Visiting Hours

After a lazy lunch yesterday, instead of rushing up to the computer to begin the next all-important online tasks, I paused. In this pause I realised that I wanted to make another choice. A choice that felt more joyful in fact. The next moment I found myself reclined on my garden sofa, listening to some ocean wave sounds on my meditation app and began writing the following lines. We have to pause to invite joy in sometimes. She is a very compliant visitor!
Inviting Joy
Inviting joy into our days
Is something we can master
Our thoughts can often pave the way
then actions come much faster
What makes you smile is worth the while
For happiness becomes you
and upbeat thoughts start to compile
Exuding from the fun you
The ocean’s sound, a grassy mound
a forest or a sunset
What place most makes your joy abound?
and helps…

Weekend Magazine: MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD.

The theme for this week’s article is drawn from Psalms 121:2
‘My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.’ (NIV)
Verse one however says;
‘I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?’
Lifting his head towards the mountains, David asked the question above. ‘Mountains’ as used here could mean; human authorities, the arm of flesh, connections, oppressors etc. He however declared boldly in the second verse that his help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Remember the Bible says in Jeremiah 17:5 that; cursed is any man who puts his trust in another man.
Weeks ago, I came across a group of kids sitting on an old bench near a football park. As I got closer, I heard a boy of about five years old saying, ‘my dad helped with my homework yesterday and I’m surely…

Weekend Magazine: HUMILITY

Right from childhood, mom thought my siblings and I to live humbly. She told us never to look down on others, to be respectful, so as to grow into respectable individuals. Mom encouraged us to find beauty in our very little beginnings, to appreciate and make use of the things we had. Even though we didn’t have it all, we had just enough of all that we needed.
As tender as I was, I saw beauty in everything, in my own life and in the lives of others. I remember we had a puppy called PEACE. I referred to it as my ‘husband’ 😂, it had these cute little brown eyes with white hair covering a greater portion of its body. I fed it, cleaned it, and we often slept in the same bed. Deep within this puppy, I saw great beauty coupled with so much vulnerability, I needed PEACE…
