15 Quick "Q and A" with Ada...

Hey lovelies,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I know I've been M.I.A for a while but I assure you all that I'll be back and active this year. Here's my first post for 2017 with some Q and A's that I quickly scribbled. Thought I should make it a little personal so you all could get to know me. I hope you enjoy them and let me know your thoughts about my responses in the comment section below.


1. What are your pet names? What do you prefer to be called?

Apart from a whole bunch of pet names my husband randomly makes up when he feels like, Ada or Adaora is absolutely fine.

2. What do you do during your spare time?

A lot. As a result of my busy schedule, one thing you will for sure catch me doing is SLEEPING. I don't joke with my sleep especially when I have the slightest opportunity to. Otherwise, it's either I'm watching a movie with my hubby when he gets back from work, or I'm blogging or just reading an online article.


3. What is your Primary Love Language and Why?

Yes I do have a love language and the one that speaks the loudest is "Acts of Service". To me, it's the most powerful form of love and devotion to your partner.  I'm one of those girls that believe in talking less and doing more. A lot of people have said that a woman is being wooed by what she hears not what she sees while on the other hand, men are moved by what they see. That's a myth to me. You may give your loved one words of affirmation, but they are thinking, “Cut the talk. If you love me, you would do something around here.” For them, actions truly speak louder than words. 

I respect other love languages, but "Act of Service" tends to  be the deal breaker.  If your partner keeps talking and sugar-coating words more than the "doing" part, you might begin to feel some sense of un-seriousness in them.

4. What is your advice to Single ladies out there waiting for Mr. Right?

First and foremost, make yourself READY!. We ladies are so caught up with the illusion that we need that perfect gentleman that will sweep us off our feet. But we've failed to ask ourselves, are we the right person for the right man out there? Have we readily prepared and nurtured ourselves to enter this institution called Marriage? If we are praying for a future partner, also remember that a Godly man out there is also praying for his Mrs. Right too. Every man would want to look at his wife someday and thank God that she is exactly the woman he prayed for.

Secondly, PATIENCE is very key. It is a rare virtue which not so many of us possess. We give God timelines forgetting that God's timing is the best. It is better to marry LATE than to marry WRONG and trust me, even in God's calendar, there is nothing like a late marriage. Let's learn to be patient and marry right once and for all.

5. What are the 2 super attractive qualities you like in a Man?

Being very successful at what you do and staying HUMBLE at the same time. It's like one of the deal breakers for me. I find this quality rare in most men who are extremely successful and self-made. To me, that's the time you really get to know the man for who he truly is.

Secondly ATTENTIVENESS: Knowing that he is always there to listen to me, value my opinions, show concern for my interests rather than focusing on my insecurities. Such quality is beyond human description or comprehension.

6. What are you completely bored of right now?

The hype in social media where folks try to both impress and oppress others. We see people on daily basis trying to portray a completely different image abstract from whom they truly are while some viewers on the other hand, get carried away by these false flamboyance  and end up putting themselves in messy situations that they cannot easily come out from in order to be like them.


6. Heels or Flats?

Heels

7. Any regrets about life?

None. Mistakes are always bound to happen and we are not expected to be perfect in any form or shape. The most important thing is learning from those mistakes and ensuring that they serve as lessons and life examples to guide us throughout life.

8. Do you believe in getting Comfortable or Settling?

Well, it depends on the context. Overall, I don't believe one should get comfortable about their current position because it will make you dwell in mediocracy. It's always good to get up and look for opportunities which can help you harness your current knowledge or skill. Sometimes, people just prefer to do what they are already used to, they prefer to stay in their comfort zones because they are afraid of change. They are afraid of being rejected or denied. They are afraid of the unknown and it's consequences which is fine. Settling for less shouldn't be an option for anyone. We should always learn to thrive in the midst of any obstacle.

9. Any Pet Peeves?

Frenemies. People faking to be your friend when they actually know that they're not. Let's be clear, either we're friends or we're not...the in-between situation is tiring and energy-consuming. 

