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!

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
