From January to December

Image
From January to January, we've heard intriguing news of the jingles in our smiles. From January to February, we've heard frivolous tales of our begging state. From January to March, we've matched the transitional tricks of our Master's shadows. From January to April, we've argued our approaches to advance the averse averages in our areas. From January to May, we've marveled at God's marvelous mercies on our merciless murky moves. From January to June, we juggled and survived the trauma of needless perennial junctions of survival. From January to July, we've judged the jumpstart in our journey of jogging with our limping economy and the possibility of accessing the b itter I MF's relief. From January to August, we've adjusted the distasteful grief in our creed of greed which still bleeds the blessings in our nation. From January to September, we've stepped and stumbled on the sages and stems of a sticky flood that stoked ou

The Mile of May

Image
With meek evenings like this one, We may recall Marvelous moments of the month; We may reminisce Miraculous things in our minds; Or we may still remember the Mournful missives of a matriarch mother. When May moves into the market of months, Many mimic the music of some musicians, To make merry of our Mothers, who mothered us, And to mint the gratitude of the multitude. Yet in the mile of May, we met many May markers; While minimizing the major noise machines in May. But in between the mild makeshift moments of May; And between the modest margins of our measures; The main market maneuvers in May were marked. Maybe it's not just a month of methods; Maybe it's not just a matter of miles; Maybe it's not just a member's memory. Maybe we should mark our Maker's magnanimity, By mirroring the magnificence of this memorable May. With these many millions of marching minutes, I trust you had a memorable May. May it be well with you and your famil

Gratitude to Our Mothers

Image
To our distinguished and dearest Moms, To our first teachers and ever-present counselors, To our consistent charismatic and prayerful partners, To our wonderful mothers who transitioned too soon, To our mothers who transmitted lasting values to us, To our mothers who never gave up on us and still find a reason to encourage us, To our mothers who stepped into our father's role, And to our fighting partners who disciplined and offered useful criticism to improve our lives. To the timeless memories of the unique moments locked in the confines of our tender hearts, How can we forget to celebrate and THANK our Mothers enough?  For all the countless moments we shared; For all the care and attention you gave us; and For all the sumptuous meals you cooked for us; For your sense of urgency and concern for us; For your dutiful roles, we salute and celebrate you. We are grateful for your role, your deeds, and your immeasurable contribution to our growth. Thank you

Sometime in April

Image
Sometime in April, we activated love. Sometime in April, we anticipated quality rains. Sometime in April, we recharged our hopes. Sometime in April, we invoked the mores of Care. Sometime in April, we remembered our resolutions, with Easterly and Eidly feasts of new beginnings. Sometime in April, we revisited the report of our earth's future even as we reflect on the dangers of our waterbodies. Sometime in April, we questioned the essence of our liberty. Yes, it was in April we reassessed the Alpha approach, Yes, it was in April we remembered Afrika's invocation. Yes, it was in April the guns in Sundan just like the unending Russia Ukraine conflict started. And Yes, it was in April we recounted the blessings of the Most High despite our many Afflictions. Oh! Yes! Some time! Yes! Sometime in April, we remembered our duty to still render GRATITUDE to the benevolent God who blessed us with this month. Sending you warm Sunday blessings. Greetings ©KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ

In the 100th Day

All too soon, the 100th day of January is here. With mixed feelings and mixed blessings, we live. There were difficult goodbyes we said in the sunshine and sunsets of this month.  But with sentiments of the new beginnings, our GRATITUDE to the Most High still stands.  And with convincing clarity be assured that IT'S WELL. So wherever YOU are, however you FEEL, whatever your STORY may be, know that YOU'RE not ALONE. Sending you thoughts of affection and best wishes to YOU and all your LOVED ones. Thanks for being there. May your day be blessed with abundance. Good morning ๐Ÿ’ž. ©KYB✍๐Ÿฟ31/01/23

Gratitude in our Attitude

Image
It is sobering to realise how people affect  lives. And like Albert Einstein we must realise that we are what we are based on the labours of others who may be living or dead. We are therefore indebted to our parents for bringing us into the world. We are indebted to the Traditional Birth Attendants, Herbalists, Nurses, Doctors orderlies, aids among others who played a critical part in making our arrival here safe. We are also in debted to all our parents, friends, teachers, priests, imams, and other mentors who taught, intructed, inspired and helped us understand certain qualities of strong character and about the essence of life. The list is endless but the intent to acknowledge the most high and people for being what they were or are to us the better it is for us to serve each other and be good to others. Stay blessed.

