I have been playing with this idea for a while, been ruminating over it every now and then. Thankful Monday.. .nothing too serious...rather more light hearted. You know those everyday things that we probably think we don't need to be thankful for but rather nonchalantly tend to ignore, worrying about whats less important. Losing confident in one self because you might not be able to meet your expectation. Have you ever wondered that each one has a race, our inability not to meet up shouldn't hinder the fact that we need to be thankful.
Over time I have discovered there is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks are different and our durations are different.
The only thing we have in common is the same empire. For instance, one person graduates @ age 20 and struggles for another 5 years to get a job, another might graduate @ 25 and get a job immediately.
One can marry a virgin and wait for the next decade to have the blessings of children, another lady probably after having series of abortions in her past, becomes a mother almost immediately after marriage.
A fellow becomes MD @ 38 and dies @ 56, another becomes MD @ 55 and lives to 90. What a life! Life is full of twists, turns, ups and downs and many more surprises and disappointments.
Life offers each one of us different opportunities and once an opportunity is lost, it's gone forever except by the grace of God. It is up to each one of us to patiently prepare, wait, recognise and utilise every opportunity. We learn on the way. No one knows it all or has it better. There is a reason why we all don't fall @ the same time. It's so that when one is down, weak and discouraged, the other who is strong, can encourage and lift the other person.
God never promised that the road would be easy but he promised never to leave nor forsake us. Although life is a competition, let us learn to go easy on ourselves and trust that God is working it all out for good (even if it doesn't make sense now). I know that there is a time for everything but most importantly that " it will come to pass ". Whatever trials, challenges or down time , this too shall pass and in due course, u will be up and strong again to lift up those who maybe down around u......NEVER LOSE HOPE! #bosydeprincessa

I hope you have a splendid day as you take our time to dwell on this as you go around your busy schedule today.
Thank You All!
