Pizza, Frappe and the Thing Called Life

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."- 1 Corinthians 13:13

Nobody says life is going to be easy. Instead, we are being taught on how to deal with the different challenges we come across. In fact, a lot of philosophies and practices came out to help modern people as we face various stressors in our lives. Meditation is one, which helps you to silence your brain. Mindfulness is another practice to bring your mind into the present moment. The law of attraction or LOA conditions your mind to manifest what you really want in life. And there are so much more.

All of those principles are good. If you are practicing one or all of them, you can probably attest how powerful these are in honing your mental strength.

Another powerful practice is having a deep-rooted relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Silly as this may sound to non-believers but I'm stating a fact.

Jesus Christ promises Salvation and Eternal Life in Heaven. Nothing in this world comes close to that promise not even your handsome boyfriend who promises to cross the ocean and give you the entire world just to marry him. Love in this world is fleeting. It changes. But not the Love offered by the Lord Jesus to men that He died for our sins so we will not go to the lake of fire. Do you believe that? No wonder, some people who chose to believe that Love and who have built a strong relationship with the Lord also build a strong mental attitude.

Why would you be afraid or worried when God is with you, right? 

With Love, we can do amazing things even the hardest thing of all like forgiving an enemy.

However, be mindful that the bible teaches Love but it is discouraging us not to Love the world because the love of the Father is not there. See 1 John 2:15 of the bible. And He teaches us to Trust the Lord, that whatever we ask in prayer, we receive. These Christian teachings have some parallels in other religions like Buddhism

The belief of Jesus and the habits that go along with being spiritual aligns your thought that leads to a peaceful and happy life. Most spiritual people, and I mean not just Christ believers, who sometimes don't even have much of material wealth and yet you find them happier and feel that aura of peace that you can't simply find from other people. Wealth can sometimes be a baggage too.

So, what does it have to do with Pizza and Frappe? Well, that's because despite life's challenges--the pain of losing a loved one, the financial turmoil, the sadness, etc.--we get to enjoy life's simple bliss because we choose to. 

Instead of being swallowed by our sadness and pain, we dined out and swallowed the pizza and frappe with much gusto at Gustav. With delicious food laid on the table, life is good after all.

Burp!
