ThanK You God,
Top of the morning to you all. It's raining and cold in France but I cannot complain. I give all the glory to God cos He says in evevry situation we should give thanks.
This morning I was going to talk about fashion and style as usual but I decided to go a little bit religious on all of us.
You know that feeling you get when you have something you don't deserve but you have it anyway.....
Well that's what I'm talking about and being thankful to God.So many of us are in positions that we never dreamed of and then act like everything fell on your lap.
Let me tell you a story- There was this day I was coming home from work and met this French man. On a good day I wouldn't have spoken to him but he walked up to me and asked me if I spoke English and I replied him yes and that I do teach English as a language professionally. He asked me if I could teach him and his family the English language and I said why not ( i had begun to calculate how much i was going to make from the family and arrange a package for them and keep them on my bill for a long time). On the first day of our lesson I went with my son cos I couldn't get a baby- sitter for him and I had started conjuring all the lies I was going to tell so that they could keep my kid around. I walked into the house first of all see mansion (omo it is not beans oo) and everything in that house looked so beautiful and they walked out to welcome us (ie mother and father). I started apologising for coming with my son and they didn't even mind and told me the more the merrier. I was to say the least surprised cos French people do not mix family and business especially if they are the ones paying. They were so nice to my son and after a while I began to ask for their children cos it seemed somewhat bizaar that the kids hadn't come out cos through pleasantries I could easily put them on the level of English language they knew and get to work, at this moment they asked me to follow them and there on the bed were the kids who looked very okay but they couldn't move, everything was done for them through the use of machines and I didn't know when I asked to be excused and started crying in the bathroom. As for my pikin he was just having a field day and playing around and each time I tried to scold him they would say (laisse lui jouer) ie let him play. Each time I walked into that house I always left thanking God for the life I have and that of my family. I may not be a millionaire but I have what millionaires would wish for. This also goes for all our brothers and sisters back home in Africa, most of us live by the grace of God back there and it should be enough for us to give Him thanks all the days of our lives. Over here in Europe it may look like they have it all but .......... e still remain.
Have a wonderful day folks
xoxo
