SIX HOURS, ONE FRIDAY: The Cross Story 2

-
It was a Friday like no any other one
A Friday that changes the course of all leaving none
One that mixes wailing with winning; losing and gaining
One that shows that despite the twilight the sun comes shinning
A Friday where the loving father forsakes the beloved and only begotten son
A Friday that changes the course of science and despising the rule of the sun.
It gives us hope that what looks like an END might just be a BEND.
That after night comes morning and that in a thief we can find a friend
Six hours only on this Friday we heard a new story and saw many things occur
Six consecutive hours on this Friday is how long He took him on the Roman cross
Like the hope an anchor gives the captain of a ship in a ranging storm
These six hours on this Friday gave hope beyond any form.
From these six hours on this wonderful Friday we have much hope
One this Friday we have above all three anchors in life with which we cope;

Our life is not futile- futility
Ours failures are not fatal-fatality
Our death is not final-finality

(Inspired by Max Lucado’s Six hours one Friday)

...THEN YOU WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH

-

Growing up like other kids, we like you had different thoughts and many aims and ambitions. We had dreams of many things we would love to turn out to be. Even though we never know how we will get there but one thing we knew was that we want to be what we envisioned ourselves to be. Most times we tilted our ambitions or plan as the days went by and we grew up. But ultimately we wanted to be successful and flawless. We wanted to be as good as it gets and be good enough for all to see. In our minds we flew jets, traveled all over the world, walked on the moon, stood in front of millions to talk, sing or preach, we were signing autographs, became the huge successful singer or the irreplaceable actor, great and convincing  preacher, we owned more than we probably would need for ten generations. We smiled why fans cheered, took a bow when others screamed their lungs out. Camera lights flashing, paparazzi struggling to get a piece of us. Strive to be better and much more good ...

PRESSURE BURST PIPE

In a bid to live a happy life especially that which we dream of, we most often than not put pressure on ourselves and by extension we put pressure on that one person who love us the most, if not those who care about us … partner, friend or family. It is good to have dreams and ambitions. It is also relatively extremely important we pursue them tenaciously but as we do lets always remember the CAUTION Button so that we wouldn’t have to hit the PANIC Button later on. Very Important and Most Crucial, If we forget anything DON’T FORGET THIS! PRESSURE BURST PIPE!
