DEAR DAUGHTER IN LAW

Dear Daughter in Law

I hope this message finds you well? I know that at the time of writing this message, only GOD Almighty knows who you are and what you are doing. I pray that you are well? I pray that you are doing your homework and listening to your Mother's instructions and your father's advice. I pray that your earthly daddy is in your life and showing you the way you should live so that you will never depart from it. May they invest in helping you to be a might woman of valor, one of great integrity, humble and yet strong willed. Loving and yet not easily festered or cowed into submission for the wrong reasons. May you be of strong character and will

My son - your husband- has spent most of today typing away at his laptop. He is undertaking online classes. I hope that you are also doing the same, or at least you are under some form of academic instruction since COVID-19 and the subsequent lock-down has created a 'new normal' as they call it (or dispute it).

Whichever country you belong to, and whichever tribe or colour of skin you might have, I pray that you will honour the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your ways. I would like you to know that we are doing our best right now to raise your husband well. Yes- he is growing into a tall lanky fellow with a handsome face. He is still cheeky and loves to play football. He is also quite humble and respectful of his elders (or at least most of them - his rebuttals to his sisters notwithstanding)

I just want you to know that we are doing our part and with God's help, he will be a responsible, God fearing, loving and agile husband. We continue to pray for you and for him and for our future grandchildren. 

AMEN for now 07.07.2020

CLOSE YOUR EYES


Listen …..
Do you hear them?
The birds are chirping
The insects are buzzing
The wind is whispering
The kids are giggling
Your heart is beating
Do you hear them?
This is life
In spite of COVID 19
