Gratefulness becomes really natural when rendered in the face of uncertainty and adversity.
i write this piece today not solely cause of the Gratitude challenge by @tojukaka but also for the fact that i am 100 percent grateful for the fact that i'm alive ,i can walk, talk, see, hear, and lots more without the help of any other person.
At this point it doesn't make me better or holier than any other but just for the single massive GRACE upon me. i'm obviously not holy ,i mess up daily in the face of God , i get angry , i say some crazy things , i doubt myself and God at some point ...the truth is i'm a sinner but God has continually given me a chance after another.
See, some weeks back i went to a popular market in Nigeria (Ariaria market, Aba, Abia State) to get some clothing i normally sell in school to make some little money for upkeep.
On my way coming back to school, sitting in front of the bus with the driver, we got to an army checkpoint and and the army guys asked all the guys in the bus to step out and pull their shirts in search of tattoos on their bodies.
Surprisingly, they found a cultist ,i guess through the tattoo marks on his body... well i'm not saying or i'm not sure either if he was actually a cultist but obviously felt the blood running through my veins when i heard two gun shots coming from the back of a building where this young guy was taking to by the military men.
In summary, i'm for ever grateful for LIFE ...its one gift many in the mortuary would love to have. Got lot more to be thankful for but this does summarises it. For with gratitude comes more GRACE.
Thanks @tojukaka for this opportunity to share...Oluwa bless and keep you.
