WHEN THE TASTE GOES SOUR
It was a Saturday evening, entering the kitchen to prepare the
egwusi soup for her family, was indeed a tedious task for kate after the day's
hustle. Everything is ready: the stock-fish, fresh-fish, the vegetables and
other ingredients. Few minutes later, the soup is done and with the fufu she
bought from Mama Chikamso, she and her family were enjoying the nice soup and
she was called the best cook ever by her husband.
With enough fish and meat they had a nice dinner, indeed the
soup had a sweet taste.
The next morning, on entering her kitchen to boil the remaining
soup and prepare for church service, Kate noticed an odious smell emanating
from the side of her cupboard. Opening her pot of soup, she could not believe
her eyes, ‘God what is this?’ The soup with all the stock fish, meats and other
delicacies has gone sour!
Oh what a sorry pity! Possibly she failed to boil the soup very
well considering the hot weather and there is no light to lodge the soup inside
the freezer.
Chai, she was so sad and this incidence nearly stop her from
attending church service, but considering her position as the Sunday school
teacher, she needed to be in the church that morning.
Two things can be done to the soup: either you pour it away or
you boil it with sliced onion.
However, the taste has gone sour and can no longer be the same
again!
Life is indeed the same way, in spite of the stock-fish,
fresh-fish and much other sweetness it offers, can go sour someday! It is never
a bed of roses.
For better; for worst is not only in marriage but in life as a
whole. Whatever life offers: ministry, job, investment, love, friendship,
family, brotherhood, business, relationship, marriage and what have you, enjoy
it while it last ooo as it may not be sweet at all, time. The taste can go sour
tomorrow.
However, put on love, faith and hope and be consistent in
prayers, giving glory to God, that no matter the situation you find yourself
there is hope.
It shall be well!!
