The Reason for Christmas

Everyone loves Christmas, everywhere around the world. The atmosphere of joy and the spirit of happiness and thanksgiving with our family and friends for a successful year. But do we know the real reason why we  celebrate Christmas?? We celebrate Christmas because of the birth of our lord, Jesus Christ. He was born in the city of Bethlehem in Israel,  just to save you and me and the entire world from the slavery and the bondage of sin. Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day on earth to come as a bridge to connect us humans back to God. To restore the original plan of creation back as it was. That we will be reunited with God in spirit and in our hearts. So, as we sit around with our family and friends over big fried turkey and chicken to eat and drink in celebration, let us remember ourselves and  also remember  the people who need to hear about the salvation message that Jesus Christ has brought to the world through his birth.. Someone must tell them the salvat...

Understanding Why We Do Good/Show Kindness

Let us not do good or be kind to other people because it makes us feel good, but because it is the right thing to do and needs to be done. As humans, natutally, we want so much to be appreciated for our good works  or to receive praises or  recognition from others. As we celebrate Christmas, do an act of good to somebody, show kindness to a stranger but when you do, don't expect anything else in return. And just watch how your life will turn around in the coming year of 2020. Remember,  the good or the act of kindness that is remembered throughout generations are the ones we do  out of sacrifice not out of convenience. *Kwame Sarpong*

ETIQUETTE

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to; 2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the other person remembers asking for it  from  you. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes; 3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. If possible ask them to order their choice of food for you; 4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem; 5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior.  You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public; 6. If you take a taxi with a friend a...

Love Was Her

Are you addicted to looking for love?? Are you constantly searching for the "right one" someone to love you? I grew up as the only child of my parents. My dad, an oil tycoon and my mother, a pioneer beauty care entrepreneur. I have never really lacked for nothing. Except one thing was missing; Finding love, or as I liked to call it  "Finding true love" My work as an events entrepreneur got me to meet a lot of people outside my small suburban office in Paris, France. My friends tried hooking me up on a date a million times but most of them didn't really work out. The few ones that did never went beyond a year sadly. Because I was very needy and was always craving for attention and love from these women when they were not equally emotionally ready to give one (same feeling) of love in return. I would regularly be giving out expensive gifts and presents when they had not really required of it. By doing all these, I was hoping to buy their love and affection. Bu...

I Really Miss Him

Do you have a husband or a wife you don't talk to much  because he/she made you very angry or upset.?? I loved waking up everyday in the morning to read his short love messages hidden under my pillow and to the the smell of his breath and the kiss on my forward to say; Good morning beautiful, how do you do. He would then carry me out of bed so I can go take my shower and make breakfast ready for our two kids before they go to school. Later I will make his favourite coffee with milk and omelette for him for both of us to enjoy before we both leave together for work. John enjoyed driving me to work and picking me up after work every day. Even though I had my own car, he never allowed me to drive myself to work. He will often say... "I love for us to talk to ourselves, argue, make jokes agree and disagree on issues we both don't understand about each other and our lives. We did that everyday in every possible mood you can ever imagine; the bad arguments mostly, the I'...

Build Up Your Own Man

He was having his supper today in his office That was when a female co-worker  joined him. Hi there handsome, you're really looking good today. You're looking so fine I can eat you up, she said. I thought I have told you several times to stay away from me woman. I'm a married man. Can you respect that at least? Oh come on, don't be shy, I won't bite. Just try me tonight. I've been admiring your cuteness in this office for so long. I can't hide my feelings for you anymore. You really turn me on she said, have I told you that? Take me anywhere you want tonight handsome and just have fun with me all you like. I'm all yours tonight baby boy. Can we go now?? She asked. No. I'm not going anywhere with you tonight or tomorrow. I'm married and besides you are nothing like my wife. You're not even half the woman my wife is. You girls of today are very lazy, you think sex, beauty, great body shape and curves are all it takes to get a man. Don...

The Greatest Happiness Formular Is Being Content

Last year, a customer came by my shop and dropped off a bag for repair. When I opened the bag to fix the zip, I found some pieces of jewelry in one of the pockets. I didn't realise it at first but then I looked closer and saw that it was made of real gold. I would have probably made a lot of money If I  had sold it for cash. Because you know,  I'm a very poor old Indian man. Maybe it would have solved all my problems and I wouldn't have had to work so hard again in my life. But something stopped me. I don't know why, but I just kept the jewelry back in the bag and I continued working. A few days later, the lady returned to collect her bag and I gave it back to her and I told her about the jewelry. She was surprised, shocked and relieved at the same time. She asked if she could take a photo of me and I said yes and she  left. And I had already forgotten about it. Until one day when one of my friends came running towards me with a newspaper in his hand. He showed it t...
