Amaka's Take

   The enslaved, perceived, discounted beings, are those being under our care, that we treat like trash, like they don't matter. Those house helps, drivers, cleaners, paid workers, foster children you maltreat, you look down on, are all perceived discounted beings.    The above attitude towards those we ought to care for cut across the globe. You will discover as you read the extract below....between Nick and an Indian officers in his book "half the sky...." As Nick filed out some required paper work at the border post, Nepalis streamed into India without filling out a form. While sitting in the border shack, he began talking with one Indian officer. The man said he has been dispatched by the intelligent bureau to monitor the border. Nick :- So, what exactly are you monitoring?

Tips on how to live responsibilities... Be faithful to God and his status. Be time conscious. Be respectful and humble. Picture yourself in your children. Your children don't remind you of late school fees. Your children don't report issues to you, because the other party failed to keep to promise. You earn their trust, build their trust in you(you become their diary). You sow into your family, you reap what you sow(Eli a good example). You teach undiluted honesty. You monitor your children's spending(you know about every cash on them). You don't cage your children. You are a role model. And lastly, be the cook, nurse, banker, cleaner, teacher, wife and mother.

You don't expect people to be good to you, because you were good to them, like this, you don't get hurt, just expect people to be who they are...when they are good to you because you were good to them, then its not genuine, they are only paying back or pretending to be good. If you don't expect people to be good to you because you were good to them, like this, you don't get hurt or disappointed, especially by friends. Do good knowing your reward don't have to come from the same person, hope its real. Let the law of doing good be inborn, let it come from within. One good turn deserves what it get....

Morning devotion as a Parent Morning devotion should be taken seriously in homes. And today's morning devotion went well and we did read the bible on creation story....we were just marvelling about the power of God and some questions came up while we were sharing,its on Gen 1:11 and 1:16 & 17 11.Then he commanded. "Let the earth produce all Kinds of plants,those that bear grain and those that bear fruit" and it was done.... How come we have nuts? You may not know,that nuts(cashew nut,groundnut,palm kernel,coco nut)are gotten from fruits.God is all knowing. 16.So God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the  night,he also made stars. The stars are for what purpose? Verse17 answers the question on the purpose of stars.....He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth.(to beautify) In a nut shell,children will always be children,they will ask all manner of questions. What this is telling us, is we should...
