KAPE PA?
___________

I read the news today that Filipinos still love to drink hot coffee amid the blazing summer heat. Meron silang na-interview na mga Construction Workers, sabi nila na mas gusto pa daw nilang magkape sa break time nila. Mas 'enjoy' daw ang pagkakape at parang matibay sa katawan kahit magconstruction sila.

And I don't blame them. Sabi nga nung sikat na meme,
"Pinoy kami, summer ka lang." sabay taas ng hawak na mainit na kape. Mahilig talaga tayong mga Pinoy sa kape kahit pa gano kainit ang panahon.

Nakakatuwang isipin that God allows us to still find enjoyment (drinking coffee) in the midst of our discomfort (init ng panahon).

I recently got sick due to the summer heat, and during my agony, (naks. haha.), napapatanong na talaga ako kung bakit inallow pa ni Lord ang Summer. Ayoko kase talaga sa mainit na panahon. But I know in my heart that God made all seasons for a reason.

Sabi nga sa Ecclesiastes, there is a time for everything.
And it's comforting to know that God understands my discomfort sa Season na ito. Alam Niya na hindi ako fan ng mainit na panahon, kaya praise God that He allowed humans to invent air-conditioning, cold waters, refrigerators, payong, sunscreen, beach, pools and etc, para maka-survive ako/tayo sa init ng panahon. At ma-enjoy ko naman ang summer season.

Tulad lang din ng ibang Season ng buhay natin..
May it be season of waiting, season of love, season of healing, etc.
We may experience discomfort, a lot.
But take heart, God understands you and your feelings.
And He promised that He is with you on each Season.

It's just comforting to know that God will make a way for us to enjoy the Season, whether Summer + coffee pa yan.. or Season of waiting + kdramas pa yan. Hehe.

Remind your heart that God made all seasons for a reason. :)

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." - Ecclesiastes 3:1
