Happy children's day!!!!

I woke up this morning full of life and happy and I really could not explain why, then I remembered that today is children's day by the continuous jingles and songs coming from the TV.

At about 1pm, I decided to go give myself a treat and was taken aback  by the number of children I found at the fast food I visited. After much "excuse me" i was able to find a space at the extreme of the place and I fed my eyes for some time.

Oh my! Children would always be children. I laughed , giggle and almost jumped out of my seat at their activities. Parents making sure their children had fun were seen everywhere while a school brought some students and gave them a treat.

I was quite impressed at steps taken by parents and guardians to ensure their children had a special day. The management of the place gave out free snacks and Ice cream to any child that came to the place. A lot of less privileged children had free ice cream and snacks and you can see them in their numbers expentant and very happy. Am sure most of them have not had such opportunities before to enter this fast food .

Also, an artist by a corner was giving the children beautiful shapes on their faces to mark the day, while some were busy watching cartoons. It was quite a site to behold as children from different religions came to enjoy themselves.

These and much more are what we as individuals are supposed to do to ensure our children are happy especially on a day set aside for them. We need to keep protecting them from the visititude of life. Shield them from crime, violence and child abuse and show them much love.

We need these children to grow into responsible adults who would be able to take over from the next generation . We need them intact. So let's protect and pray for our children.

Happy children's day.

Don't give up

Have you sat down and thought why people think without them you won't survive. Well I know a lot of people who have given up on life because someone out there you once trusted disappointed you. Some have even thrown in the towel believing there is no way out.

My question to them is have you forgotten when the bible said "do not put your trust in man or princes but in God". Well I don't think the writer of that portion in the bible made a mistake.

God most times uses men to bless other man but when he sees the glory due to him is being diverted,he steps in because he is too jealous a God to share his glory with man. Never for once think your life has ended when that person failed you or threw you out to no where. If the birds of the air don't struggle to eat and survive and the flowers we see today and tomorrow is withered, is clothed in beautiful colours don't struggle to be, do you think God would not make a way for you.

The scriptures said he would cause waters to flow in your desert. No matter what represent "a desert" around you, he would always make a way.

So dearest, don't give up, help is on the way just look up to God.

Would it get better?

A young man asked me how he can add extra cash to his account as he is new to the town. I read a story out to him and concluded by saying the answers you seek are everywhere and he responded with the word www.smart.com I could not help but laugh.

In this era of economic down time, increase in fuel price, scarcity of tomatoes, incesant killings by herds men and other menance plunging the economy, one has to stop and take a critical look at all that is happening. A lot of people are groaning to the struggling pains they feel. But the truth be told, no matter how much we complain, our economy can not be any better than it is. We just need to adjust and believe God to provide enough for us to live above it. So dear friends, are you wondering when would all this "sufferings" end or when would the country get better? Well I have news for you, it would only get worse by the day so you need to constantly tell your self that and tune to God almighty to grant you the enabling capacity to overcome whatever obstacles the economy throws at you because that's the only way out.