With Gratitude

Image
For the nights that turned into mornings,  For the friends who are now family,  For the dreams that turned into reality, For the challenges that turned into blessings, For detours that turned in opportunities for growth, For the terrible news, that turned into good news, The Author of life deserves, gratitude. Be blessed abundantly.  Greetings  ©KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ14/12/2020

Be Grateful for Every Day

Image
Be grateful for everything in life. Be thankful for the people in your life. Be appreciative of the little things in life.  Sometimes the people in your spaces are rare to come. Some opportunities are hard to come by again. Other times precious moments are missed. Somehow we learn from our mistakes to improve upon our lives. A time comes for us to climb up and to climb down. Life in this phases, presents us with opportunities to be served and to serve others. As no position or circumstances us permanent, maybe we should be mindful of how we discharge our duties.  Maybe we should be interested in how we would like to be treated and learn how to treat others. Maybe we should be generous with our gratitude and never take the gift of a day or a helping hand for granted. In a realistic sense we owe it duty to be grateful for the gift of every day. Remain blessed as always. Greetings ©KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ22/11/20

NOTE OF GRATITUDE

Your prayers, kind wishes, calls, and messages helped made this Day of Remembrance a memorable one. Since mine is a people's story weaved together by your efforts and deeds, I cannot but pray Yahweh to richly bless you. Gratitude is indeed not enough to express my appreciation to the Most High for the gift of life and for your support on this pilgrimage. I appreciate the special roles you played from time to time that helped me come this far. Thank you for being part of this wondrous journey. Thank you for remembering this young boy. Be blessed abundantly. Thank you.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ Sincerely me. ©KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ11/11/19

Novena at Noon

Proper names of nouns nailed necessary Notes, On Notices of news in Natures' Newspapers, But when the nine neurons neared the noon sea, It cast a long nostalgic naughty net on the November sky again . And again a novena at noon sang the never ending notes of gratitude to all. So this novena remembers the tenacity of souls on arrival on this pilgrimage. It remembers the delight in the names of infants. It remembers the many dribbling stories of days. The noon novena was peaceful and beautiful. It was a serene and yet shrouded in mystery. It was a mix blessing conditions pieced together with many anecdotes of different disciplines. The novel novena captures the rough sails under the patronage of many captains. Their drills of discipline paid off in a many ways. So today if we have survived the vagaries of the weather; If we can still live the love of yesteryear, With little or no supervision to climb high, Then those involved in these engagements,  deserve our due re

A Grain of Gratitude

There are those who were here before us. There are those people on whose shoulders we climbed on or ride on to look into the future. It's possible we still walk under the shadow of their magnanimity or effect. Today, I remember in a special way our parents, grandparents, the traditional birth attendants, midwives, and everyone who ensured our safe arrival here. Can we recall our aunties, uncles, siblings, and neighbours or anyone who supported our parents to care for us when we were kids? Can we also recount the experiences we had with our teachers, mentors, and those who even went the extra mile for us? To the various caregivers and everyone who spotted the qualities in us and decided to support in a way, you are not forgotten. In the spaces of our linkages expressed in the dynamic ships of our bonds and in our various communities, the individuals involved deserve our gratitude. To those silent special individuals, (often known and unknown to us), who constantly pray for u

