I am thankful and grateful PapaGod for giving my twin bro an Angel like you for a wife and also thank u Lord for giving me an Angel as a sis-in law.

U re just one amazing twinny-sis. who brings happiness and joy to people around you.

My heart is full of joy to celebrate your special day with you all the way from Sydney Australia.

It’s now been over 30 years of knowing you through your Sweetheart, Admiral K. and doing life together with you. Praying together, crying together even, laughing together, brainstorming and envisioning the future together.

I count it a great privilege to do life with u and I would not trade you for no other twinny-sis in law in the whole wide world.

I don’t have enough words today to describe how amazing u re other than to say
All glory to God for this practical “wonder-wifey twin sis” of mine

I pray and declare that you will witness many more years of the faithfulness of God.

I pray that your latter years will be greater, healthier and more glorious than your former years.

I pray that you will live to see your children’s children and your great grandchildren.

I pray that your husband, your children, your grandchildren, and great grandchildren shall be mighty in the land and they will serve the Lord in their generation.

I pray and declare a special divine covering and protection over you, over your husband and your children and your extended family as a whole.

A TIME TO BE BORN A TIME TO DIE

It’s our special ‘birth-day’ My twin brother and I. It’s a mixed feeling really.
——
A day you are supposed to be celebrating your birthday with your twin brother has turned into a day you will forever remember the going to heaven of our
“fantaglamorious”queen sister Revd Mrs Folu Komolafe.

I remember it vividly! It was the night of June 29 2017 here in Sydney! As I was going to bed, it must have been around 11pm. I got a call from my brother who lives in Manchester. He called to wish me a “happy birthday”. He told me he was in Nigeria and was heading to the airport, on his way back to Manchester and he wanted to make sure he gave me a quick ‘happy birthday’ call.
I was so glad that he had taken time out of his full-on busy schedule to call me.

It wasn’t quite an hour after his call that another call came in. This time, It was from my big brother. He sounded very concerned and asked for urgent prayers for my sister-in-law in Manchester.

Now, this was the wife of my brother who had called an hour prior to that time.

Hubby and I prayed and went to sleep. It was later confirmed, when we woke up that my sis in law Revd Folu Komolafe, had gone to heaven.

So today my emotions are kinda mixed.

However, when I think deeply about it all, I’m still full of gratitude.  It’s still a day of joy. I’m also reminded that my time to go to heaven will come too. As the old sage in Ecclesiastes said “A time to be born and a time to die..” (Ecclesiastes 3:2)

Anyways, since heaven is a great place and since I’ll be reunited with my sister-in-law one day, I don’t need to and I won’t sorrow today.

I will still rejoice and show my gratitude to God for the gift of another year. So thank U Lord! U are awesome!

“So teach us to number our days Lord so we can apply our hearts to wisdom”. (Psalm 90:12)

«When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be.
When we all see Jesus we’ll sing and shout the victory »

Touching letter from you today bro!


Here I Grow Again
By Bob Perks

"I sat on the hill in my yard a while and wondered about the day. I wanted to know what tomorrow will bring and what to do with yesterday. I have thought these thoughts a million times and each time just gave in.

But I discovered today that the answer lies not what I’m without, but
what’s within. This grand revelation came from watching my dog play with a blade of grass. We’ve had some heavy rains the last few days and I haven’t had the opportunity to just sit outside.  But today the clouds gave way to the sun and at least for a few minutes I was able to catch up on my thinking.  It was when I looked down at a blade of grass that I discovered the answers I had been searching for all this time.  You see, no matter how many times I cut that grass it always grows back.  It thrives if there’s too much rain and survives if there is a drought. You can walk on it and it springs back up. You can dig it up and throw it somewhere else and it will grow right where it lies.

If a blade of grass can do all that, why are we so fragile?  You would think that God would have made the human being a lot more durable than that. Why is it that after a few times that life cuts you down, you decide not to grow any more?  Why is it that when we hit the dry times in our lives we curl up and die in spirit?  Why is it that when the big guys walk all over you, you don’t spring back up to where you rightfully belong?  Why is it that when life uproots your plans you can never see the potential for new growth wherever you are?  Do you think for a moment that God created a blade of grass to be more than you?

Just like the answers were in that blade of grass, so are the answers
within you. The blade of grass was God’s way of telling me to “bloom where you are planted.”  Here, I grow again!

   Lord, I would be the seed that you can sow
   And the plant that would continue to grow;
   When someone comes along and cuts me down
   I will still rise, and by your grace I will bloom."

“And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:” -Matthew 6:28
