A Few Things To Do This Season

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been away from the blog for a while now; got caught up in other things but I kept missing the blog a lot so I’m back. The harmattan is everywhere now; you know that weather that lets you know it’s the month of Christmas. It’s been a long year and many things have happened. It’s easy to get caught up in what went wrong this year, expectations you had that didn’t come to pass and even things / loved ones you lost. But if you look well enough, you’ll see that some really good, unplanned and unexpected things also happened to you.  Here are a few things you may consider doing this season.

Count Your Blessings

Get a pen and paper and write out all the good things that happened to you this year. And when you finish, open your mouth and thank God for his goodness to you. Don’t forget to include everyday blessings such as waking up daily, being alive, healthy and sane, excellent health plus healing the times you felt down, provision, appetite to eat etc. Because some people would give anything to be alive and well right now but they aren’t cuz they’re already six feet below. Also include the good things that happened to your loved ones; cuz their joy is your joy too. 

  

Appreciate those who made the year special

This season is most definitely a season of thanksgiving and celebration. Remember everyone that made the year special for you and appreciate them with words, actions and gifts where you can. It’s not about how expensive the gift is, it’s about the love and appreciation you’re expressing. If you have parents that are still alive, treat them special this season. You don’t want to wake up one day regretting not spending time with them or treating them special because they’re dead.

Make it special

As you make your bed, you lie on it; as you choose to celebrate this season, so shall it be unto you. Take advantage of all the positive programmes that are being held this season like carols, drama nights, orchestra etc. Plan/go on a picnic with a few special people. Fill the season with anything that brings laughter and joy.

Get Some Me Time: Spend Time Alone 

Make time alone to reflect on how the year has been and prayerfully position yourself for next year. Commit what needs to be committed unto God and pause to listen for directions from the HolySpirit.

Whatever you do this season, don’t let anything or the lack of anything steal your joy or dampen your spirit. Don’t do anything stupid or anything you will regret. The reason for the season is God’s gift to our world – JESUS; not getting drunk and misconduct. Xoxo
