Personalize Your Thanksgiving


Ama: Don't you think it is more appropriate and appreciating when we personalize our thanksgiving than compare?. Because we all have our individual race to run and battles to fight. So the fact that our mates are ahead has nothing to do with us being "left behind". Because our age maybe the same yet our time of breakthrough might be different. Rather we making the effort to focus on our lives and bettering ourselves is ideal. Why crown your thanksgiving on the disadvantaged or less privileged?. Mostly we compare our lives with the sick and the dead as a reason for our thanksgiving. So what if no one died or fell sick?. Meaning we don't have any better reason for our thanksgiving?. We can rightfully thank God for good health and His mercies that has brought us this far without having to compare. How would you feel when someone uses you as a reason for their thanksgiving; that they are better of than you are?. Don't beat around the bush with your thanksgiving. Again I repeat, personalize it. There will always be someone who would share in your thanksgiving. Besides, for the mere fact that the universe exist can be a form of thanksgiving to God. All I am drawing our attention to is for the fact that there is more to be thankful for without having to compare our lives with others. Finally I say: Personalize your thanksgiving. God Bless You!

Christmas Came with Love

Timothy: I've written hundreds of write-ups on love and yet there is still more to write about. Fundamentally, it all began with love, if you think about it analytically.  Referring to creation, where it all began. 80% of people's status are about either showing love or hating on love. Many doubt love until they meet their right pair and they are swept off their feet by it. Others settle on one of their options, judging from the physical and mental; building on love eventually. Love takes effort and consistency, else we wouldn't be taken seriously. Love is mostly wrongly perceived, that is why I concluded on this fact that it takes maturity to handle love. We all know maturity has nothing to do with age, but our life's experience. How beautiful it is when we finally find that one person that brings out the realness in us. Finding that person who accepts us for whom we are isn't something easy at all. Cause we all come with our own luggages full of conditions. Hopefully, we find someone who ticks a lot of boxes on our preference sheet. Eventually, we start looking out for red flags. We take quite a long time considering whether we can actually live with those red flags we notice. Indeed, love is sweet when we are with the right person. Their company is heaven to us, and their absence is a more like a burden on us. How I wish love would locate everyone in this life. Cause, life in itself is stressful and we wouldn't want anyone stressing our lives on top of that. Understanding is a secret ingredient in any love story. Finding that love of our life who understands all our gestures and body language is like a dream come through. And treats us like the King/Queen we always fantasied about. Don't conclude that its love so soon and don't give up on love either. To be Continued.

That Christmas Feeling


Regardless; the rich or poor, liberal or confined, everyone gets their fair share of happiness. It's a time of the season; God smiles on humanity and pours down his cup of happiness on us. And that replaces the tough and rough memories we encountered during the year with gratitude and thanksgiving. Filled with a sense of hope and a fresh start for the following year. While we make plans and resolutions to better ourselves the next year. How it feels good to see the choir rehearsing the carols and people redecorating or adding some lightening to their homes to brighten every corner. Churches lifting 'crossover' banners all around town. Children busy helping out at home, receiving visitors and gifts of all kinds. Families having reunions, catching up with other family members; giving updates and having fun. It's a time of giving and receiving, blessings and celebrating, oneness and love. Paying humage to the one above. Depicting His love and sharing in His selfless act of giving. Praising with the Angels on one accord. For we were once lost but now forgiven. Living in His light, in His will in which we are driven. That Christmas Feeling is that of a season of remembrance. Looking at how far we've come and being thankful to God for it.