10. Any advice for youths and young adults?

Always believe in yourself and in what you do. The only thing that can stop you in moving forward is the person you see when you look in the mirror. You are your best support system and let no one tell you that you are not worth achieving that goal.

11. Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?

Avoid it right on.


12. Do you have a whole lot of acquaintances or just a few very close friends? Why?

Few close friends. Makes my life so easy and drama-free.


13. When do you find yourself singing?

It's an unconscious act for me. Singing naturally comes anytime, anywhere..


14. What was the best news you've received so far this year?

When my dad's operation went successful without any complications

15. How do you think one can make their lives more meaningful, starting from today?

The ability to stop procrastinating. Procrastination at its worst does not bring any favorable circumstances. It's s a bad habit I know we all are somehow trying to curb because it's neither considered as good in one’s personal life nor is it accepted in one’s occupation, because the person who is in this habit faces problems in his personal life and loses many chances, such as, promotions or rewards etc. in his employment. He is unable to maintain his self-image in a good manner among his peers. Management is not willing to support him in the process of career development. There is not any progress for him in terms of gaining good experience as well. So I urge us to drop this bad practice and begin the act of "DOING". This will go a long way to bring about a favourable outcome.

I hope you'll enjoyed my Q and A session. Please let me know if you would like to see more of this on the blog, that way we can make it a series.

Until next time, remain blessed!!!

Lots of Love,

Ada... xoxo

Our Guest Post on "The Praying Woman"

Hello Lovelies,

How are you all doing? As some of you may already  know, my article was featured last week on The Praying Woman's Website titled When God Refuses To Open A Door and I was glad to see quite a number of ladies who shared their testimonies as to how they believed God for an open door and He gave them something totally different, far much better than they could ever ask or imagine.

Sometimes, we think we are too qualified for a particular position based on the knowledge and experiences we've acquired, hoping that as soon as the interviewer takes a glance at our resume or hear us speak, we will immediately be hired. This isn't always the case especially for faith-believing Christians. God can position you in any given place, where you do not even qualify to be. He can break every protocol for your sake. Where you think you'll be placed in life might fail you and you'll begin to ask God why. Is something wrong?

Be calm! God isn't asleep. Not all open doors are doors of blessings, some are open doors in disguise to lure you into further destruction. God is preparing a better place for you that is why he has refused to open that door. His time to elevate you has come and you won't remain in that same level again.

Click on the above link to read our featured post!

Have a blessed week and I  look forward to seeing you all in my next blog post..

Lots of love,

Ada xoxo!!!

Why Am I in this Relationship?

As a huge fan of Judge Lynn Toler's TV show, DIVORCE COURT, I've come to realize that so many relationships and marriages fail because people shy away from asking themselves and their supposed partners the necessary questions before venturing into this thing called Love.  We often misplace lust for love because they both come with very strong emotions and if care isn't taken, you might simply be lusting after someone thinking you are in love. There is little to no effort made towards preparedness and often times, you find out that one partner is so fixed on trying to correct or change the other person's actions without even realizing that they might just be the cause of that problem.

Over the years, I've attended several relationship seminars/workshops and when certain questions were being asked by fellow participants, I then realized that people actually do go into relationships for the weirdest reasons. Reasons such as feeling lonely, desired, bored or just broke to the extent of not having enough money to pay their rent. You'll hear words like "I need someone who is financially capable to cater for my needs....  It's a man's world and it's not my sole responsibility to foot the bills... bla bla bla". Well, I understand that sometimes people's backgrounds and upbringings play a major role in the way they think about certain aspects of life and the economic system can also have a negative impact on their ability to make certain ends meet but this isn't still a valid reason to venture into a relationship. And as always, any relationship entered into with such motives will eventually have a U-turn and the repercussion can be very disastrous. Some others dive in due to parental pressure, physical attraction, trying to feel among, and all what not. Alot out there are incredibly desperate for some TLC because they feel they've been single for a long time and it's time to get some good loving.

