Njeri for the community

Hello y'all. It's another season to return to the Lord. He is calling us all that He may mend us, and restore His glory in our lives.

At the end of the day, and when all is said and done, at the end, it boils down to family.

I tell you my sister, my brother, both young and old; consider your family, cherish them, hold them dear, love them, in fact; include them in your affairs.
You may be famous, with a big title, with riches, poor; in whatever state. At the end, you end up with your family. When lost, when proud, when sick, when big, small, however... your family will be sought.
They say youth and young adults have rights. They are told they can withhold information from you. But when trouble comes knocking they ask them about their family! When it's too late they want to give you the information they withheld.

Who wants to know when it's too late?
Of what benefit is that information?

Many have been lost when they were pursuing their rights and liberty. They didn't realize that we need each other at every stage of our lives.

I tell you, whatever you do, hold your loved ones dear and close.
When trouble comes, you will not see those friends who advised you to push your family away.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children’s children

Psalms 103:17

I always say that people should always do good, and treat others right. Many people want to treat others with dislike, disrespect, dis..everything... the same people expect good from others, for no one expects to be treated otherwise.
Just remember that the people/crowd/world is always watching. Some of us have gotten away with/escaped even after all they do is treat others with hate, disrespect etc, and not as they would wish to be done to them.
Wait until the world decides to give you a taste of your own medicine 💊... utajua hujui. Watch your ways and consider doing good for once, and going forward!

The Bible says do good...even to those who do you evil....

Knowledge is power. Share it with your family, neighbors, community, church, country, and all around you. It will change you all, it may take a while, but the fruits will be enjoyed by generations to come.

The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

Psalms 29:4-5

All glory be to God!

The pain of losing a loved one is unexplainable. It is personal. So personal that all of us grief in their own unique way. Some heal quickly, some act strong, some get depressed, some will never show emotion, and there are many more. It does not matter whatever category you fall in, but you fall somewhere.

We go on with life after the loss of a loved one because we got to. But deep inside some are left behind as others move on. You feel that you remain in the very day or days immediately after the death event happened. You try to move on and get busy, and try to fit in your daily activities like you did before the season.

I know you, YES, you, may feel you were left in this season and you've been living there since, as others moved on! And you think everyone has left you behind, and you are on your own in that season....but guess what? Imagine most, if not all, are still there with you! It's just that physically, and emotionally, you cannot feel the pain of that your brother, or your sister, or that cousin, or that significant other.

So, just know we are all there hanging in there, trying to hold our tears inside 😢 trying to act strong for your kids etc....but we are just there trying....we are mourning.

Again, you know what, mourning is ok. Grief is part of this life. All of us will go through such seasons at one point or another as long as we are in this life.
Please know that we are many in this grieving process. Somewhere on that road, we are there, at different stages and stops. But we are all there!

Lastly, but not least, you will always be on that path once you lose someone. Yes. Because they are you are their loved one, and your blood, and you made memories in your lives, some that were very tight, and amazing, and great, and awesome, and lasting, and all the good things you only know!
So, we are to remain here because it is normal, and because it is part of life.

Unfortunately, no one was ever able to prepare us for this journey. Because there's never any better way of doing it. Yes. This pain.

It is natural pain, we are supposed to live through it. Fathom that. Talk to people who are close to you, and especially family, once you get in that path. Talk to them often, and bother them a lot, especially when you feel troubled. Cry when you feel to, it really brings relief!
You may not know it, and you may not feel it, but most of us are here with you. In fact, all of us are on here, just on different stages of the grief process.

And as I write this, I have been heavily burdened, carrying all this weight, but I cry, I talk about it, I try all I can, but I stand strong. Sometimes it's too much....but I am here still. With you, and you, YES! And you too!

Let's keep going....let's keep fighting 💪 it's our journey.

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.

Psalm 24:1-2

FB has been around as a social media platform the longest. I wonder if I could find a long-lost friend through it. I know most people have since left fb for other newer and busier platforms, but they are still members.... can you possibly help me find my friend?

Your day may have not yet come to become a millionaire, a graduate, a director, and so on and so forth.
BUT, God's time is coming when your wish will be granted and you will be waaay past that which you desire today.
So, what are your plans for when you get there, and when your blessings overflow?

My brother, my sister, start with Thanksgiving right now, start to plan, start to marktime; start to practice;

For the Lord will make it happen for you that which you think is impossible,
And when it comes to pass you may not be able to comprehend it,
For it is exceedingly, abundantly, above all, that you will ever think, ask, or imagine!

So then, be ready now, so you will be able to enjoy your blessings in full, and so they do not overwhelm you!

When all around us is the wickedness and evils that were prophesied in Chist times, let us resolve to, and run to Jesus Christ; the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Life is for the living. Wee.... every day spent on this earth is very precious. Let us live life graciously and with lots of thanks to our Lord, Jesus Christ. Once your life is over, it's really gone. Gone, completely.
What a sad truth. Indeed, life is short.