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

Image
When being alive means more to you than personal security; When love is more than money and the blissful cheers; When your freedom is more than ethnic or partisan allegiance; When being alive means listening to the natural rhythms of nature which breathes through your life; When your thinking is in harmony with your feelings; When you are guided by the worthy thoughts of great sages and the good Holy Spirit; When you're at peace with yourself, and able to conquer the conflicting urges within; When you're able to disarm those mischievous tendencies and sack the temptation to cheer the misfortune of your perceived enemies; When you pay particular attention to the silent needs of your soul and those of others; When truth inspire you to live, repel and dispel negative shades; When you are able to communicate and connect to the very core of our humanity; When you're able to look beyond your shortcomings, challenges and unique difficulties, and appreciate God for

Acknowledgement

Your effort might not always be recognised in a day. Your success might seem you've had a rosy sail in life. And the vile critics and gossips may only be interested in exploiting your weaknesses, little mistakes or principled position. But in all this, please remain calm and relax with the evening tide. In fact, this is to just celebrate your contribution to human progress and acknowledge all your sacrifices. Thank you in a special way for your daily effort to live. Take care. Good evening ๐ŸŒš #KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ®#

GOOD FOCUS

As sojourners on this earth, we are reminded daily of our eternal duty to live meaningful lives. To do this, we are required to be attentive to what we do and be ever mindful of our eternal goal. In your dealings this day, and while conferring with your life manual, please be focused on the ultimate expression of life, which is simplified in your duty to love and care. With the gift of each day, may we receive with gratitude God's blessings for us this day. And in the count of every second, please tell God of our appreciation. To the Most High God, let our lips never cease proclaiming His praise. May your day be blessed and do have a great day. TGIF. Good morning to you #KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ®#

TEACHERS' SALUTATION

For no tangible reason that Wednesday, the lazy side in me felt school was boring and so yours sincerely just decided not to go. The plea and persuasion by my first teacher to go to school fell on deaf ears. So she surprised me, by giving me some tolerable spanks that got me going. There were several of those morning laziness that was properly dealt with then, and my gratitude to the teacher is eternal. The sense of responsibility, discipline, respect and care these teachers taught us is commendable. There are teachers we encounter daily, through many instances, and at different places and stages of our lives. God the Almighty as the greatest teacher Himself has through nature and Providence taught us many things. He has also inspired and qualified teachers in our lives. Some are our Teachers, Tutors, Masters, Lectures, Catechists, Godmothers, Godfathers,  Supervisors, Colleagues, Subordinates, Parents, Prophets, Preachers, Mentors, Authors and almost everyone. The encounter wit

GIVE THANKS & PRAISES

Our help is in the name of God who created heaven and earth. Our hope is in the Lord who has brought us this far. Through thick and thin, and through the vagaries of the weather, the tender grace of God still abound.   Rendering our thanksgiving to the Most High for His eternal care, is very appropriate. Singing our gratitude songs to the Almighty is a vital acknowledgment of His magnanimity. Give thanks and praise in ceaseless strings to the good Lord who journeys with us on this walk. May His guiding wings continue to shield us from harm even as He increase our worth and value. May He light our path, inspire us to trust Him more and help us appreciate His goodness to humanity. Have a pleasant evening. ๐ŸŒš๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿผ #KYB✍๐Ÿฟ®#

GOD'S GOOD

A new day indicates His beautiful signature, while the little details of daylight showcases His awesomeness. From the tricky and unavoidable traps of our sleep, He still ensures we wake up with renewed energy. What can we say about this Supreme Deity, who still dares to care, even with our limitations. With each new day, we somehow know the Sun will rise and follow a particular order. We're assured of the order in nature which we rely on to plan. Sometimes, we don't even know how we get to know what we know and what really happens in our sleep and in the depth of the night. But the naked truth is that, there's a Creator behind this creation, who's invisible attributes are eternal. His power and divinity, we all cannot comprehend. In fact, it's not enough to just acknowledge this truth but to revere Him and preserve His creation as grateful creatures. It's also proper for us to declare the glory of God this day and proclaim His handiworks to all. Let'
