Thank God It's Friday

Image
The beginning of every day requires efforts. The commencement of every activity hinges on our resolve to live. This partly rests on the divine grace and the gift of life for us to participate in the affairs of life. Indeed, it's a new day to put finishing touches to all we have been doing the week. Arguably, people work all week for the weekend. People wait and anticipate the warmth of Fridays. Children love Fridays too, because of the break it gives them from the routine schooling activities in the week. Most workers love the feel of Friday evenings, which the celebrated Yvonne Chachachaka intoned in one of her songs. (I still remember how we crucified that song then). A lot of activities have been pushed to Fridays-Saturdays-Sundays, perhaps because of its relaxed nature for socialising, cleaning, cooking and travelling among others. But in waiting or laying an ambush for this friendly Friday, please take care of yourself. May this friendly Friday be fair to you, your f

I Know You Know

I know you know your name and the names of others. I know you know when morning comes. I know you know when the Sun shines. I know you know when the evening tides visit. I know you know when you are healthy, happy and ready. I know you know when you are unhealthy too? I know you are conscious of life and the essence of our being here. Sometimes we may know why the birds fly, but other times we may not know why they fly the way they do. Sometimes we may or may not know the reasons for every happening. But I know you know there's a God who knows the reasons why things happen the way they do. I know you know the right and appropriate things to do at any time. I know you know it's difficult keeping up with the right things most of the time. I know you know that we may not have control over all the happenings around us. I know you know the effects of good actions from the bad ones. However, what I don't know is whether you know if God is pleased with what you

You Are An Inspiration

Image
In the circle of life, In the ins and outs of life, We hear and learn from each other. But in the corridors of our hearts, In the silence of our souls and in the thrust of our humanity, one thing is clear. Our relative endurance, resilience and courage to meander through this day is enough inspiration worthy of note. In these interesting times, please be reminded that you an inspiration for others. Your effort to live is appreciated by this son, friend and brother.  Although I won't pretend I know your reasons for holding on till this hour, But having come this far, I'd like you to remember that you are the reason someone smiles. God bless you. #KYB ✍🏿®#

I Wish You Well

Image
In the travelling moments of a day; And at the beginning of this new week, Please remember that; Your smile in this mile is still precious, Your life though imperfect is still  a worthy venture worth living. So please walk with caution, stay alert and take care of your safety and salvation. I wish you well in your endeavours. I pray for God to preserve and guide you through the moments of days, weeks and years. May God our helper, who has brought us this far continue to sustain our lives through all the changing times. God bless your week. Be good. #KYB ✍🏿®#

A Patriotic Claim

Image
Everywhere we go, there are people. People make families, communities, towns, cities, metropolis, states, nations or countries. In our histories and stories, it's mostly people we read or hear about. The exploits of people in the past, present and in the future will always be told. So it is essential for us to understand that we are a people because of others. We are a people because of the toils, dedication and commitment of our forebears, who long started this walk of liberation. And we are mostly a people because of the delight of guiding another people (next generation) to learn the art of living and breathing life into their visions. We have heard and listened to the stories and challenges of our ancestors. We learned of their success, challenges as well as failures and weakness. We are aware of the price of the extreme disagreements of people's plans, plots and programmes in politics at different places and within different contexts over the years. However, we c

Another Window

Image
Times are hard and it is no longer a funny secret. In fact, the reality is such that we can no pretend about this challenge. While not shying away from the reality on the ground, we have to retune our minds and focus on doing the needful things this day. We have an obligation to manage and navigate through these hard times and birth innovative approaches to scale through. However, as beautiful beams of rays filters the morning sky, As another window comes, May we walk in the door of new possibilities. May the courage to live this day enliven our dreams again. And may it also tickle that wondrous hope to shine anew today. Have a wonderful midweek. God bless you. #KYB ✍🏿®#

A Thousand Heartbeats

The count of your heartbeats is precious. Your little efforts are commendable, so take it easy on yourself as you relax. To those who are troubled, please be encouraged. To those weeping, may God wipe your tears and comfort you. To those in pain, may God soothe your pains and give you peace. Wishing you a beautiful God bless you. #KYB ✍🏿®#
