DAY 48

THANK GOD IT IS ANOTHER FRIDAY

I cannot stop loving Fridays. They just always come bright and beautiful. Imagine today it rained early hours and the sun is back up. I probably love Fridays because of that great day 14th October, so many years ago back then in the late eighties I guess, the day I breathed my first breadth on mother earth.

I have actually had a few bad Fridays, there are two which are stuck in my memory, how I wish one of them fell on the jinxed day which is called Friday the 13th. I have never shared what happened on any of those days with anybody but I know one of my sisters will have a clue. I almost jumped in a big gutter on purpose, let me say I wanted to try something new or rather maybe suicide. The other one I merely wished I could jump off a moving bus into the Atlantic from West Africa’s longest bridge, the story is left for another day.

Today was exceptionally different, I got visited by a girl who I will call my friend. My name was announced and down the staircase running thinking it was my younger sister with mouth watering goodies for a one and only brother, to my surprise I saw a girl in the same colour as me (Army Green), breadth taking memories rushed back, the history of the past, those library moments, the Lekki paroles, hospitality room, galleria outings, chapel sittings etc.

We talked for awhile even though my mind was not there, I had travelled far away, but were was my mind actually I was not even looking at her mouth moving but I was hearing her voice I can remember.

She handed me a package of gifts which I was grateful for, but the peak of our moment together was that a great choice has to be made by Sunday sundown time. I pray my choice is what looking for, God grant me the grace even though I know which ever choice I make is going to be half chance.

I have cultivated a culture of telling God before I step out of my room everyday that I will either bless someone or I will be blessed, well the usual happened today I got blessed splendidly and am very grateful to God for making this happen because every item was highly needed. Thanks to YOU also.
