Zomwe ndidaphunzira pachaka chosala kudya
"Mulungu, zikomo chifukwa cha chakudya chomwe mumapereka mukapezeka chakudya ..."
Lachitatu Lachitatu, pa Marichi 6, 2019, ndidayamba kusala kudya komwe kamodzi pa sabata ndimasala kudya chilichonse kupatula madzi kuchokera pachakudya chimodzi patsiku linalake kupita ku chakudya chomwecho tsiku lotsatira. Izi zidafika pachimake kwa maola 60 kuchokera ku Holy Lachinayi madzulo mpaka Isitara m'mawa chaka chino. M'mbuyomu, ndimakhala ndikusala kudya maola 24-36, koma ndinali ndisanachitepo sabata iliyonse kwa miyezi ingapo. Lingaliro lochita izi silinali kuyankha chochitika china chofunikira kwambiri m'moyo wanga kapena kufuna kudziwa zina ndi zina kapena chisomo; zimangowoneka ngati zomwe Mulungu adandifunsa. Sindinadziwe kuti likhala chaka chotanganidwa kwambiri m'moyo wanga.
Komabe zilizonse zomwe zinali kuchitika, sabata iliyonse ndimapezeka kuti ndikubwerera m'mapemphero osavuta omwe amayamba ndikumaliza pafupifupi zonse. "Mulungu, tikuthokoza chifukwa chakudya chomwe mumandipatsa ndikakhala kuti kulibe chakudya, ndikuthokoza chifukwa cha chakudya chomwe mumandipatsa." Zosavuta m'mawu ndi nthawi, idakhala mawu omwe adawonetsa poyambira ndi kutha kwa masiku 60 opanda chakudya.
Pansipa pali zolemba zomwe ndalemba mu diary yanga yosala yomwe idatsimikiza za mauthenga omwe amadzibwereza okha, zomwe zimawoneka kuti zikuphatikiza zomwe ndikanayenera kuphunzira pa kafukufukuyu. Kulowa komaliza kumatsimikizira nkhani yanga komanso kuvomerezedwa moona mtima komanso kochititsa manyazi komwe kunandibweretsera.
Madalitsidwe azakudya amalemedwa mosavuta ndi kufunika kwake. Ngakhale tonse tili ndi kuthekera kugwiritsa ntchito chakudya ngati mankhwala osagwiritsidwa ntchito bwino komanso m'malo mwa Mulungu, ndizodziwikiratu (koma ndikuyenera kukumbukira) kuti mphatso yazakudya ndizoposa zopangidwa ndi calorie zomwe zimapangidwira kuti zikhale zopanda kanthu kwakuthupi (ngakhale ngati apongozi anga atha kukangana motsutsana). Chakudya ndi zakumwa zimabwera kwa ife mphindi zakukondwerera, nthawi zakusangalala, nthawi zosatsimikizika, nthawi zosinkhasinkha komanso munthawi yakukhumudwitsidwa koona. Chiyambire nthawi, kugwiritsa ntchito komwe kumapangitsa machitidwe onse a thupi ndi malingaliro athu kudzazitsanso miyoyo yathu. Kunena kuti ndi gawo la moyo wa anthu ndiye chiphokoso [chokha] chokha.
Ngakhale kuti kusala kudya kwamtunduwu kumakhazikitsa chikondwerero cha chakudya chonsechi, kumathandizanso pakufunika kofunika kwambiri. Palibe cholakwika ndi kufunafuna chakudya kapena zosangalatsa zina zabwino mukafuna kuoneka panokha nthawi yomweyo. Koma ndikudalira pa izi, ndikudziyimira pawokha kwa Iye munthawi zino, zomwe ndinganene kuti zikuthandizira izi mwachangu. Nditha kulingalira kuti mphatso ya Mulungu imapereka chiwonetsero cha Iye, ndipo pa izi nditha kuyima pamalo olimba. Koma sindinganene kuti ndi cholowa m'malo olingana kapena kuthekera kwofananira. Chifukwa ngati nthawi yakukondwererayi, zosowa zanga nthawi zonse zimafunafuna kaye popanda kumverera ngati ndasiya chisangalalo pompopompo, ndiye kuti ndizindikira kuti chomwe ndimafuna ndi ubale womwe chakudya sichingathe kupereka, koma Kodi Mkate Wamoyo ndi chiyani? Ndikukhulupirira kukhala ndi mwayi wokhala ndi moyo wabwino pomwe chakudya chabwino chimapezeka nthawi zonse, makamaka chikadzaza ndipo mukumva bwino. Koma koposa apo, ndikukhulupirira kuti idali mphatso yapamwamba kwambiri yomwe singalowe m'malo mwa chikondi chomwe ingapereke.