Making the Right Decision

I had the urge to share this brief message that  I titled:

"MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION"...

Our ability to do what is "RIGHT" regardless of the surrounding circumstance or what people will say is what makes us PECULIAR. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations whereby we are uncertain about how well we should handle that particular problem without hurting those we love. This uncertainty however, might lead us into confiding in those who do not have the adequate knowledge and right experience to direct us to the right path.

Christian Courtship and Marriage...

A number of people still try to figure out what courtship means and how this differs from just dating. Years back, I was of the impression that courtship began the very moment a man proposes to a woman and as soon as she says YES to him, they are no longer considered to be dating, they are now in Courtship.  As 'chezzy' as this may sound, I figured out that I wasn't alone in this idea. Some people are stern believers of this.

Courtship is being in a Godly relationship with the intention of getting married. Some call it "Dating with Purpose". A biblical foundation has to be laid because this is a  preparatory period for aspiring couples to get to know one another and decide if they are worth living together for a lifetime.  In courtship, there is a common goal - where the couple not only plan towards the wedding but most importantly, the marriage itself. Amos 3:3.

Weathering The Storms of Your Life....

Sometimes, we wonder why we go through certain difficult situations in life and when things don't turn out the way we planned, we then begin to convince ourselves to believe that we are truly being punished for the sins of our fathers or a crime we've committed in the past which might be as a result of youthful exuberance or total ignorance. As humans, we are bound to feel this way because we want to trace the root cause of our problems and sort out ways to handle them up-front. This I agree with, but the sad truth is that very few people out there believe that problems, trials and tribulations are bound to happen. We should expect them to manifest. God didn’t promise us that we will not experience turbulence in life neither did he say that the enemy will not attack but His word to us is that when the enemy comes like a flood, he will surely raise up a standard against him. Isaiah 59:19. That means we are already guaranteed divine protection and defense. He also assured us in "Deuteronomy 28:7", that "He will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come in one way, but flee from you seven ways" (i.e; when an army is overthrown or dissipated).

I Forgive You, But I Will Never Forget!

Using a ballpark estimate, I would say that 89% of people in the world do forgive without getting the incident off their minds. Why is this so difficult? The art of easily forgetting something done wrong to you could vary, and this might depend on the impact of that situation. It is very easy to forgive a child who lied to you about having excellent grades in his report card, only to later on find out from his teacher that he failed in most of his subjects. Once disciplinary measures have been put in place, that incident could be forgotten in just weeks. Another quick example is if someone bumps into you in a subway station. "Sorry", they say, and you answer "No problem". Leaving the subway, you'll never think of it. Who cares? But how do you preach forgetfulness to a married man or woman whose partner was caught in the act of adultery with their best friend or closest sibling? Worse case scenarios, you find out after 5 years of your marriage that your only child isn't yours. Your wife took in for another man and all these years, you've been grooming a child in your home who isn't biologically yours. That's a life-time grudge! Oh, did I just say grudge? Someone's life could be lost when this truth is finally revealed.

It's tragic how those we deeply love, cherish and trust find ways to hurt and betray us in return. Most relationships that kick off so well eventually take a different turn which ends up creating doubts and trust issues as we move on in life. The human behaviour is "hard-wired" and our initial instinct would be to retaliate as soon as we have been hurt by someone. This is because our pride and self-esteem has been injured. Trust that has been built for years have suddenly been shattered in a split second. Something so valuable has been lost and for that, we want recompense for the damage.

UNDERESTIMATION - "A Motivating Tool for Success".

