Watch them Grow

Could I be A Book! While working around the house,i wondered where one of the little fellows was.I looked at the play area and I could not see Him, I went to the Kitchens,bedrooms and checked around the living room and I did not see him. Panic struck me where could he have disappeared to. So I went ahead towards the door so as to find out whether he had gone out. Next to the door is a bookshelf, Lo! and behold, the boy had moved the books in one of the shelves to make space and he was lying right on the second shelf ,sharing the space with the books! In my shock, I carried him out and was left wondering, what was the thinking behind this? May be the Psychologists would help me understand the child's action. I reflected on adults behavior as I helped the little fellow rest in a place I thought was more comfortable than the shelf. Are there times we loose our identities and behave as though we are other people? May be due to peer pressure we copy what our friends do,or ...

I walked into the house the other day. It was a lovely evening.I found my son with his nanny and my sister. I could hear the house was calm with the two girls engrossed in their conversation happily. The boys were playing.When i knocked the door, the little boy heard my voice and he begun crying as if some one had beaten him up.I wondered what caused the change.on exploring , I realized that he wanted tender loving care that was actually to be held close so that he naps. As I held him it took very short and the little fellow fell asleep. I thought about the cry,the confidence to come and be held and the peaceful sleep in my hands and I thought ,do we ever feel lonely yet in a crowd? Are there times we long to be held, feel accepted and appreciated without feeling judged?where do we go to find solace? do we battle with all those feelings and be left desolate?How can you take care of the needs that it seems no one else understands? I believe that God wants us to learn to cast our ca...

Early Riser You would think that he has an inborn alarm clock! At four in the morning he is up and when he wakes up all the people around him who matter must be woken up! It does not matter whether they are fully rested or not.The methods of waking them up vary from shouting aloud,coming to their beds and hitting them to get them up or just climbing on them. If it doe not work then a shrill sound of cries all with the pain of frustration break into the quiet morning! That is my one and a half year old. Now this level of persistence baffles me! Do you know that is how we need to relate with the lord? Loving Him so much that we want His presence in our lives any time any moment and when we feel we are not in close fellowship then we cry out to Him. He is there, He hears us as we call and as we pray. Fortunately with our Father in heaven,we may not get to the level of helpless calling out for help,He will make us aware that He is there with us and for us just when we call!Such an ama...

children grow in different ways.As we watch them grow, alot goes on in our minds.My seven year old son the other day was so excited to see his grand father.the last time he saw him was eight months ago.The reason as to why they have not met for so long is the distance from our home and where the grandparents live. The two spent a long day together playing and then the boy came to the kitchen to speak to me.He then said "mom Do you know that grand dad is super old?" .I stopped to check him out and thought woe!If the grand parent is super old so what am I?That gave us time to discuss about growth and how at times it takes so long to age and how our features change in the process.As we think about the children's growth,a light bulb goes on and enables us to rethink life! I write this in memory of my late mother who was such a great loving mother Rachael Shivogo Andolo.She was my first teacher and she helped me grow into the mother I am. Indeed family is great
