Just enough for the day

"Give us this day our daily bread."

For this Mangyan boy, a roll is enough to call it a day. For him, he's holding a precious piece which he calls a 'blessing'. He pinches a tiny portion trying to share it with me. And he did give it to me!

I took this shot in a Mangyan school in Baco Oriental Mindoro, an adopted school of AdTrek Mountaineering Club. (Godbless AdTrek! ) I understand why God blesses some and challenges the others- each is an answered prayer. For whenever we receive, we become grateful to the giver - that we tend to also 'give' (even a portion of it) to demonstrate our appreciation... to the goodness of the giver.

Jesus Christ, the Giver of Life.
