Merc,

Uh excuse me but were you going to share like the thread says or you are reading others and contributing a bone dry philosophical thought.

______________________________________________

In life one never knows you just have to hope for the best

lol see how the above sounds?

_______________________________________________

Anyway, my uncle ws once beaten to within an inch of his life just outside the gate to his home and robbed of his car and other accessories. He was taken to hosi and the car presumed gone forever.

Cops searched high and low in the Limuru area and beyond but couldn't find these guys. The cops had finally given up on the case and decided to drive into a Gas station for refueling and then call it a day. And would you guess who they found refueling in the gas station?

You got it.

Those bastards had been in Banana all along and hadn't managed to sell the car. It was the wrong specification of the order they'd had.

They are now guests of the fine institutions provided by the Kenyan Government for hosting just this class of patrons.

It is not expected that their membership will expire any time soon.

What you've said Merc is absolutely true!!!!!!

I lost my dad, sometime early this year to Kidney failure. I thought this was the end of the world for me......But the Lord gave me Strength, Peace & Comfort to deal with it.
A month later, Exactly a month later, My sister who was pregnant by then, got a baby boy, who just looks like daddy. That was the biggest blessing that we could have ever asked for.....
Today I look at him, and Just see my dad behind those eyes, and the joy that is back on my mum's face, just makes me feel so so so thankful........
We couldn' have asked for anything more but the Lord filling the loss with the blessing of my Nephew.......I love him to death and thank God everyday for him!!!!

I have lived exactly what MsJackson has gone through and please people do not every take it for granted what God can do. He is able to turn the worst possible situation to a smile.
When I lost my dear daddy, I think that I also for a moment lost the syke to live on. But I want to do what daddy would have wanted/expected of me and for that, I live wanting to please him coz I know he is watching over us! I was his favourite one, so I want to remain that while he watches what I am doing!
