KIDS CELEBRATION TIME!

-


Being a father is one of the greatest pinnacles of my life. You've not known the meaning of life until you see a mini-you showering you with love untainted.
Children do not see defects, mistakes, short comings, e.t.c. They love you as you are, with all your poverty and low self esteem. A child gives and gives and gives ..... and when you think this is the end they surprise you by giving yet again.
You may ask what can a child possibly give? They came with nothing!
How wrong you are! They came with everything that matters!
  1. They bring hope.
  2. They have energizing smiles. 
  3. Their laughter ----- it's something else.
  4. Their noise - (have you been in a large home without children? it's the most depressing place ever). 
  5. Their jokes. Lord have mercy! My daughter keeps my stomach on perpetual ache with her own brand of comic relief.
  6. They bring motivation. Nothing pushes a man to success like the thought of being able to provide for your family. You'll do what you never imagine you could do. 
  7. They offer comfort. My son gives the best HUG ever. He's just 1 year old. 
  8. They bring beauty and fulfillment. 
  9. They are your second chance. Children are like arrows in the hand of a warrior. You may not be able to affect / influence your world because you see too much of your short falls - but your child is your chance to fashion what you may consider as an "effective perfection" to AFFECT your world.
  10. Children are BLESSING MAGNETS! They are a blessing themselves but more than that they attract blessings to you and not only in the material or financial sense.

My motivation for this post is to encourage all my single brothers out there, there is a whole lot to marriage other than just choosing a life partner. Children are an amazing part most people do not factor in. (By the way consider your children before choosing your spouse. All those dragon tattoos on the breast will just NOT do!😂😂🤣
God bless our kids!!!🙏

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

An unhealthy lifestyle will raise your blood pressure over time. And the higher your blood pressure becomes, the higher your risk of having a stroke or heart attack in the future. But the good news is that if you have high blood pressure, healthy changes will help to bring it down. And you don't have to wait until you have high blood pressure to make healthy lifestyle changes. The more you can reduce your blood pressure, the lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke will be. 1. Blood Pressure Diet - Eat less salt Too much salt raises your blood pressure, so it is important to eat as little as possible. In fact, some people with high blood pressure may be able to avoid blood pressure medicines by cutting down on salt. Most of the salt you eat is not what you add to your food, but is in prepared foods like bread, breakfast cereals and ready meals. Don’t add salt to food when cooking or at the table. When shopping for food, check the labels and choose low-salt o

CAUTION! WHY THE RACE TO MARRY?

Hello friends, One of the greatest experiences a person could gain in this world is one that comes from the relationship of having a HOME - a FAMILY! One of the greatest failings in gleaning this great experience is seeing it as a destination and not a journey. A family is not an achievement! It is not a result! A symbol of hierarchy or status! It is not a possession! A product or reward of years of work or turmoil! Thinking it is the above is one of the underlying factors for a lot of marital failures. Do NOT get married because: Your friends are getting married You are of age. You have acquired "sufficient" wealth for it. You deserve it. In this part of the world, students are used to the process of a result from an examination after a term of schooling. Or for workers, the process of a wage after a month or period of work. Marriage should not be seen in this light. Bone of my bones! Flesh of my flesh! My very soul-mate! The one that completes me! The one person wh

5 BENEFITS OF TAKING ON MORE CHORES AT HOME (FOR MEN)

1. It's natural: If you as a man are the stronger vessel, it is natural that you should shoulder more responsibility so that the weaker vessel won't crumble under the weight. It's almost like you were built for it. 2. It's a bonding opportunity: When you undertake domestic chores at home, your children see it and are motivated to help out thus ensuring some amazing family bonding time. 3.  It's romantic: There isn't a woman alive who will not get under immense romantic pressure when her man takes or shoulders her stress away. Gratitude is a nice feeling that often builds up to a nice night! 4.  It truly helps the woman: When she gets the much needed time to rest, she can finally look as beautiful as you met her. You truly can't expect her to look trim and sexy when she's always stressed out as a result of too much chores. 5.  It's unifying: Sharing in simple tasks like bathing the children, doing the d