We often hear when people say... "There’s always a first time for everything”. That's  like a constant reminder whenever I feel skeptical about trying something for the first time. You know that fearful feeling of failure, when a certain group of people, maybe your classmates or colleagues, tell you they have tried getting the best out of a particular project, yet it never worked out for them and they try to talk you out of it. I won't lie, it gets to me sometimes. It even sounds worse when they say “If Debby, the smartest of us all could try and fail, who then are we?” Hmm! Isn't it funny how we inevitably underestimate our value when comparing ourselves to others? Just because the smartest couldn't pull through, doesn't mean it wouldn't work out for the rest. We consciously or unconsciously tend to quantify human intelligence and/or effort with God’s unquantifiable grace. When His grace abounds upon a man’s life, it really doesn’t matter if you were the smartest or dumbest kid in class or if you stuttered so much in that job interview, what matters is that God breaks all human protocols for his children’s sake.

A friend shared a wonderful testimony with me on how he got a job in a highly reputable establishment, a place he never imagined to work someday. According to him, he initially felt reluctant to submit his application, but he was like ..... "You know what? It wouldn't hurt anyone if I did. Besides, it's just a application. The company will eventually select their best fit at the long run". Surprisingly, he was called for an interview and was eventually hired. Wow! During his 3 months probationary period, he stated how it got tougher by the day as he was not making enough sales (profit) for the company.

They called you UGLY! So what?

This blog post is dedicated to all those out there who at some point felt insecure and settled for less than they truly deserved. Know that without your consent, no one will make you feel bad or inferior. Be the judge and the jury of your life.  It’s in your power to have full control of what comes in and goes out of your life. If you let your mind become a garbage zone where people dump their waste products and all manner of nonsense, you are indeed trading your happiness for their sake.  

Day-to-day, a lot of our young girls and even boys lose their self-confidence all because of the false impression the society, friends and even class mates want them to forcefully consent to. Some are being called retarded, fat, ugly, scruffy, unfortunate, underprivileged and all manner of names. As a child born in the 80’s and attended elementary school in the 90’s, I had a fair share of the word ‘ugly’ directed at me and often times, I looked at myself in the mirror and wondered why I was being called such name. But you know what? As little and as stubborn as I was, even though I had a quiet outlook, I would  call them even worse names, making sure the tone of my voice overpowered theirs in return. Ridiculous right? I believed everyone must have a piece of the same pie. You can’t just call me ugly and expect to go scot-free. That’s just impossible!

Stepping Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Doesn’t it just feel so wrong and even more tiring that whether you like it or not, your alarm still has to wake you up in the next couple of hours even after you just retired to bed like half an hour ago? Yeah, that sucks right?

That’s the same feeling I get when I’m right on my bed, underneath my warm cozy duvet, positioned myself properly and all set to embark on my journey to dreamland, then all of a sudden, I realize that I forgot to turn off the light. Gosh!! At this point, the burning desire to scream someone's name to come to my aid is all that comes to my mind. How I wish I had a bedside switch to turn the light on and off. No matter how hard I pretend to close my eyes hoping that in few minutes, I'll fall asleep without even noticing the lights, I’ll end up tossing and turning till I  grudgingly crawl out of my bed to turn off the light.

My 2014 Journey - Sharing my Successes and Failures

Hello Lovelies, 

So i was inspired to share my ‘2014 journey’ after reading a related post from a fellow Nigerian blogger, Adaeze Obiako, the Founder and Editor of "Deserve Your Great Life". Adaeze is a writer, vision coach, copy-editor, public speaker and also an ardent contributor for Bella Naija Magazine. 

What intrigued me the most about her write-up was that she was open to the truth and told it as it was... a.k.a.. not trying to portray a perfect, spotless, 'holier than thou' image as many would. She took out time to share her successes, failures and lessons learned from the previous year, not failing to admit that growth is a gradual process which takes time to develop. I was really inspired by this, so here i am sharing my own experience with you guys.

 A lot of people might find this weird, sharing success / failure stories to the entire world. Reasons being that they are afraid of their competition copying them or that what’s working for them will stop if everyone starts doing it.

Well, is this perception wrong?

