Peace brings Unity

In the begging everything seems easy and just, the nature of living is the greatest show of them all. When I started school I used to think life was as easy as riding a bicycle and that we have control over every little thing that happens, until I grew up and learned that life is a matter of choice and struggle. We are never well prepared for what life throws at us and never matured enough to figure out perfect solutions, hence it is said that life is unpredictable. People often take themselves too serious or special and always forget that we are all humans, they forget that we all have emotions and that we all feel pain. The matter of the fact is that life is of the unknown and it requires strength, patience, wisdom and understanding. 

I like to believe that if we took time and tried to understand life better, we would learn to communicate well, love and support one another and most importantly acknowledge each others weaknesses as much as we possibly can which will help us live as one. The trick lies in seeing the other as a human being and not as a certain race, unity is the creation of mankind which we all are. The trick lies in accepting and acknowledging that we are different only in colour and uniqueness, that we are all born from a womb and that we all live beneath the stars, the sun and the moon. 

History belongs in the past, life belongs in the present, success and opportunity belongs in the future. Scars do heal even if they remain visible, all that there is to them is a reflection with no pain at all, so we can have scars all we like! they will not disappear but if we choose to embrace them we can live on and allow room for progress in our lives. Let us live with peace and memorabilia of what our fallen heroes like Madiba fought for, "Peace, stability and Unity".

 Change is needed and it needs not to be feared!

Appreciate What You Have (the value of life)

She has one leg
He sleeps on an empty stomach
She has no parents and no family
He has no place to sleep
She was raped and contracted HIV
He sleeps under the bridges with plastics
She sells her body and soul to survive
He walks barefoot each and every single day
She is a single mother with no job
He was abandoned at birth and thrown in a sewage
He/she is only human, he/she feels pain, he/she has needs and a heart, and he/she is broken!!

I am clothed and warm
You are well fed and left food on your plate
I was able to run to work and walk to school today
You called home to say good night mom
I am healthy and strong with no broken bones
You bought yourself an i-phone 6 and that Guess jean
I traded in my Jetta 6 for a brand new golf 6gti

Why are we complaining? LORD help us to be thankful and realize how blessed we are. Help us give thanks for the LIFE you have given us and that of our families and friends.

LORD WE NEED YOUR MERCY AND GUIDANCE BECAUSE WE ARE SO LOST WITHOUT YOU. WE ARE CHASING WHAT BELONGS ONLY TO THIS WORLD WHICH WILL NEVER SEE US THROUGH TO YOUR KINGDOM. HELP ALL OF US REALIZE THAT YOU ARE THE LIGHT AND THE WAY, THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING IF WE HAVE YOU IN OUR HEARTS AND LIFE.
