I'm not in "the swing " of blogging yet.
I can't find my "old ritme" also in daily life...
I'm going trough the day and do what needs to be done and i must say my thoughts are frequently "wandering" to pictures in my mind from the short visit on an other continent than Europe....
Africa to be specific Nigeria in the city of Lagos.....
People are surviving.....,struggling....A huge difference between the poor and the wealthy
Hard working woman
A country blessed with a lot of natural riches....
A lot of Sunlight and high temps
.I enjoyed the tropical weather ,the beautiful skies...., flowers and delicious fruits..........
Last thursday was THANKFUL THURSDAY
with Iris @ Grace AloneAnd
Today
Is ( or for me was.....LOL)
You can see i can't keep-up with the days and 'get in the swing" as i said......
But I am so THANKFUL for what God did for me and my family to be able to visit meet my in-laws make new bounds and relationship between us......
My kids can't get over that they met there cousins...nieces and aunts and uncles the 1st time......
We are so thankful for this visit and what we learned most profoundly is TO BE THANKFUL for especially the basic things in life....What we so take for granted everyday.......
*WATER
*ELECTRICITY
* " LAW @ ORDER"
* SAFETY
*STABILITY
* BEING ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL
*CHOICE in different things ....what to eat...,where to sleep.......
My prayers go up for
*THE COUNTRY OF NIGERIA.....to develop....to prosper......to share there wealth wisely and equally....To invest wisely in the citizens and in the country itself......
* For the strong NIGERIAN WOMAN........That they will experience The Living God in there daily life....who will strenghten..sustain and bless them and who is able to turn bad in good and there mourning in rejoicing....Who can heal there wounds and give them HOPE for there tomorrows.....
* For the CHILDREN that God will protect and guide them Keep them safe when they are on there own on the streets of Lagos or at home with there siblings when the parents struggle to earn some money.
It's WEEKEND...Yes indeed
I pray that i will be an blessing at my workplace for the elderly.......That my "hands and feet" are willing to be the hands and feet of The Lord......That not my will and my wants but His will and desires for my Life will prevail.....
I pray for "WOW" Weekends Of Worship that it will be an blessing to everyone who will join.

Your heart is such a precious blessing.
Bernice, it's so good to see those beautiful pictures. What a blessing to have been able to visit. I'm sure you took special memories with you.
Yes, it does look like the days are passing by so fast and sometimes it's hard to keep up. I pray that God gives you some quiet time where you may just delight in intimate worship.
Thank you for stopping by on WOW. Be blessed with His presence today my sister. I pray for all on my google follow but also for all who connect through Weekends of Worship--for a special touch of the King.
What a blessing to have been able to go back to the country where your relatives are. It looks like such a place of beauty but at the same time it is a place of poverty and need. What they lack in material wealth, American lack in greatful hearts and appreciation for the things we take for granted every day. A great blog and thanks for reminding me that I am so blessed in all ways.
God has placed Africa upon my heart very often for quite some time. Thank you for sharing those pictures...I'm praying in agreement with you my dear sister. Love you!
This was an awesome post...
