Here is the full post:
“Akala ko nung bata ako mayayaman lang ang nakakapasok sa mga fast food chain.”
‘Yan ang nasabi ko kanina habang nag-uusap kami ng asawa ko at panganay naming anak.
Lumaki kasi ako sa hirap kaya hindi ko nakamulatan ang kumain sa mga restaurants o fast food chain.
Nakaka-emotional lang kapag naaalala ko kung gaano kami dumaan sa hirap.
Pumunta rin kami kanina sa Supermarket at naalala ko na, dati saktuhan lang ang dala naming pera kapag mamimili. Tipong tinitingnan ng mabuti ang presyo at kapag medyo mahal, hindi na namin binibili.
Nakakaiyak and at the same time nakakatuwa rin na kahit papaano ay naipaparanas na namin sa mga anak namin ang mga bagay na hindi namin naranasan dati.
Thank You, Lord. Dahil Sa’Yo lahat ito.”
