27 Years ago at exactly this month date was I birth. I could only imagine the joy that shined on my mum's face hearing my first cry. Amid all, it's God's faithfulness and mercies that has kept me alive till date. As a lad, no one told me of the vicissitudes of life, neither was my child programming incorporated with what adulthood hood was. Whenever I see myself celebrate another year added to my years, all I see is God's mercy. As a child, I suffered an illness nobody believed I do survived, infact, when my aunty who stayed in London came back to see me grown , in amazement she said "I never believed this boy will survived". But then God's mercy kept me.
The Good parts about birthdays is not just the added years but the impact you have made within the previous years and number of accomplishment One accomplished. I read an article some time ago that talked about things one need to accomplish before he is 30, and Glory to God, I have accomplished 2/3 of them at my current age. The accomplishments gives me little joy compare to the impact I have made in the lives of others as a president in my campus, elder to some children, and God's image to the poor and needy.
I did not celebrate today in a grand style, No cake, No candle, No rice and no party, infact, i was more busy cultivating crops. I grew up in a society where birthday was not esteemed , sometimes we even forget it's our birthday.lolz. work was our slogan.
I appreciate God first for life which is most important and that I have been able to build a source of income , own lands, own a house, almost completing my degree programme, gave for the needy, building a foundation for reaching the poor and the Grace and favour I see from friends. Each day I have learned and this learning process has build me to the man I am today.
I also appreciate the wonderful friends I have made on this platform, it has not been all about earning but also about learning and building connection.
Once again, I ThankGod for life and a happy birthday to me.
