EAT ALL YOU
CAN
One day,
when I was still in Davao City, I happen to ate at a restaurant with “eat all you
can” banquet. When I enter the eatery, I followed what other customers are
doing, since it was my first time. I realized that in this kind of banquet self
service is being observed. You will be the one to get your food. You can get
everything, viand, rice, desserts and drinks, as long as you can consume it. It
was a very nice system since; you will really feel that you are at home.
Greetings!
My dear
friends, the grace of God are like “eat you can” dinner. The grace of God is
just around us just “eat all you can”. In our Gospel today Jesus feed 5000 men
not including women and children meaning to say there are more than 5000 people.
It does not only say like that since, there are 12 baskets left in the banquet.
The remaining 12 baskets convey that there are lots of foods available. This may
mean that the graces that we have received everyday of our life are really abundant.
In life, we
received loads of graces. The basic example for this is our life, the air we
breathe every day, the food we take daily, friends who care for us, our
families, and our neighbors are God’s given graces. These graces are just like “eat
all you can” banquet, unlimited and without any expense. Remember that these
unlimited graces do not only feed our stomach but also to our soul.
Since, we
have received these graces in our life without any expense; it is also fitting
for us to give thanks to the giver. This is our only expression as a response
to the giver of the gifts.
One way of
giving thanks to the giver is to share these graces to other people. Share what
you have received. Invite and let other people know that you have been enjoying
the “eat all you can” graces of God.
But
sometimes in our life, we feel that we have been forsaken. It seems that there
are empty spaces that need to fill up. There are difficulties that need to
settle. If you will feel this way just approach God and ask Him to “eat all you
can” to his graces. I am pretty sure that he will always give what you need. Our
gospel reminds us today that God provides everything we need. Let us be conscious
about it. Let us be aware of the things we have received from God. God provides
us everything and it is also fitting to give him in return.
Karon gihagit
kita sa Ginoo: unsa man ang imong mahatag sa Dios isip balos sa iyang
pagkamanggihatagon? Unsa man ang imong ikatampo alang sa kalambuan sa iyang
katawhan?
Friendly reminder:
graces are just everywhere, just “eat all you can”.
