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

Marriage is like Sky Diving ...

First of all, let me show you some precautions for skydiving: 1. Safety is EVERYONE'S responsibility. 2. Don't ever get complacent. 3. Review your emergency procedures before the jump. 4. Get a gear check before the jump. 5. Always approach the plane from the rear. 6. 200 jumps are required before undertaking the jump. 7. Perform handle checks before preparing to exit the plane. 8. Be very aware of everyone around you at break-off. 9. Be mentally prepared for malfunctions and always be ready to perform your emergency procedures. 10. Know which way is North, South, East, and West on the jump. Now, simulate that to marriage and you have an amazing recipe for a sensible marriage experience. I say sensible because that should be the baseline for any marriage. And also some marriages I see these days are so insensible. Please take note of the following if you are about to undertake a skydive (marriage): 1. This action is dangerous. It gives a high. Yes. It's very satisfying. Yes

I've been encountering some amazing posts recently! Please read! E. I. Oputa approves this post! *** Copied *** SCISSORS COUPLES: 👫✂✂✂ I needed to use the scissors this morning & as I finished with it, I looked at it carefully & I saw that, the scissors models an ideal couple. Let's see some lessons every couple should learn from the scissors so that we can become better couples & build enviable homes. LESSON 1: The scissors is always in pairs & that's where its usefulness is. Once you see one part & the other part is not there, it is useless no matter how beautiful it is. The effectiveness of every marriage is lost when couples are not together. Separation & divorce destroy the effectiveness & usefulness of every marriage. Remember, 'united we stand, divided we fall'. Separation is not only when you separate physically & you are no longer living together. There are many couples who are together under the same roof but are spirituall
