Sacrifices Serves Love - Happy Easter 2021
https://ift.tt/vaWBxkF
Easter reminds us that:
It is important to put yourself in another's shoes,
God has imagined and placed Himself in our position
Someone loved us enough to die for us
We are called to love others
God loves us all.
Sacrifice exists in Service of love
Happy Easter!!!

Receiving the King - Palm Sunday 2022
https://ift.tt/KDvFsNf
I live under the shade of your promises I live under the shade of your love I exist amidst the splendor of your name Your majesty protects me on treacherous paths As I walk down life's painful streets as you did Because you went before me, I can follow the path you laid Your Majesty is undoubted Your Majesty is without reproach Even though tomorrow this flesh may forget As blinded by life's pain it chooses sin This spirit celebrates you today For by walking this path, you showed the way to heaven So I cleanse my mouth of complaints Preparing my Heart to receive the King Watching every path from whence he may come And I declare from the depths of my heart, "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the Highest!" Happy Palm Sunday folks!

Complaints vs. Thankfulness Pt. 2 - The Constant
https://ift.tt/3nPeo08
I thought I was a minority I thought I needed a crowd to survive Who was I to stand alone? How could I stand without the crowd? I needed them and leaned Only to find myself staggering into an abyss They weren't enough to hold me up They couldn't even hold themselves up Then I noticed I was still upright - even in the abyss Something... Someone was holding me up The same thing holding the crowd up A Constant. God. So I leaned in And I was no longer alone I'm grateful to the One who holds me up Who is constant enough to lean on fearlessly.

Complaints vs. Thankfulness Pt. 2 - Unworthy
https://ift.tt/32r0RDL
Despite the bad times The wrong choices The betrayals and the pain Somehow there are these moments... Filled with laughter and joy Sometimes right in the middle of pain Other times I remember How my life was preserved and enhanced But by luck... chance... favor Someone rescues me, another warns Something keeps me from going over the ledge And I continue to move forward At this time I acknowledge That it took less than this for others Their lives ended and all their dreams died Yet, despite some bad choices - I'm okay I'm a product of Grace, Favor, Dumb luck? Clearly, I have a reason to be thankful

Some call money a blessing Or a Job Or Career Or House Or Cars Or Fame Or Power Or Intelligence Or Beauty Or Gift Or Talent Or Charisma Or Joy Or Love Or Health Or Family Or Friends One thing is clear Irrespective of what you call Blessing Everyone has a blessing that someone else wants You have something someone is praying for So before you complain about what you do not have Remember that your life is someone's dream Be thankful for what God has bestowed on you

Hi and Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am so thankful i get to see another Thanksgiving Celebration. To mark this year's celebration i decided to conclude the Complaints vs. Thankfulness series i started on the blog in September 2018. Check it out @ https://ift.tt/3oWLt9N However, I was unable to finish the posts as planned and it has now been 3 years since I started that series and coincidentally inspiration struck this year right around thanksgiving! The posts I will be sharing were written to help you reflect and shift your perspective on the past year. 2021 was challenging for me and it probably was for you too but if you reflect on it, as I have, you may realize that there are MORE REASONS TO BE THANKFUL than to complain. I hope that these posts will remind you of these reasons... by Lyric Cards Central by Akokeade

Yesterday... I'll be thankful tomorrow When things are better When my dreams have come true I can wait to be properly thankful I just have to work and try harder I just have to wait till it's big enough I'll save my joy for tomorrow I'll conserve my energy till then No point celebrating the small things today Today... I crossed that hurdle I look back and I realize While I was waiting to be thankful Small and cumulative things happened They shifted my position I'm better off than before And I never stopped to celebrate the small things My miracle was in the small things I should have been thankful everyday

Complaints vs. Thanksgiving Pt. 2 - What Is Friendship
https://ift.tt/3nIgsqH
Friendship is costly It is sacrifice It is close quarters It is overwhelming It is compromise It is a crowd Something I do not always want to deal with Friendship is supportive It is an investment It is warmth It emboldens It is strength It is a community... a collective Something that brings a spring to my step I'm thankful for my friends For Tutu and Dupe who make me aspire For Rita and Naomi who keep my heart warm For friends who grew with me - Lady T 😘 Who gave me the strength to be bold - HRJ Who are always a call away - Chike and Wura And those who became family - Oaikenna, I hail o!

