Christmas Boxing day

History made us aware that today is the day gift boxes are given to people who earn less in the society. This could be servants, tradespeople or those considered as poor. Some said it is a time when churches collect money for their less privileged members.

This is a good way of making impact in the society. I have come across people organising cookouts for today. This is highly commendable. All these consolidates the fact that Christmas is a period of giving regardless.

As a child, I looked forward to the church bazaar on this day which is accompanied by Grandma buying us rice from her women organisation. We would go from one canopy to the other. She get to show off her grandkids too.

Oh! This is accompanied by meeting different uncles, aunties and friends to celebrate Christmas by means of giving cash. We would literally say “gbara m Christmas”. This means celebrate Christmas for me by giving me something. It was fun as we turn out to get richer by the end of that day.

Anyways, one of the things I enjoy the most about Christmas is the Christmas carols. I love the songs as they bring so much memories.

More like these songs take you home to Nazareth🏡

How is your Boxing day going? I wanna reread from you.

May all you want this Christmas ⛄ come through ❤️

Giving Alms

Hi Friends, I want to remind us today about giving alms. I know it’s something we are all aware of.

However, my question to you today is “when was the last time you helped the poor?”

Is it something of the past?

Are you aware they poor people still exist?

Are you aware that you are better off than some people?

Are you aware of those around you who are in need of one want or the other?

Have you been a victim where you feel cheated and think you do not need to cater for the needy anymore?

Remember the we ought to do good always, regardless.

Only our heavenly father who sees in the secret will reward us.

We are all in a battle to be better humans and greater versions of ourselves.

We need Gods grace, else we cannot do much on our own.

Do you remember the bible that says that giving alms covers multitude of sins?

The bible verse above adds that this kind act of generosity should be done in secret. We live in the era of social media when everything appear to be better publicised. However, as humans we should know what is expected of us at all time.

We shouldn’t be quick to please humans, feed our ego and displease God. Thereby, blocking the blessings that awaits us.

All in all, do good and give alms to the poor.

Sending you God’s blessings.
