CARRY THAT TURKEY

Till date, I cannot kill a hen (Thou shall not murder but I love eating it). But I used to be worse off- I could not even carry a hen. I was pretty scared of them but it all changed one December evening in my teenage years. I was holidaying with my grand-uncle. They were carrying turkey into a waiting […]

HOW MUMMY KNOWS THAT MY SISTER IS SICK

Mummy has a way of detecting when my elder sister is sick. She is scared of hospitals, injections and drugs. My sister would take on house chores that Mum did not even ask for. She answers questions faster than you ask. She also talks a bit more than normal. This is all in a bid to hide the fact that […]

DADDY, COME AND SEE WHERE I FELL

I went to pick Danielle and her mum after the close of work. On arrival, Danielle came downstairs while Irewamiri was still upstairs. She greeted me and said, “Daddy, I fell down”. I did a pitiful face and told her, “Sorry dear”. The next thing I heard turned on a switch within me. She said to me, “Daddy, come and […]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Mum stepped out. Danielle stepped out also. Olive began to look around and wanted to cry. She did not know I was right behind her. I picked up her toy, got her attention and said to her, “You are not alone. I am here with you”. She beamed a smile and continued playing. I believe the Lord is asking me […]

THINGS THAT CAN SLOW YOU DOWN (3)

Marriage and Ministry took a significant leap in 2017. We were doing all we could but it seems as though all was a bit slow. In reflection now, I can identify how we switched to greater precision and made a greater impact. Marriage got better and ministry grew in impact. We have had an undefined relationship with a dear father […]

THINGS THAT CAN SLOW YOU DOWN (2)

I called on Danielle to take her bath but she kept coming up with different excuses. After a while, I picked up Olive and headed to the bathroom. Danielle began to protest asking that I bath her first. I told her, “But I kept calling you and you did not answer me”. The moment I made that statement, I knew […]

THE WAY DANIELLE WOKE UP

It was a hectic season and we had to wake up the kids pretty early to prepare them as we had to leave home early. Danielle was still quite sleepy and struggling to wake up. When I woke her up, the first thing she said was, “Where is my Aunt ?” I looked at her mum and her mum said, […]
