That butane gas became our lifesaver for the day. It reminded me that even in moments of lack, there is always something to be thankful for. ❤️🙏

Before the gas tank totally became empty, I was able to cook macaroni soup. It wasn’t for sale this time, it was purely for family. I decided to cook because some of the people at home were not feeling well. They had flu, colds, and cough. The weather has been changing a lot, and sickness easily spreads. 🙏

I wanted to prepare something warm, comforting, and filling. A kind of food that feels like a hug. So I cooked creamy macaroni soup, hoping it would help them feel better, even just a little. ❤️

Seeing my family enjoy the food I prepared truly made my heart happy. They liked it. We all ended up sweating while eating because it was hot and creamy, but that’s part of the comfort. It filled our stomachs and somehow eased the uncomfortable feeling of being sick. ❤️🙏

Moments like these remind me that happiness doesn’t always come from having everything complete. Sometimes, it comes from making the best out of what you have. Even when money is tight, even when resources are limited, love and care can still be served on the table. ❤️

I am grateful not just for the food, but for the chance to take care of my family, to cook for them, and to be present. These are the quiet blessings we often overlook. ❤️🙏

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!
