N100 Worth of Time

** SUNDAY UPDATES **

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man. "

SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily. "

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make N100 an hour."

SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow N50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that N50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the N50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have N100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of us working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

Do remember to share that N100 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours.
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

SUNDAY

Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me he died on
Calvary

Mercy there was great, and grace was free
Pardon there was multiplied to me
There my burdened soul found liberty at
calvary

OLAMILD : {screams} CALLLLLLLVARYY

By God's word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned to

OLAMILD: {screams} CALLLVARYYYYYYYY

I believe I was the loudest when it came to the 'CALVARY' part. It was the only line I knew in the hymn that was rendered at church. I know we've all had similar experiences. When we hear a song, we mumble and sing silently until it gets to the part we really know. Service was fun and we give thanks to God for that. I came home to clean the house and I headed out with my sis. We volunteered to represent 9ja by dancing at the international concert that was held at WCC. We met with 2 other girls from Nigeria and we quickly changed to our outfits...

Nothing fancy- a tanktop, black leggings, green glittery wrapper, beads representing the nigerian flag, green and white strings attached/braided into our hair...I believe one of the girls has the pictures. If it turns out well, I'll share some. We danced to 'Coupe Decale' by teeyah. We represented Nigeria with our outfit and represented a huge part of Africa with the dance moves. We walked all sorts of traditional steps into the dance...sparkle was even trying to work soulja boy into it.. DOn't tell her i told you o. Oh well everyone got to do as they pleased when it got to the free styl portion. All of the other steps were co-ordinated by me.

Announcer: I introduce you all to a group called AREWA from Nigeria (lights dim)

Audience: Yayyyyyyy (applause)

We walk up to the stage and stood there for good 2 mins and the music did not start. Thank God I was closer to the exit.. I exited to find out what was going on and they said our CD did not read... what? 4 where? I had to get the girls off the stage, while the audience gave them a round of applause... We went to the tech pple and they gave us a CD that says Nigerianne. WHAT? THat's not our CD. My Cd says Coupe Decaler teeyah....talk of commotion, anger, 9ja madness... we were roaming the halls grumbling. I just went to my car and got another CD (thank God i had extras) and we went back after the columbian pple did their dance.

What if I didn't have an extra cd? Imagine if it was you, what would you have done?

FAMILY-What It should be

Hello Everybody

I want to thank you all for your love and support. Special thanks to all that have been to my bravejournal. Now I see why My sis is addicted to this blogspot thingy...una don poison am with loff. Oh well I hope everyone had a great weekend. My own weekend was just okay and I thank God for it. I have been busy shopping for the accessories to use on saturday. I am one of the bridesmaid for an older friend of my family. she's getting married this saturday and i wish her the very best.

OLAMILDLOVITA PRODUCTIONS- WHAT A FAMILY SHOULD LOOK LIKE

I did a post on family. Those that went to my other blog would have seen it but I felt I should show you a lil bit of it. I said the post was going to lead to a story which I will post very soon. You have to know the foundation of something to get the full thingy so here it is..

It all starts with then and .

<-- This would have been perfect but we tend to forget that it takes two to tango................A family should consist of a Mother, Father, and child/children. All others such as cousins, nieces, uncles, aunts come afterwards. The America that I know today cannot tell me anything about family. I have numerous friends from here that don’t even know their dad. How do you raise a kid right when you yourself have no morals? How do you correct a child when you have no time for the child? How do you tell a child that she has to be nice to her brothers and sisters? The child is black, the brother is Arabic, the sister is Hispanic….all mixed up… Do we not practice what we preach? Whatever a child becomes in the future has a lot to do with the ones that brought the child up. I am not saying a child cannot make it with or without the parents, I’m only saying that a family is CLICK TO FINISH
