WHAT YOU NEED IN THIS PERIOD


Stay strong, because things will get better. Let everyone know that you are stronger than you were yesterday and you will always be. 

Your present situation is not your final destination. Be brave in holding on and continuing strong. Life won't get any easier, therefore, you will just have to get stronger. True strength is discovered when everything is falling apart but you have the strength inside you to keep them all together. 

You are not weak if you are reading this. Whatever this wonderful thing called life throws at you, you can get through it. 

It may knock you down in a way but there is always a ladder of opportunity waiting for you to climb up higher than before. Nobody can climb a ladder from the top.

Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. Never give up on trying to figure out solution to present challenges.

God will only bless the little effort that you put in place, He is not a magic professor that many of us read about years ago.

We survived meltdown, inconclusive, cashless, we will survive and sing new song after subsidy remover period.

The good or bad we do will live with us and after us. 

I choose to be good, what about you?

It is another end of the week. Relax and make positive plans to get up, try your best and support it with prayer points.

Purpose of Holidays for Children

Holiday refers to a short period of time that one spends doing leisure activities. Holidays are expected to be spent by children through visiting of friends, and relatives to have more sense of belonging, extended family experiences and learn about culture. It is wrong to engage children in extra school lessons or special coaching centres during this period if they are not having deficiencies. They need some recreational activities and artistic knowledge/skills as well.

Many parents of today spent their holidays in their family compounds and/or villages with grandpas, grandmas, cousins, nephews, aunts, uncles etc. and gained a lot of social, educational, farming, religious, cultural and native intelligence experiences. Do not let us deprive these children of their rights in the name of modernisation or civilisation. They need more than school environment experiences to cope with our ever-changing society. While exposing them to family, creative, and leisure activities, we should be watchful and prayerful.  

Words with same Meaning as Holidays:

  1. vacation.
  2. break.
  3. leave.
  4. hols.
  5. recess.
  6. relaxation.
  7. rest.
  8. sabbatical.
