Something Special For Someone Special

Something Special For Someone Special

 December 31st 2013, I woke up earlier than I normally will, but I was already a little late for "something". I rushed through my morning rites, and a couple of minutes later, I was where I was meant to be. A couple of minutes later, some new faces walked into the room, we were not properly introduced, but I was to work with one of them. My partner at the time picked one of them, and minutes later, we were working together and I didn't even know her name.
 By evening, it was time for the watch-night or as some of y'all will call it, cross-over service. On new year day, she was on of the first people I interacted with, we didn't talk much, it was all about getting the job done.
 By Saturday Morning we were done with the work, she and her pals went back to school, and Life was back to normal. But there was just a slight problem, I knew her name, liked her face, enjoyed her company, but didn't have her phone number. Now who does that? In this age and times?
 I waited a whole week, then went to my immediate superior asking to get her phone number. Now considering where I work, that is a very odd request which on a good day would never be met. Considering I didn't have any official role to play towards her on behalf of the company. I have no idea why or how, but he did give me her phone number. I couldn't wait to call her, minutes later we were talking on the phone, and by the end of the week we were closer than I imagined.
 We got talking and I realized we were actually very different but very similar. We shared a lot of common likes and dislikes, but stood on different grounds on lots of issues. In about two months of knowing each other, we've become best of friends, exchanged ideas and opinions, argued, agreed and disagreed, and she actually dislikes Liverpool F.C despite all I've done to win her over.
 But one thing I've come to discover, she does occupy a special place in my heart, and everyday I'm grateful to God for bringing such a gem into my life. She has actually made the year 2014 a lot more fun than it will have been without her.
 Today, she turns a year older, and I'm seizing this opportunity to wish her a happy birthday, praying her years be filled with joy, laughter, satisfaction, grace, prosperity, strength, favor, Love and lots of Peace.
 Her name is Peace, and this is Wishing You A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, with even better and grater days to come.

 If You want Enemies, Excel Others; If You want Friends, Let Others Excel You.

Bible Verse Of The Day: Genesis 9 vs 1 - 3

 1 ¶ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Crazy Logic 101: Sowing And Reaping

Don't tell me "Impossibility is nothing" cos then some people will go out of their way to create the "Impossible"

I just finish watching the movie "Notorious". It's bassed on the life of Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. A.k.a Notorious B.I.G As it got towards the end, just when His Voice Over had ended and that of His mum was taking over, it was the scene depicting the procession to His burial. I began to see a massive similarity between B.I.G and Nigeria's own Dagrin. I remember shortly after the death of Dagrin, the crazy display of love shown by his fan, and a lot of shared philosophies between them. As well as what they had in common with TU Pac Shakur.
 I'll dwell more on that some other time. In the meantime, I've been doing a lot of thinking. Almost every time I hear an adult and a youth or young adult have a misunderstanding, many of the adult or should I say older folks immediately start talking on how they were more respectful and well behaved in their younger days, How Youths of this days are stubborn, disrespectful and on their way to ruin.
 They then go on to lecture you on Actions and Repercussions, as well as the principle of Sowing and Reaping. This always leaves me wondering, What exactly did these Folks sow when they were young? Considering how these "Adults" all claim to have live an Innocent and Well behaved life, I begin to wonder, who among them did all the wrong things we hear of now? Looking at the story they tell, almost everyone of  them knows or were friend with "one boy" who was stubborn and ended up wrecked. They also know "one girl" that wouldn't read her book and ended up as a prostitute. But if we follow the principle of show me your friend and I will tell who you are, shouldn't we ask what these "Adult folks" were doing with such bad friends back then? and where exactly are that "bad boy" and "stubborn girl" now so we can ask for their own part of the story? after all, there are always two or more side to every story.
 As I was saying, following the principle of reaping what you sow, isn't there a possibility these "Adult Folks" are reaping the consequences of their youthful ways? Is there not a possibility that they are getting the judgment for all of their own stubbornness and rebellion?
 A man whose son is repeatedly stealing His money, shouldn't we ask how much of His dad's money He stole, A woman whose daughter wouldn't heed to her advice and is insistent on following some sugar daddy, shouldn't we ask how many boyfriends and sugar daddies the mum had in her days?
 In summary, there is a possibility the heartaches some older folks experience are the result of actions of their younger ones. But then the younger folks shouldn't carry on with their naughty habits, because they just might have to bear the consequences in the future. Even if an Older fellow is deserving of a punishment, If you are not in a position of Authority or Leadership over him, then it is not you place to execute such judgment.
 Remember  "The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born."
