WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

The value of words is weightier when we really understand them. A lot of words are spoken through our engagement and interactions each day. However, we are mostly unable to listen to understand these messages. These might be due to the competing needs for shelter, food, power, comfort or convenience and peace. Other times our emotions or feelings steal our attention and distract us from really paying attention or listening to understand. The tendency of listening with distraction often tickles us, as we mostly listen to react or reply to whoever is speaking, which usually comes at a cost. Sometimes, it can be frustrating not being listened to and one might be tempted to shout or scream but I doubt if that's an attractive option. Nonetheless, the most certain way of repeating the message to others is conveying them in subtle but firm lines. As we live through the journey of life, we have a greater responsibility to listen to understand that this pilgrimage is not a ...

There was one catechist Yaw, who always asked us to listen to and be obedient to our parents. I remember asking him whether we should still be obedient even when what we were asked to obey did not make sense.  My friends giggled and laughed at me, as he (the catechist) tried answering me with another question,(the Ghanaian way). But since I was hungry and wanted the class to end, I couldn't afford to expend my little energy on that argument. Often, during the penultimate round of the televised Science & Maths Quiz, for Science Student in our secondary schools,  the Quiz Mistress usually asks the contestant to listen with rap attention for the set of riddle questions. Similarly, in our various homes and institutions too, we are entreated to listen or is it obey instructions and orders.  The case is same in our lives too, as we are supposed to also listen carefully to not only the rhythms of life, but to the music, the cries, the unsaid truths, and the m...

To nurse our dreams, we need a positive mindset. To live our worth, we need to value the quality of our unique experiences. To keep a steady progress, we need to respect the lines and know the fact that time is not our friend. May God grant you an open mind to know Him; a heart to understand your worth and that of others; and the courage to live life to its fullest. May He grant us patience to listen to the salient rhythms and the temerity to be honest in our conduct this day. May your week be blessed. ☘ #KYB ✍®#

In a world of many voices, we can't pretend not to hear some voices. Yes, we hear various voices which come in numerous shades and grades, and transmitted in interesting tones. You certainly have a voice we hear daily, but this evening please give ear 👂to that salient voice of conscience within you. In your reflective mood do give a listening heart to this voice of truth. In matters of decision making, choice making or moments of confusion do listen to this voice of eternal reason. Please do listen to the voice of God and heed the call, even as you you discern and explore our mission of care. Yes there is noise from several quarters of our society and from even within us, but if you listen carefully you will hear. May God help us hear His voice, and act accordingly. May He refresh our tired limbs to continue working for the good of all. Have a beautiful evening. Remain blessed. #KYB ✍🏿®#

Once, a wise old Owl sat on the branch of an oak tree, the more he saw the happenings around him, the less he spoke; and the less he spoke the more he heard the different voices of deceit and truth; the more he kept quiet, the more he observed the actions of others. Sometimes it's good to appreciate the silence in our hearts in order to hear the witty vibes of sages. It is necessary we calmly listen to the whispers of the breeze. Today, we have a duty to cultivate the attitude to listen to the unsaid truth and the many silent sensitive voices in our loud regime. Though it might be a challenge to switch our attention to listen more in a talking Republic, where everyone wants to be heard, listening is a priceless virtue. As evening breaths calmness, perhaps it's good we find time to relax like the wise old Owl while we listen and observe the rhythms of life. Greetings. #KYB ✍🏿®#

Let your thoughts be your prayers. Let your actions be the prayers you live. Let your work be the prayers you offer to the most high. In your quiet moments, talk less. In your fervent prayers, speak less but listen more. May God help us do what we ought to do, forgive more, especially as we seek for God's forgiveness daily? Good afternoon. Remain Blessed. 🙏 🏿 ‪ #‎KYB ✍ 🏿# .
