What a love

I saw this on a site and I love to share with you;

A little boy came up to his mother in the
kitchen one evening while she was fixing
supper, and handed her a piece of paper
that he had been writing on. After his Mom
dried her hands on an apron, she read it,
and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went
shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing
there, and the boy could see the memories
flashing through her mind. She picked up
the pen, turned over the paper he’d written
on, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you
were growing inside me: NO CHARGE
For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you,
doctored and prayed for you: NO CHARGE
For all the trying times, and all the tears
that you’ve caused through the years: NO
CHARGE
For all the nights that were filled with
dread, and for the worries I knew were
ahead: NO CHARGE
For the toys, food, clothes, and even
wiping your nose: NO CHARGE
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my
love is: NO CHARGE.
When the boy finished reading what his
mother had written, there were big tears in
his eyes, and he looked straight at his
mother and said, “Mom, I sure do love
you.” And then he took the pen and in
great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”.
LESSONS:
You will never know your parents worth till
you become a parent
Be a giver not an acquirer, especially with
your parents. there is a lot to give, besides
money.
BECAUSE MONEY IS THE WORST WAY OF
MEASURING HAPPINESS

Learn Patience

I stumbled at this and want you too to gain from it too. Enjoy;

A 30-year-old man visited his old father who could no longer see very well. As both of them sat in front of his house chatting, a dove flew in and perched on the window. The old man asked his son, "Is that a dove that perched on the window?". The son replied, "Yes dad". After a short while, he asked the son the same question a second time and got the same answer. When he asked the same question the third time, his son became angry and rebuked him saying, "This is why I hate visiting you, you keep repeating questions!"

The old man was silent for about 10 minutes, and then he asked the son to go into his bedroom and fetch his old diary. The son did as he requested. Then he asked him to read page 2 of the diary. The words read:

"My son is 3 years old today. As we sat in front of the house playing, a dove flew in and perched on the window. My son asked me 30 times if it was a dove. I gladly replied "yes" to each question. I cannot explain in words how happy I am that my son has learned to talk. What a wonderful day to remember!"
The young man dropped the diary on the ground, then he cried and apologized to his father. The old man spoke again, "Enough son, one mistake cannot make you less a man, but repeating the same mistake over and over again can kill any man. I've chosen today to teach you the final lesson before I depart this world.
 The lesson for today is Patience. Always be kind and considerate to the less privileged, this is how you'll stand out even among the saints. If you are nice to everyone on your way up, they will definitely do their best to keep you there.

Stay cool....

Know Ebola now

Thank God for Science and discoveries. If not for them, maybe many of us would have been wiped out by different diseases in the past, but God help scientists to discover solutions to those diseases. Recently, we heard of another disease in Africa in which I know scientists will find solution to as God help them to. But I want to share with you what was sent to me about the disease, it called Ebola disease and caused by Ebola virus. God want us to live fine and that can happen when we are informed. Please, don't ignore...

All you need to know about Ebola Virus now:
1. It is a Central African disease that has travelled over countries in a living host to West Africa. It is easily spread by physical contact and eating contaminated bush meat. Major hosts are in 5 species of Bats but monkeys and apes are easily infected and killed.
2. It kills in a week, leaving no time to treat an individual.
3. It has no known vaccine or cure.
4. Known cases have been experienced recently in Guinea, Liberia and Central Africa Rep, spreading eastwards and westwards towards Nigeria. Death toll so far in West Africa is over 100.
5. The Ebola outbreak of 2014 is the most challenging one witnessed in Africa.

What we can do?
1. Avoid eating any bush meat for now! Especially Apes and Bats.
2. Wash your hands as regularly as possible, especially after shaking a stranger. It is spread by contact.
3.The most straightforward prevention method during Ebola outbreaks is not touching patients, their excretions, and body fluids, or possibly contaminated materials and utensils. Patients should be isolated, and medical staff should be trained and apply strict barrier nursing techniques (disposable face mask, gloves, goggles, and a gown at all times). Traditional burial rituals, especially those requiring embalming of bodies, should be discouraged or modified. Awareness is key, don't just read or ignore...spread this campaign before the virus spreads..

The vaccine will be discovered but before then let fight this Ebola with care. Stay cool.

Ask God

Idolatry- Colossians 3v5(MSG)Do you need a stone to call your new god before you become idolatrous? Do you need to go back to worship Sango,Obatala,or Ogun to become idolatrous? What of your feelings and your emotions that drive you?Take a look at what that scripture calls what King James version of the Bible calls Idolatry.It says : 'A life shaped by things and feelings instead of God'.Maybe you need to ask yourself these questions- What drives me? What do I follow? What shapes my life? What is the reason behind what I do? Isn't it because you saw someone wear that cloth,and it was good on him,that drove you to the market to buy yours? Is it not because you just felt like making that decision that drove u to go ahead?Scripture calls it Idolatry... God is looking for men who will absolutely depend on him for direction for what to do per time,not men that are led by their feelings or things they see...Have you asked God about that decision? He wants to get involved... Ask Him..

If thou truely repent..

Because I knew not when my life was good,
And when there was a light upon my path,
But turned my soul perversely to the dark,
O Lord, I do repent.

Because I held upon my selfish road,
And left my brother wounded by the way,
And called ambition duty, and pressed on,
O Lord, I do repent.

Because I spent the strength Thou gavest me
In struggle which Thou never didst ordain,
And have imperfect life to offer Thee,
O Lord, I do repent.

Because I was impatient, would not wait,
And thrust my willful hand across Thy threads,
And marred the pattern drawn out for my life,
O Lord, I do repent.

If we truly repent, then shall we start the work? Shall we start building Character? Shall we start making our nation better? Shall we start loving ourselves.. In God we trust, may He help us..

Do your part

Everything in Life is not automatically activated,
you have to manually activate some. And if you
don't, they will remain there unactivated. Let us
know our roles and responsibilities and do them..
Then only can we be a blessing to people around
us.. And guess what? We will make our World better..

Feel Good

         The way to be happy at all times is when you feel loved at all times (I tell you,it encourages you even when you are not really doing fine, you just want to try get better). The way to feel loved is when someone actually love you and the way to get someone to love you is to love others, and show that love to them.
           Get me right, I am not saying you will be loved immediately you show love, it takes time. The only key that can break anybody's heart, no matter how hard it may be is Love and that is why God Himself use the method of Love. Imagine a world where we all love ourselves, a Nigeria where Olasode Blessing(Yoruba) truely loves Okpala Uzochukwu(Igbo) and Okpala truely loves Rashidi Muibat(Hause), then, we won't deliberately hurt ourselves. I tell you, we will be happy. We will really feel good.

I choose to love, so help me God...
What do you think?
