S0o…here you are sitting, doing whatever it is you are doing…
next you hear this bad and saddening news of an event that’s happened to someone distant; someone you probably don’t or barely know.
…
Abruptly! you exclaim;
feel sorry, only for a brief moment;
maybe say a short prayer;
and then you shrug…or sigh…and say:
“Oh well, Such is life” ;
somewhere In your subconsciousness, you say to yourself :
“Such a thing can’t/won’t happen to me” .
forgetting that we are creations of the almighty who is in control.
You forget that we are all humans and we have a sovereign God.
…
And then… BanG!
HE reminds you; HE Jolts you!!
…
The first time I had such an experience was when I received my National Youth Service Corp call-up letter… and then, I lost someone dear.
…
If there’s anything I’ve learnt, it is the fact that..
anything, anyhow, anytime can happen to anyone.
We’d do well to remember that ALWAYS.
Be thankful, ALWAYS, for what/who we have in our lives and where we are;
We should be mindful of our deeds…ALWAYS.
God’s grace and mercies…
