Little bites of gratitude

-

Hello,

Howdy do? Hope you still remember to inhale and exhale? 😊 

Today's post would require a moment of quiet introspection.


How often do you thank God for the seemingly little things he does?


The free air, the ability to move around, the ability to sleep🌙 tired and wake refreshed, to eat, to see 👀, for seen and unseen dangers he delivers us from, for numerous journey mercies, for fooooooood 🍣, to mention but a few.



Maverick City released a song titled Million Little Miracles which captured this. You should have a listen👂.

Here's a story,

I was meant to appear at work on Friday clad in African attire (Ankara). If you happen to know me well, you'd know I rarely wear these. However, as of Thursday, my attire was yet undone. By night while the dress was being completed, I had been hoping for the miraculous appearance of light so I can iron.

Well,

This is what God did... Immediately everything had been completed to fitting, the light💡 came. You can say I was in luck!

While gratitude oozed out of my mouth👄, I hastily ironed my dress.

Boom! Just like that, my attire👗 was ready. 

I slept so joyfully. 😁 


Also this week, Dr. Jess was appreciating God for an opening at her manicurist 💅. She hadn't booked before she arrived at the saloon but somehow, the lines fell for her in pleasant places. Someone called to delay her appointment.

You might wonder, why bother God with these little bits of informationℹ️? 


Here's good news, God loves❤️ you and wants a form of communication ☎️with him. Take your complaints, failings, victories, wish lists, and wants to him. He cares. He would offer a listening ear and soothe you.

This is a subtle reminder to involve God in every minute detail of your existence. You're inside his very thoughts.

Song suggestion: Million Little Miracles Maverick City x Elevation Worship.

Now let's go kick some ass,

👍👌

Faith, for the Royal Rubies.


P.S: Do well to share this post. Someone out there is wallowing in ingratitude because something just hasn't clicked.

God bless you.

    I once had haemorrhoid. Now I thank God whenever I get to use the toilet. It's funny how the everyday "little" miracles become significant once they cease.
    Thanks for this reminder❤️

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

Knowledge

A pleasant afternoon to you. How do you do? On today's post, knowledge is said to be appealing. Here's why... Sound knowledge is a venture not everyone is willing to invest in . Knowledge, they say is power, but what are you willing to pay for its acquisition? Everyone, or rather, majority of folks love to be associated with individuals who are vast and deep versed. However, we fail to make enquiries as to how such a feat was acquired. We would rather appreciate the outcome, than emulate the means. Recently, I confided in a friend my inability to prepare 'starch', a native meal of my motherland. He did well to remind me of the wealth of knowledge embedded in Google. Shamefacedly, I promised myself to look up the recipe for the meal. Don't ask if I have looked it up. How many opportunities to accumulate knowledge have we passed up? Or just when would you realize how powerful a person with knowledge, is? The means of acquiring knowledge is a process
