I miss spending the Christmas and New Year holidays in the village back home in Nigeria. Some of my fondest childhood memories were formed there. Although we lived in the city, my father had a strong love for village life and looked forward to spending his retirement there. When I think about those happy memories …
I’m thankful that despite the blows 2020 gave, I’m still standing. Thankful for the growth this year. Thankful for the ups and downs, highs and lows, mountains and valleys, laughter and tears. Thankful for it all because it there wasn’t the former, there wouldn’t have been the later. Also thankful for you reading this. Thanks …
I’m thankful that we had snow yesterday and the kids were able to play in it safely whilst I was working. “It’s the little things” they say. This “little thing” made a lot of difference in how our day started yesterday; meaning I could work without any distraction for the first few hours. As they …
I’m thankful that God provided another job for my brother during this pandemic. God has really been faithful and He’s been paving ways for him. In places where some are saying “there is a casting down”, he is able to say “there is a lifting up”. It’s indeed the Lord’s doing and like everything He …
Two nights ago my husband had to take one of my daughters to the hospital because she was feeling unwell. The doctor that assessed her initially told them that there was nothing wrong with her and that they should go home. My husband insisted on him running a blood test. Thankfully he did that because …
Today I’m thankful for a little outdoor park I found near me that has been a place I go to when I want serenity. Interestingly, we’ve lived in this neighbourhood for over 6 years and we never knew of this place which is literally 2mins walk from us. This is now where I do my …
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas? Today I’m thankful for the kindness of my daughters who are aged 8 and 9. They got me and their dad a Christmas present by using their money. After thanking them I told them that they shouldn’t have bought me presents and that they should have saved …
Merry Christmas everyone! As we celebrate Christmas today, I’m thankful for Jesus and for the hope He brings. I have tried to marry the chaos going on in our world right now to what was happening when the angels presented the good news to the Virgin Mary. Despite the unknown, there was a hopeful anticipation …
I saw a double rainbow 2 weeks ago and I haven’t seen one in a while. Seeing it truly lifted my spirit. It reminded me of how God never forgets His promises to us even when we do. Through out that day, the promises God has made to me started coming again to my mind. …
I’m thankful for good neighbours. We have always managed to find ourselves amongst good neighbours. Even the ones that are non Christmas are very nice. Our immediate neighbour is always bringing us gifts and always very supportive of anything we are doing. Hearing stories of “the awful neighbour” made me realise that I am very …
