I once overheard a lady complaining about her employer checking in to see if she’d shown up to the boutique. “By morning there are no sales anyway. She just wants to know that I’m there. I don’t even get her mschew,” she grumbled. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony—having been an employer myself […]

When exercising first thing in the morning, your thoughts—biblically speaking—should probably begin with gratitude. After all, Psalm 118:24 reminds us, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” So, before you even start thinking about how sore your muscles might be tomorrow, it’s good to acknowledge […]

Ah, the sweet thrill of receiving that big cheque! For a moment, you feel like you’ve cracked life’s secret code. But hold up—don’t let it fool you. Sure, you could bask in that fleeting glory, but remember, cheques don’t solve problems—they just delay the inevitable! You were going to invest in your business, upgrade your […]

Every morning, I wake up to the sweet aroma of ripe mangoes—ripe not just in theory but in their full yellow, luscious reality—dangling from a tree that I planted four years ago. You’d think I’d be feasting on nature’s bounty, right? Well, think again. The monkeys, my uninvited tenants, seem to have signed a long-term […]

The daughter had apparently lost her notes or forgotten them—or maybe it was some other elusive teenager logic that only teenagers […]

Let’s have a moment of prayer for them, shall we? You know, the ones who apparently forgot how to be supportive when I was drowning in grief. When they prayed for me, tears came down my face like I was Niagara Falls on a bad day. My cheeks were on fire, my eyeballs felt like […]

In John 15:16, the Lord commands us to bear fruit and for that fruit to endure. Recently, a brother visited my home, gave his life to Christ, and was baptized. This was a beautiful moment, and I shared it with a sister, who told me that she had taken him to church where he was […]

Gamaliel was a teenager with a deep love for a clean environment. He grew up in a community where people often littered without a second thought, leaving trash scattered around their homestead. He didn’t like seeing his surroundings dirty, so he took it upon himself to clean up after others. Day after day, year after […]
