ABOUT LOOSING A LOVED ONE, VALUE WHAT YOU HAVE

-

 


Some days ago, i stumbled at an old friend's wall and I saw a lot of condolence messages on his wall, it was then I realised he lost his dad a day before.

Then I went into his inbox to condole with him, so yesterday we spoke on phone, while I spoke with him i could feel the pain in his voice even though he was trying to be a man.

While we spoke and I asked about the burial he wasn't even sure if he would be around for the burial because he is far off and what saddens him the most was that he didn't have the opportunity of having a last chat with his dad.

I tried to console him and left him with words of hope and encouragement knowing that he will scale through this trying phase.

When we ended the call, I went into my shell to see if I can understand what he is currently going through, then I recalled what he said while we spoke, he said, his grateful that he knows who his father was, that many don't even have an idea of who their parents was, so many lost theirs while they were much little and became orphans at a tender age, but he is still grateful he had a good rapport with his dad, just that he wished he still lived more.

My thoughts kept racing and I started appreciating value and what my parents have deposited in my life personally.

The need to cherish every moment with them counts, the need to sacrifice more for them and appreciate them for taking care of you and giving you the best they could offer and giving up so many of their dreams to see you succeed.

There are times when our folks could make us so angry and we become at loggerheads with them yet they do it for our own good.

I left my room, went to my dad's room and gave him a big hug, he was asking me what happened, I just told him I appreciate him for all the sacrifices he did to make sure I and my siblings excelled in life.

Indeed we need to show our parents lots of love and support them when they need us most, these individuals are selfless and supportive, yet we pray that God allows them to enjoy the fruits of their labors in all their wards and relatives.

May God grant those good parents who have died eternal rest and may he bless the living to enjoy the rewards therein

It's the right of a man to find the woman and it's the right of the woman to chose the man and that is why when a man finds a woman he asks for her hand in marriage and if she chose him amongst all others she can easily say yes having considering why he is different with the right values to stick to him for life.  To the woman : *Do you know this man.  *Is he someone you can submit to.  *What are the values that makes you stick to him.  *What are his visions and mission in life. . *Dose he have the capacity and sustainability to keep and take care of you and a family.  *Is he a man of integrity and a man of respect, who projects peace and can protect you.  *Does he submit to higher authority and godly authority. *Does he have mentors who supports his vision in life To the man: *Do you know this woman.  *Is she someone you can love.  *Does she project the image of your future.  *Is she someone you can be proud of to present any time.  *Is she submissive to your person.  *Do you

Just almost when i got to the food stuff sellers shop, she also arrived, carrying Agege bread on her head, looking so hagged and hungry. How much is this rice, it looks so fine, the food seller replied her, its 400 per derica, while I was waiting to be attended to, she continued give me one derica, I don't eat rice with stones, I won't be able to eat it, she told the food seller, she buttressed again,  I can't eat rubbish because I don't have money, I left with my items while I pondered on the scene that just played out, the bread seller looks so unkept, probably from the hawking and again very hungry, even though she might not be able to afford the perfect life, but she deserves to eat the best, even if thats not what life has given to her. Many a time, we feel we are better than others because we are in a good position, we feel they don't deserve to get the best things in life, we feel they can't pass the road we have crossed, we feel they don't and can

If you understand that life comes in phases, you wont be bothered by what happens around you so keenly So many things are enough to make you feel less a person, when you allow them take hold of you. There are catalyst who propels you to go out of your way to see that things are done or better still satisfy people and contents, yet we also have pressures who forces you to do things out of your will power to satisfy personal self or a greedy community. Be intensional about everything you do, don't allow sentiments of any sort becloud your thoughts. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibilities for them and make sure you avoid every form of explanation to anyone, they are absolutely distractions. Never apologise for your feelings because you were intensional about it, rather make feasible ammends in the situation where you hurt any one. Always remember that life comes with various choices, many will intimidate us, yet a few will give us opportunities to be better of, yet its