The Injustice of Thankfulness - Complaints vs. Thankfulness Pt. 2
https://ift.tt/3DKhOa3
Complaints are intuitive When something is wrong Bitter feelings suffocate you Pain lodges firmly in your throat You may find it hard to breathe And the words you speak are filled with poison They may hurt others or be offensive to God But their poison touches you first In celebrating what is wrong You lose sight of what is right You lose sight of what is possible Thankfulness is conscious effort When things are wrong Speaking words of thankfulness seems unjust Especially if it may absolve others Or if it suggests God still deserves your thanks It feels to you like you are paying for pain As though you are admitting you deserve it But it is thankfulness that heals you By celebrating of what is right You shrink the power of what is wrong You gain vision for possibilites

Complaints vs. Thankfulness Pt. 2 - Intro
https://ift.tt/3Dz6uxo
Back in September 2018 I started a series titled Complaints vs. Thankfulness. I only did three posts on it and I couldn't complete the series which I had wanted to make 7 posts long because of the seven songs that had inspired the series back then. At the time, I had been struggling with being formally unemployed for about 3 years. I wasn't starving or living on the streets but being constantly at home was getting to me. One day, whilst I was complaining - albeit internally, a song came on and it was about thankfulness. It took that one song to help me realize that if I kept on complaining, I would remain miserable and so I decided to choose thankfulness and unwittingly - hope came along for the ride. Interestingly, it was just a week after those three posts that my long wait came to an abrupt end. My thankfulness somehow took me where my complaints never did. However, I was unable to finish the posts as planned. It has now been 3 years since I started that series and I intend to finish it - for now - and inspiration has coincidentally struck right around thanksgiving! The posts I will be sharing in the next few days were written to achieve 1 aim - to reflect and shift your perception on the past year. This year was a challenging one for me and it probably was for you too but but if we reflect back on it, as I have, we may realize that there are MORE REASONS TO BE THANKFUL than to complain. I will be posting at 7:30am everyday from Monday 21st November 2021 to Thursday 26th November 2021. The posts on Wednesday and Thursday will be twice a day with the second post of the day at 4pm to the commemorate thanksgiving celebrations- Watch Out for them!

Often we are tempted to wait till we think we have achieved the perfection necessary to chase our dreams... and sometimes we end u waiting forever. This video encourages to pursue their dreams right now and to be on the front line of change, by Lyric Cards Central by Akokeade

https://ift.tt/3jeirQS
Originality. The front line. Being first at something... You cannot avoid it forever Sooner than you think, It will be your turn. You'll have to lead To make a path for others to follow If you are going to anyway, You might as well start. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be better at it. If mockery is inevitable, Take it now while you feel small. Its blows and may be guaranteed, But they would be small ones - for now. The show and tell is coming up. Your imagination will be on display To prove your thinking time was well spent. So, start creating the dream today Start being first.

Long-Distance Hotlines - Easter 2021
https://ift.tt/2QUzJHt
When we escape to feel or not feel When we escape to shield ourselves and our hearts When we escape to find relief in temporary spaces We prolong our suffering and expose ourselves more We take the long road to recovery, safety and protection Even though what we need is closer than our breath Closer than any person, pharma or experience We can find what we need in the purity of selfless sacrifice In love that know no bounds and never ceases - In Christ The risen one who has experienced the depths of pain and despair The one who was abandoned, condemned, chained, punished and killed He knows what it is to feel too much and be devastated He triumphed it all and offers all His power to you today All you have to do is ask, right now, right there.

When Evil Cheats - Easter 2021
https://ift.tt/3rPNRhU
Despair
It tries to tag along with challenges It tries to sneak in with bad news It tries to occupy the empty spaces within It tries to enthrone defeat It wants to snuff out the light It wants to Evict hope and keep it out It wants to isolate its host It wants to reign unchallenged It is the cheat code of evil It is how evil wins without raising a hand It is how evil deceives you into defeat It is why the playing field must be leveled
Hope
It overrides despair It mends broken hearts It strengthens Willpower It drives its host forward It shields the heart It preserves the soul It ivigorates the spirit It reveals possibilities It is God's winning hand It is God's guiding light It is Calvary's Aha! Moment and a Risen Christ It is Christ sweeping in and defeating evil
