“A Mother’s Love”

I sat down today and reminisced on all the things that my mum had done in my short stay in life.I struggled so hard to hold back the tears ,my mother has been wonderful.

For me, she was saddled with the enormous and nerve wrecking responsibility of being 2 parents rolled in 1,despite all odds she held sway.My mother is one of the strongest and resilient human i have come across.

I pray and oh i pray so dearly that i am able to pay back at least to the capacity of bringing smiles to her face as many times as can.Mothers represent God on earth, they are sensitive to our

 

“The Irrevocable Law”

“Train up a child in the way he should go,Even when he is old he will not depart from it. “…….. Proverbs 22 vs 6

When God used Moses to write certain words of wisdom, HE  was really convinced the world would eventually need them.Today the world is a typical cynosure of all the things the good book had warned about in time past.

Before our very eyes the world has dis-integrated into what could be best described as a mad house.This mad house is what houses you and i ,generations gone past, present generation and the generation yet unborn.

 

The perfect Guest

Do you know the perfect guest ?

This perfect guest comes visiting our homes, our offices, our streets and everywhere we tread.We are always too busy to notice ,we even barely recognize this guest that we are supposed to treat with utmost royalty and prepare a feast befitting of royalty.I came across this story that touched my heart so…….

Ruth went to her mail box and there was only one letter. She picked it up and looked at it before opening, but then she looked at the envelope again. There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and address.

She read the letter:

 

The Journey

The first step of our lives begins the journey into the unknown. A toddler struggles to get on his feet; he/she struggles to be independent, to venture into uncertainties oblivious of what those very steps could bring. There’s sometimes a smile and sometimes a loud shout of crying when there’s is a misstep .

Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges.

Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take. In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don’t realize that at the time.

 

Why Worry?

“When I look back on all these worries I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which never happened.”…..Winston Churchill

More often than not we worry, we worry about what we will eat, wear and even what other people think about us. Every human being has unconsciously programmed his/herself to worry about the past, the present and the future, most of which we do not have authority over, why then do we worry?

An author describes two days that we should not worry he says

 

What would you do?

Yesterday was a long day for me; I had been about my business so as to attain near 100 % efficiency. I had so many things to do, so many people to see that by the end of the end day I was tired. All I wanted to do was settle down grab something to eat and rest my body and nerves, when I heard one incredible story that got me thinking and wondering what I would do if I was the one to be in that very tangled situation.

While trying to really analyze the situation and trying to be as unbiased as possible, I still couldn’t figure out what I would do if the tables were turned and i was the principal actor in this story I

 

Do you have a Friend ?

What does the word friendship mean to you?

How do you feel when around your friends?

Do you have friends?

My dictionary explains friendship as being in a state of friendly disposition/feeling….alas,the word friendship still comes up in the definition of the word.For me i could well describe friendship as that inestimable jewel of association that will always remain by your side through thick and thin.

Do i have friends? sure i do have friends but one thing i do not do is just pick up friends.

 

Gratitude

Have you said your thank yous today?

Have you bothered to give back to your creator?

Have you bothered to thank HIM for the eyes to see?….

 

Have you stopped?

Once upon a time, a farmer named Emmanuel just bought an old mule. One day,the mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule ‘braying’–or whatever mules do when they fall into wells.

After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving.

Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened…and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

 

Stress Reliever 101

Pray

Go to bed on time.

Get up early so you can start the day unrushed.

Say No, to projects that won’t fit into your time
schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

Delegate tasks to capable others.

Simplify and unclutter your life.

Less is more. (Although one is often not enough,
two are often too many.)

Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.

Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and
difficult projects over time; don’t lump the hard
things all together.

Take one day at a time.

Separate worries from concerns. If a situation
is a concern, find out what God would have you
to do and let go of the anxiety. If you can’t do
anything about a situation, forget it.

Live within your budget; don’t use credit cards
for ordinary purchases.

Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet,
an extra house key buried in the garden, etc.

K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut.) This single piece of
advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
