Tribute to my grandma

Amazing how you touched our hearts from near and far
And that's simply who you were!
Such honor is granted but to a few
We're so glad we got it from you

Should we talk about how
The odds of life would abound?
But they would all clear somehow
Coz mama Deina was around?

Or should we reminisce the many times
You filled our home with peace?
There're just not enough rhymes
To articulate this piece!

You touched the deepest of our soul
Illuminating every part
Who else can assume your role?
What can tear us apart

We miss you so much our friend
Sing with angels above
How we hope to meet you in the end
We will always remember your love

LOVE AMAZING LOVE DIVINE

The bible says in Jer 31;3 ''The LORD appeared to him from afar: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with my loving kindness.'' What a blessed assurance to know that God has flooded us with an infinite love that stretches as far as the heavens are above the earth. That regardless of what others may think of us, the everlasting father thinks the best of us. What then shall we say concerning this?  Can anything ever detach us from this love? Think about this... We all have ‘that one thing’ we will never forget Some of us are weighed down by a life of regret Yet some have sweet memories in closest friends who though far away Are here to stay Well, here’s my story … The name above all names cared to know mine And the nail-pierced hands reached out just in time This shaky boat was sinking in But the sacrifice on Calvary took away my sin I draw my help from looking above From the Lord who quiets me with His lo...

HOPE

Hope always shows up when we are about to fall by the wayside. Hang in there! There’s this timeless story you probably have heard, especially if you grew up around people who were positive about life. It is a tale of hope, brought out in the simplest of ways any child could grasp. It pictures four candles: I want to believe that among them was that of faith of hope and love. They live well together (talk of stories giving life to lifeless things haha), burning so brightly and then things turn sour and they go out, save for the candle of hope which continues till the end. What I like about the story is that this lucky candle thinks it wise to light up the rest: which it does. Lovely! Isn’t it? Now it feels like I’m narrating to some Sunday school kids sited in front of me with their legs crossed, anxious. Trust me, it feels good. Hope is simply optimism. A clear cut confidence that things will work out somehow. It constitutes an expectation that cannot be clouded by the current state of...

Ours for the taking!

The path of Christianity is filled with highs and lows. We stumble upon trials and tests that shake us to the core. Sometimes we get to the knife edge and contemplate giving up. Every new day proves that the struggle is more real than the day before. Truth is, the pressure that sits on us on either side works not to crush us, neither do life's puzzles leave us in despair. There's infinite strength building from within despite the possibility that the surface suggests otherwise. Although shaken to the point of loosing hold of the hope we profess, we are not smashed! The revival that awaits our hearts is nothing close to the former testimonies we have had. Not a bit! In Haggai 2:9 we see the promise of the latter being greater th an the past. ''For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory within it' Zech 2:5. This promise is huge. I t's ours for the taking! We ar e in for much much more. Picture a dry perched land coming...
