It is so easy
To point fingers
And lay blames
We recount what
Should have been
And what the other needs to do
We feel like champions
And pat ourselves on the back
We lose compassion
Until we find ourselves
In similar situations
Then we realise what
What we should have done or
How we should have acted

I need to take a
Look at myself
Pretend with a little
Bit of role play
Or role swap
How would I want others
To treat me?

A little compassion makes the sun
To shine in someone’s garden.

In the Book of Esther, the name God was never mentioned; yet, throughout the book God is evidently at work in the lives of the people and the intricate affairs of the nation.
Even though it appeared as if evil men were gaining the upper hand, God was still in absolute control protecting His people.

We may not completely comprehend everything that is happening around us; nevertheless, we cannot relinquish our trust in God’s salvation. We need to maintain our integrity and faith in God by doing what we believe is right and just.

Esther who risked her life to appear before the King, became a great heroine to her people; Mordecai who was effectively condemned to death, became the second highest ranking officer all over Xerxes’ empire.

No matter how like a dead end our conditions may seem to be, no matter how evil, sickness or sin may seem to reign and gain ground, even when we just want to give up, we cannot afford to give in to despair for God is still very much in control. His grace is always available for His people. When the timing is right, we would see that we already have the victory by His grace.

Be assured, grace wins every time.

Thank God it’s Monday
Really?
Yes
I love Mondays
Why?
Don’t you know the meaning of Mondays?
No I don’t
Hmmm…

Mondays mean
– School runs
– Packed lunches
– Rush hour
– Going to work
– Work colleagues
– Driving to work
– Appointments
– Deadlines

Exactly my point. That is why I don’t like Mondays.
No, take a closer look-

I’m grateful I have children.
I’m grateful I have a family
I’m grateful my children are in school.
I’m grateful I’m there for them to do their school runs, to help them with their homework.

I’m grateful they have food to eat.
I’m grateful I can afford healthy food for them.

I’m grateful I live in a community, I’m not alone or isolated.
I’m grateful for this community of care workers, utility workers, bankers, transport workers, etc all of us making effort to be at our work posts.

I’m grateful I have a job.
I’m grateful I earn a salary- it means I have money for bills, business and pleasures.

I’m grateful I have people to work and laugh with at work.
I’m grateful there’s a workforce complementing my little inputs.
I’m grateful they also have jobs.

I’m grateful I have a car, I drive to work
I’m grateful I walk to work. A good opportunity for exercise.
I’m grateful I fly to work. Very comfy in a jiffy.

I’m grateful for deadlines and appointments. My input is appreciated. I am important to someone.

I’m grateful I’m alive to do all these.

I’m grateful for Mondays
I love Mondays

love

love has always been
an action word

actions always speak volumes
more than words

actions are always the mirrors
into your soul

narcissism has no friends

agape’s friends are countless

love will always be
an action word

love

What is the cost of freedom?
A soldier’s life?
What is the cost of liberty?
A young man’s death?

Politicians bickering
Smoking cigars,
In luxurious suites
Soldiers fighting
Hungry and homesick
In muddy trenches

Put a price of freedom
What is the number?
Write a cheque for liberty
How much is it?

Bring all the monies in the world
Gather all the gold and the diamonds
Put them in a bank-
How many lives can it buy?

#100 years Remembrance Day

From the ashes of despair
Let our song rise
From the dusts and tears
Bounce back into the Light
Begone! Unbelief
Our Saviour! He lives

Chant your songs, raise that voice
Breathe again, make it your choice
The past ain’t got power over you
Follow the Light, don’t stay down
From the ashes, rises a new you
For the dust can’t keep you down

I saw a garden
Untended, neglected and abandoned
I wondered,
Such a beautiful garden
With great potentials,
Where is the owner??

I saw a blog
Untended, neglected and abandoned
I wondered,
Such a beautiful blog
With prolific potentials,
Where is the owner??

I looked closer
I realised,
The blog was actually
Mine

So I ask,
Where am I?

Sometimes we need not

Shake it up or

Make it complicated

Atimes, simplicity is all we need

For a lifetime of happiness

Shake it Up

#Revisiting daily prompts

Suddenly I rolled up my sleeves abruptly, then I sat down to Observe the change of Tides in this unfolding drama. 

Before his Mentor, who was known as Mr. Blue Bubble, Jimmy Flaunted some recently completed works by his new band “The Rapid Rainbows” with such hearty Laughter, of excitement and achievement. 

Like a Rebel in the wild Forest Skewed to his soul’s Core with a Slight unfounded conspiracy theories and family Pedigrees, his mentor disapproved of the music, then he mentioned a Thin line of thought that Jimmy and his band may have been Infected with the Premature Complications of Narcissism and naivety. 

The moment became Awkward, all smiles Disappeared… 

Meanwhile, Jasmine made a costly Assumption to which she refused to accept she was Guilty of. Apologies, were Archaic, she snubbed. She claimed that she was the Doppelgänger to the Famous Queen of England. To attend the wedding Ceremony of Prince Harry, she spent £30,000 on her 3 credit cards. Sitting Juxtaposed to the Queen on that day, she realised her vanity; she became Broken, contrite and… was later declared bankrupt. 

Retrospectively, I have enjoyed the daily prompts. I have met a lot of bloggers and have learnt a lot of new words. I will surely miss the daily prompts, hence this short piece using all the daily prompts for the month of May. 

Farewell, Daily Prompt. 
Shall we meet at Starbucks for a cup of latte? 😉

Show some attention
Tend your garden
Strike a balance
Avoid narcissism

Daily prompt: narcissism

Infectious joy
Ripples of hope 
Great expectations
Winds of destiny
Paradigm shifts
Leaps of faith
Miracle in Harlem…
God at the core

infect
