Thank God for … Vision

There is a big thing about vision in some circles. It revolves around having a bigger picture approach. That is something that has its merits. What I am particularly thankful for, however, is the capacity to see things as they really are. It’s easy to get that horribly wrong via the things we allow to […]

Thank God for … Learning

Teaching and training and that kind of thing is a delight and a joy for me. Under all that, though, there is an even greater love of learning. As I grow I realise how reluctant I am at times to certain necessary styles of learning. Like there are good people around me who will confront […]

Thank God for … Questions

My life is based on questions. The answers given to these questions are interesting, especially when they are investigated closely. So many based on assumptions rarely explored and hardly challenged. That’s why I love probing questions that challenge me to explore further and deeper into the issue. Sure I like answers as well as questions, […]

Thank God for … Fellowship

I have known her for almost 15 years but she is not my blood sister. The change in her over those years have been remarkable. She has matured so much. She has not lost her sense of fun, her humour is sharper than ever. She’s a stalwart among the saints even though she’s still relatively […]

Thank God for … Generations

I was listening to this couple. They have three children all aged under 13. The couple shared about the tremendous sacrifices their parents and then older siblings made for them. Sitting there, hearing these stories and looking at the way they cared for their children allowed me to reflect on the importance of generations. For […]

Thank God for … Life

It may not feel like it all the time, but I like living. Being alive is brilliant. The dying thing doesn’t look much fun. Mere existence appears to be a drag. Living. That’s where it’s at. Thriving, enjoying, fulfilling – that’s not about economic conditions or social background. That’s about in the circumstances connecting with […]

Authenticity

Today is my wife’s birthday. I have been a witness to 15 of these now and on some of these occasions I have left a note on here about her. It felt right to do so again because of one overwhelmingly endearing aspect of her character. Among the many reasons why I love this beautiful […]

What I Love About Abigail

Time flies by. One moment she was a vulnerable little bundle of joy. Another moment she is not so much walking as bounding from one end of the room to the other. Yet another moment she is a bouncing girl with energy to burn. What I love about Abigail is that she is not about […]

Finding Reasons To Be Grateful

The day did not work out as planned. The assignment that needed to be finished was held up for a number of factors most of which were out of your control. You felt off at work with some of your work colleagues and you’re not sure if your manager has the same positive sentiments to […]

Another Word of Thanks

I am glad I belong to the family of God. It is so good to know He as the loving, heavenly Father  makes it His point of duty to care for His own. I appreciate at times it doesn’t look like it. I know there are testing experiences that makes us wonder. This is why […]
