Touching Story



 
   A cat was so faithful
   that the woman
   could leave her baby
   with it & go out to
   attend other matters.
   She always returned
   to find the child
   soundly asleep with
   the cat faithfully
   watching over him.

   One day something
   tragic happened. The
   woman as usual, left
   the baby in the "hands"
   of this faithful cat
   and went out shopping.
   When she returned,
   she discovered rather
   a nasty scene, there
   was a total mess.

   The baby's cot was
   dismantled; his nappies
   and clothes torn to
   shreds with blood
   stains all over the
   bedroom where she
   left the child & the cat.
   Shocked, the woman
   wailed as she began
   looking for the baby.

   All of a sudden, she
   saw the faithful cat
   emerging from under
   the bed. It was covered
   with blood and licking
   its mouth as it had
   just finished a
   delicious meal.

   The woman went
   berserk & assumed
   that the cat had
   devoured her baby.

   Without much thought
   she beat the cat with
   a wood to death.

   But as she continued
   searching for the
   "remains" of her child,
   she beheld another
   scene. Close to the bed
   was the baby, who
   although lying bare
   on the floor, was safe
   and under the bed
   the body of a snake
   torn to pieces in what
   must have been a
   fierce battle between
   it and the cat, which
   was now dead.

   Then reality dawned on
   the woman who now
   began to understand
   what took place in her
   absence. The cat fought to
   protect the baby from
   the ravenous snake.

   It was too late for
   her now to make
   amends because in
   her impatience and
   anger, she had killed
   the faithful cat.

   How often have we
   misjudged people and
   "torn them to shreds"
   "with harsh words and"
   deeds before we have
   had time to evaluate
   the situation?
   It is called

     SIN OF PRESUMPTION

  *Presuming things our*
  *way without taking the*
  trouble to find out exactly
  what the situation really is.

   Little patience can
   drastically reduce major
   life long mistakes.

 "Who Are you misjudging
   right now. Don't think,"
 "what you think others
   are thinking."

   Take time to get the
   whole truth. Please be
   patient with people,
   lest you live to regret
   your actions against
   them.

   Be quick to hear but
   slow to respond and
   become angry
    (James 1:19-27).

WHAT HAPPENED TO US By: E. D. OGHRE

Is this what it has come to Is this what it has become Who would have thought so Who would have believed we will be in this form *What happened to us* I remember when we became one Who would have known this day will come What happened to the promise we made And our plans to remain one Instead it has started to fade And we have forgotten where we came from *What happened to us* What happened to love and unity What happened to peace and prosperity Instead we build division and strive And no longer value our lives We start fights and live in lies *What happened to us* I still remember our promises But now we are in pieces What happened to in health and sickness With children or in barrenness Anger or happiness What happened to i will forsake anger for your sake And follow you anywhere even into a lake *What happened to us* We said in health and sickness Wealth and wretchedness For better for worse Even though we argue and curse You will remain in my he...

Oĺòŕí Dèdòyíń By: Balogun Fatimah

Tall like a Lemonade tree, Her oval face caught my fancy. Her beam? It can make a furnace cold. Ońítèmí Dèdóyíń. Her colourful eyes, Like the feathers of a Peacock. Stared deep into my soul. Piercing my heart like a dagger. Her steps gives the ground, A fresh sound. Making footprints, Like a fairy Princess. Her calm nature? Is a sightly castle. Sitting gorgeously, Beside the beauteous ocean. A pest she can be, Whom you can't fumigate. But a jolly good fellow she is, Whom you would always admire. Her tiny hips, Adorned by Crystal illèkè Gave her bum, A new rhythm. The tree in Alààfíń's palace, Bowed to the fragrance, Of her scent. A stylish Olòŕí, She is perceived as. May Almighty God, Make my Queen, Live a long, And fulfilled life. *Ońìtèmí: My own* *Íllèkè: Waist bead* © *Balogun Fatimah Oluwatosin*
