I peeled oinions today!

If cooking is the yardstick for being a good guy, I will be on the list for rejects. Not that I don't know how to cook at all, but I just don't fancy kitchen. Hunger and duty force me to enter the culinary art room. Anyway, e no Kuku concern you.

This morning, while attempting to cook, As it's normal, I was peeling onions.
I peeled the first one and I was fine until I started the second and my eye revolted, while peeling it I felt pain and had to console my self with the taste I hope to get but something remarkable struck my mind. The first onion didn't cause me pain, the second did why was that?

The Holy Spirit reminded me of the following lessons:

1. The pain is not always an indication of quality or growth. Both onions were good even though one hurt more. Choose ideas and paths with less stress, but a good result. Not every successful endeavour has to be painful, find easier ways. ( Big Uncle Wale Ilesanmi -HimpressiveXpressions)

2. Onions that hurt the eyes give the same taste as those that don't. Pray for opportunities that don't come with tears. Pray for testimonies that don't come with I escaped others lost. (Rev. Yemisi Adebowale -IG&MM)

3. Onions that hurt, do that because they were planted in soils with acidic elements. I don't know how to explain this, but the blessing of God is good and adds to no sorrow with it. (Pastor Mensa Otabil - the parable of the onion)

4. Chopping onions can cause some burning and irritation and tears, Other than that, it's pretty safe on your eyes. It's a temporary sensation with no known long-term effects, nor will it worsen any other conditions. Not all painful process are permanent, you just have to wait some out.

5. I discovered google has ways of cutting onions that will not hurt the eyes. There are always alternative solutions if we do our research properly (Pastor Dayo Adefolahan - Mysteries revealed by the spirit)

6. On the external, onion irritates the eyes, but doctors say eating onions help the eyes nerves. The hurting process refines you to be a better and more wholesome person to be fit for platforms and fulfil purpose. (Pastor Abiola Salako Tarms Ilorin -the person, process, platform and purpose)

Happy Sunday!
