Week 52: Reflection

-

Hello there,😉 😮 

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 to you and yours.

How did celebrations go at your end?

Congratulations! You've seen the last Sunday of the year 2021!💃

In today's post, here's a message for you.

''When Zechariah’s week of service in the Temple was over, he returned home. Soon afterward his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and went into seclusion for five months. “How kind the Lord is!” she exclaimed. “He has taken away my disgrace of having no children.”

Luke 1:23‭-‬25 NLT

When was the last time you got away with God? Not to ask for anything but to savor what he has already done. Do you savor before you share or do you share it before you savor?

As the year winds down, create some time to reflect with God.

2021 has been a long year. 😪 


When you reflect, take out some time to count your blessings. 'Cause, indeed you've been blessed.

Here's a list of things you can include in gratitude: the ability to inhale and exhale freely, the ability to excrete, the ability to eat and look fresh even without a dime in our pockets, for safety on Nigerian highways, good health amidst covid, its variants, and omicron, ... 

Go ahead, reflect and ponder on the great things He has done.

As you do so, you prepare for 2022 in joy.

It's been a long time coming, but God has been judged faithful.

I hope you can let out the above-mentioned statement with me.

Profess it, if you must.


Song suggestion: Not just stories by MaryAnne J. George 

Until I re-emerge from under the rocks,

I have the pleasure to remain,

Faith, for the Royal Rubies.


P.S: thank you for the constant readership. Let me know in the comment section a word or catchphrase that you held onto as God saw you through each challenge.

    in whatever I pass through, two characters of God keep me: His Goodness and His Faithfulness. When I think of these, I find myself praising and thanking God, no matter the situation I am in. Also, I like to refer to Him as the GOD WHO SEES ME.

    God bless you for this piece. I guess I need to get to work - reflect and see and savour the goodness of God and His blessings on me.

    All my life, He has been faithful. All my life, He has been so so good; with every breath that I am able. I will sing of the goodness of God.

    In other words, this is Spiritual Stock taking of the faithfulness of God through the year. He's been so good.

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