[Phunziro la kusala kudya] limaphatikizapo chovuta chomwe sichitha mu ntchito yomwe anthu amaganiza. Pansi pa nsembe yolapa, pansi pa mtima wofuna kuwona zomwe zili kupitirira zokondweretsa za tsiku wamba, zovuta zimawoneka ngati zauzimu, koma ndizosavuta mwachilengedwe. Zovuta zomwe ndikupitilizabe kumva sizakuti nditha kuthandizira kudzipereka uku chaka chakusala, koma kuti nditha kukhala wokondwa pochita izi. Monga momwe Yesu ananenera kuti siafanana ndi Afarisi omwe akubuula pang'onopang'ono pa zopereka zawo zachipembedzo, inenso ndimakhala wovuta kuti ndilingalire komwe ndingapeze chisangalalo ndikatha chakudya, koma koposa zonse, momwe zingakhalire zomveka chisangalalo chachikulu pamene kusala kukuchitika. Chilango ndi mtima wa chikhulupiriro chathu, koma kulangidwa kopanda chisangalalo kumawoneka kuti kukuphwanya mfundo. Ndipo, izi, zovuta izi zimakula ngakhale chikondwerero changa chikula.
Patha sabata kapena kupitirira. Sabata yatha, pafupifupi ola limodzi kuchokera tsiku la Chikumbutso litayamba, agogo athu okondedwa a Schroeder anamwalira ali ndi zaka 86. Monga wakale wankhondo waku Korea, tidaganiza kuti kunali koyenera "kukangamira" mpaka lero mantha angapo am'mbuyomu omwe akanatha kupha iye [kale]. Koma monga moyo wake, adalimbikira mpaka thupi lake limawalola. Adakhala moyo wosadabwitsa ndipo gawo la zomwe zidamupangitsa kukhala wopepuka ndi zomwe adapitilira. Monga ndidazindikira pomutamandira, pakati pa maphunziro achikondi, kudzipereka, kukhulupirika ndi kutsimikiza, adandiphunzitsa zinthu ziwiri: moyo ndi wosangalatsa komanso moyo ndi wovuta, ndipo palibe kupatula. Monga mdzukulu wanga wamkulu, ndakhala ndikukumana naye zaka zoposa 2 zomwe zandisiya ine ndi banja lathu ndili ndi chidziwitso chodabwitsa cha chikondi. Tidatsanzikana pa Juni 40 pomwe adayikidwa m'manda ndi oyang'anira asirikali kumanda a St. Joseph, pafupifupi mtunda wamakilomita kuchokera komwe iye ndi agogo anga amakhala nthawi yayitali zaka 5 limodzi.
Lero m'mawa, pamene kusala kwanga kudayamba, ndidadzipeza ndimalingalira kwambiri za iye ndi amzake. Chinali chikondwerero cha 75 cha D-Day ndipo padziko lonse lapansi anthu adakondwerera nsembe yodabwitsa yopangidwa ndi anyamata ambiri kuti asunge ufulu wadziko lino ndi mayiko ena padziko lapansi. Kuyambira pomwe agogo anali atadutsa, sindingathe kuganiza za kusiyana kwakukuru pakati pa dziko lomwe ndidakula ndi zomwe anali nazo. Pamene iye ndi abale ake sanagwirizane ndi Navy kuchokera ku sekondale, anatero koma osatsimikiza kuti akawatenga kuti. Kukulira mu banja logwira ntchito losauka, adaphunzira kuti chakudya chilichonse chimafunikira kulimbikira ndipo chitsimikiziro chokha chinali chakuti kuti apulumuke, ntchitoyi idayenera kupitiliza. Zaka makumi asanu ndi atatu pambuyo pake, ana anga samadziwa tanthauzo lake.
Pamene kusala kudya kumapitilira, ndinapeza ndikuwerenga zipsera ndi nkhani za Ernie Pyle, mtolankhani wodziwika wankhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse amene adalemba moona mtima za zoopsa za nkhondoyi kuti athetse nkhondo zonse. Ndi malingaliro oyang'ana pa D-Day, adalankhula za kuyenda pamtunda pambuyo pa kuukira komwe kunachitika nkhondo yankhondo. Madzi osefukira atayamba kugunda, ambiri omwe sanathe kumira, kulimba mtima kowonetsedwa kunangokulitsidwa ndi nkhanza zake zokha. Powona zithunzi za amuna awa pamene akukonzekera kulowa nsagwada zaimfa, sindinatha kudzipulumutsa koma kudzipenya ndekha mwa iwo. Nkhope zosiyanasiyana za zokumana nazo zosiyanasiyana zimakodwa m'mano a mikanganoyi yayikulu; Ndinkadzifunsa kuti nditani. Ngakhale ndikadapulumuka, ndikadatani ndi zoopsa za tsikulo zaka ndi zaka zikubwerazi? Kunyada mkati mwanga kumakonda kunena kuti ndikanapitiliza ndi nyonga; chowonadi ndichakuti ndine wokondwa chabe kuti sindinadziwe; wamantha mwa ine akuti zimandichititsa mantha kuganiza kuti ndili komwe amuna awa adapita.
