AFRICAN CHILDREN

*African children*

Africa is our continent
Our glory is obvious and imminent

More than just Geography
Africa is where I am made free

Africa is many tribes and tongues
Many Lives and songs

Yet we are one
The young, the old and the unborn

Our challenges, we can't number
But through each one
We rise up stronger

The vicissitudes of life
Suffering, crises, strifes

They Try to make us bend
Yet we always mend and blend

We are African children
Through the sun and rain

We remain Strong, resilient, bold and creative
We are active and proactive

Yes we are black
We don't lack
We don't slack
We are tough front and back
And we don't crack

ABOUT LOVE

The cute guy came around and smiled at you, such that made your heart melt right inside of you and then he said Ï love you". The feeling was just indescribable, in fact you felt the whole world was revolving around you. He told you that you were the true definition of perfection and he couldn't live without you... Yes, he may have loved you, but was it really love or ??? I don't think it was love because I learnt that you cant really love someone whose assets and liabilities you cant define. Ok... you looked good; your Brazillian hair, glittering dinner dress, diamond jewelleries, flawless make-up, beautiful shoes and irresistible cologne fragrance were all in tact. He was attracted and carried away. You thought it was going to last forever...... Just after a while, he stops calling, ignores your calls, becomes too busy and gives countless excuses. It hurts, obviously true. It can actually make you feel less about yourself but here is God whispering in ...

THE PRESENCE OF LOVE

When you are in love with someone, a walk in the rain becomes a welcomed chance to share an umbrella. An unexpected snow-storm provides the setting for a quiet afternoon snuggled in front of the fireplace together. What could be bad times are good when you are with the one you love. In the same way, a growing relationship with God and appreciation for His presence beside you can give you a whole new outlook on life's storms. From a short-lived cloudburst to a long and difficult winter, adversity offers yet another occassion to draw closer to the Lord you love - and who loves you even more. Nothing can happen to you that could be too small for this protective hands or big. Nothing you will ever face could be too serious, too difficult or too lasting to keep the warmth and closeness of his comfort away from your heart. When you are in love with someone, suddenly nothing matters quite so much as the fact that you are with your beloved and your beloved is with you.... SOS 6:3 ...

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo
