Spiritual Food


While reading this devotion, I felt I deserved a big slap from someone else. I thank God that he is merciful and gentle by showing me how an educator like I am should do and behave.


I can imagine other teachers who were put on duty during lunch breaks envied on others who were lucky and able to have their food breaks or to do whatever was required to do. In fact, I always neglected to spend time with the students during break times. Of course, I do have excuses to have my own food or to do some paper works during those times.


What I learned right now while reading this text was, I did not just neglected the physical relationship with my students and teachers, although sometimes I do but depending on the mood that I possessed, however, God once again brought me to emphasis of "spiritual" food.


To be honest, I always speed pray my table prayers just for the sake to indulge and satisfy the hunger of my stomach. I never thought to extend or to ponder the source of spiritual food.


Perhaps, starting from today, when I eat, I remember my spiritual food, the importance of connecting with God and helping others to connect to him. I did many, but it was not required. 

Sorry to bored ya, Pete, but you have to listen to me anyway! :P
