REFLECTIONS OF THE MAN WITH A GOOD NAME
Of what need is "the Resolution" without "a Reflection?"
I could not wait for 2015 to end; it wasn't so pleasant a year after all. So I began 2016 with a very high expectation, hoping for better days ahead. The best I could say was that my 2016 began and also ended in praise.
Many thanks to God, but of what benefit was my "praise" to the next person?
Beyond the praise, what value did I add to life in 2016? Of what benefit was my life in 2016 to God and humanity?
Did I observe steady growth in my spiritual life? Did I get better academically, emotionally and socially? Did I become the Super-dad I have always wanted to be?
When last did I:
- Help someone out of his sick bed with my prayers?
- Care for the destitute with my present?
- Share God's word with a stray soul?
- Give food to the hungry?
- Comfort the afflicted?
- Visit and care for old and dying people?
- Was the misfortune of others a prayer point or a gossip topic?
- Nigeria for now seems not to have competent economic managers, how did I manage mine?
- Did I have a budget at all?
- How much did I get, earn or make in 2016, do I even know?
- What was my total expenses for 2016?
- On what did I spend my money?
