Fearfully and wonderfully made

I read up on social media that a boy committed suicide because he was always been compared to his mates that were financially doing well. I felt really bad after reading it. As a parent,  spouse or friend, whatever the relationship might be. No two human beings are same. We aren't just made, but we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. God made us for a unique purpose. What appeals to you might not appeal to me. Making someone look like or becoming someone else isn't right. Every star should be given an opportunity to shine. Every one's journey is different and everything you need to succeed in your journey is in You. As a parent what kind of words do you use when speaking with your children.

SIX THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT A YORUBA WEDDING PARTY

There is  a huge difference between the yoruba wedding and the yoruba wedding party. The yoruba wedding party comes with all the extra, which makes guest overwhelmed. You dont need to stress yourself for anything, because an event planner has got you covered. Souvenirs aren't shared to those who bought asoebi alone on the contrary every one in attendance gets a souvenir. Here are six things to love about a Yoruba wedding party: Colourful Decoration A well decorated hall with excellent ambience for selfies and photoshoots. Not leaving out the well decorated red carpet. Who wouldn't take pictures? Food and Drinks There is usually so much to eat and drink. A typical Yoruba  wedding party  has more than one food vendor serving mouth watering delicacies, ranging from fried rice, jollof rice, moi-moi, amala, ewedu plus gbegiri (oh, how I love this meal), ofada rice and sauce, vegetable salad/ cole slaw, ewa agoyin and plantain, not forget ting asun, as...
