Keeping in touch



Keeping in touch is very good and needful...it's just that with the passage of time our friendship circle just keeps enlarging and increasing making the abiltiy to keep in touch with everyone a major task that demands a conscious effort. Plus the fact that everyone is busy with the demands of family, Church and work which also cannot be left unattended to.

 Point 1: Everyone is busy
The good thing is that even in the midst of our busy schedule GOD has a way of bringing people to mind. Sometimes things happen around us that makes us remember people with whom we have had similar experiences with or we run into certain persons that remind us of our acquaintances. At such moments the best thing to do is to pick up our phones and send either an SMS or make a quick call or else it might take another divine reminder to remember we need to keep in touch.

 Point 2: When you are reminded of someone, check on them immediately or set a reminder or else you might forget and the same thing will keep reoccurring and you end up not nuturing that relationship as you ought to.
Let me paint a common but very funny and sometimes annoying scenario of how people try to check up on others and I'm certain you've experienced it too.

 ......in the midst of a busy day when your boss seems to be piling up lots of 'to do' on your table or perhaps it happens to be one of those days when you need a certain amount of money to seal up a business deal or lets say one of those hungry sunny afternoons....you pick up your phone to see a ping on your BBM or a message on WhatsApp from a friend whom you've not contacted in 3 months and whom you have also not heard from over the past 3 months

 And the conversation goes like this....

 Friend: Nawa oh..... you have completely forgotten about me. You can't even say you should check up on somebody. It is well oh. Please try and be checking on us once in a while my dear..... Anyway how are you?

 You: .............(Fill in the blanks remembering your boss is on your neck or you still trying to sort out the dollars you need to seal up the business deal) I most likely will be dazed, angry or irritated.... Dunno 'bout you..

 What if the conversation went like this....

 Friend: Hey dear....been a while. How are you doing? So sorry I haven't been in touch. You came to mind and I decided to check up on you. Miss you loads.


How about that......

 That you remembered someone first and checked up on them doesn't mean give you the right to point an accusing finger....nah....The fact that you remembered someone is because GOD brought that person to mind. Just humbly show some love....*wink*


So...this is my way of saying;

 How have you been? Know that you are very much cherished, loved and appreciated....*smiles*


Yspot!

Some days ago, I was singing the song "I know my redeemer lives" by Nicole Mullen. As I sang the first line of the song; "who taught the sun where to stand in the morning..." the words hit me and it felt like I was hearing the words of the line for the first time. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?                                                                                       Pause and think for some minutes… 💭 Did GOD sit the sun down after creating it to explain what is was made to do or that it was expected to rise in the east and set in the west?  Was there a tutor assigned th e responsibility of showing the sun how to rise, how to shine, or to tell the sun the perfect time to set?  or Did the sun require daily reminders to rise in the morning and give warmth and light to the world?  I doubt that..😶 So, if no one taught the sun where to stand in the morning, then how did the sun know where to stand?  Every appliance made or created is wir

We all watched as JDee tried to crawl on his knees some days back. Prior to this, he had been doing a great job crawling on his stomach, but the guy just can't wait to walk... Lol. So he keeps pushing himself.  Lessons: *You will always remain at the same spot doing the same things until you push yourself forward.  *Don't stop at the point or place where others think you should and neither should you stop because of factors like your age or your sex, or the fact that no one has ever done it before. You can be the first to break and set a new record. *Keep pushing yourself until you are all you can be.  *Don't let the barriers and mindsets stop you.  Eventually JDee did it... He moved one knee and we all went screaming.  Why did we scream?  *We saw the progress he had made even though, some would consider it so little, but try asking a mum who has been praying for her child to walk after so many years, she would consider that a great a