From my point of view, i would say 'IT IS'.  Sharing your successes and failures are a way of encouraging and uplifting others who are at the verge of giving up. The more you teach, share and help others, the more you learn as well. It's a give-and-take, not a one-sided affair.  And heck yeah, even if your competition starts doing EXACTLY what you do and how you do it, remember they won't execute it the way you do. The world is full of people who don’t take action. You can give someone the blueprint to success and they’ll find a reason it won’t work for them. You must have an abundance mindset and understand there’s enough out there for you and your competition. 

So, without further ado, let's get started!!!

Picking Up Your Broken Pieces

Hello loves,

I can’t help but SCREAMmM!! 

It’s our year of unlimited celebrations so fasten your seat belts ‘cos I see God escalating us to greater heights...  In fact, 10x better than where we were last year. Twenty-fourteen was indeed awesome. This blog was instituted and I had the pleasure of knowing most of you, my wonderful readers. You guys always keep me motivated, energetic and right on track. Love it! Love it!! Let’s keep the flag flying and trust me, I’m very optimistic this year is gonna be more glorious. 

So, back to business…lol.

I’m here today with a blog post I titled “Picking up your broken pieces” 

I know during this time last year, a lot of you had a 'lonnnng' list of expectations. Some were met while some didn’t really turn out the way you planned.  Some of you must have set realistic goals which you didn’t meet, entered into the wrong relationship or business partnership, lost a job, career opportunity or a loved one. You must have been faced with several difficult challenges one way or the other but God is here to assure you that he hasn’t given up on you. Your file is right before him now and you are the NO.1 priority on his list.

So..... stop brooding and tearing yourself down. It’s time to pick up your broken self and start putting your life together. When hard times knock you down, get back up, dust yourself and brace up! Those who thought you wouldn’t amount to anything reasonable will see you in a different dimension this year.  They might have seen you as good for nothing, rejected you, back-stabbed you, said so many despicable things about you but God thinks you are to die for. Begin to release that negative energy and shut down that voice in your head that keeps telling you can’t make it and get positive and upbeat again.

God is no respecter of person and needs no permission from anyone to elevate you. The righteous man falls 7 times but yet he will rise again. It’s not a time to be downcast or downtrodden. Stop attracting pity-party. I'm sure even the sun's mood was dampened sometimes by the rain, but hey, it didn't stop the sun from rising and shining again. There was a reason for all the trials you passed through in the previous year. God set them all up to mold you for what is ahead of you this 2015. So get ready! It's coming and it's coming fast!

This is the second day of the year. Start off with a positive attitude. While waiting for your breakthrough to manifest, begin now to praise God in the hallway. Usher in this year with a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving. The book of Psalm 22:3 says “God inhabits the praises of his people”. That’s one way to draw God’s attention and your problems will be solved. A thankful and praiseful heart is a way to abound in faith. Anytime we operate in high degree of faith, praise is always present. It’s an intimate communion with God.

Are you broken in shambles? It's time to reflect, reposition and restrategize. Re-align yourself with Christ if you have backslidden. There's no better time than now. Imagine God putting you on hold the same way you do to him on a regular basis. You'll be out of breath in less than a minute. Why not give honor to whom honor is due? A life outside Christ, come rain, come shine, will still generate negative results. Ask God for his leading today and watch him project you far and above your imagination. 

May God bless you as you ponder on these words.

I'll see y'all in my next post.

Lots of love,

Ada. 

The 'EGO' Syndrome

Ego! Ego!! Ego!!!This is the beginning of man's downfall. It's an unhealthy baggage that must be dropped if we truly need to succeed and go to great lengths in life. A lot of people say it's man's nature to be egocentric! Well, that's absolutely not false. 

As a matter of fact, we were born into sin but Christ died on the cross a thousand years ago to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He died that we might be set free from every bondage, sin and reproach. Egoism is bondage! It is captivity!  It is man's greatest enemy; not that witch in the village. It creeps in gradually when we think we have arrived. When we assume it was by our own power and strength and not recognizing that God was the ultimate reason why we were able to scale through in that situation.

An egocentric heart is always bitter and resentful. Never appreciative of anything. Always striving to out-do. Never stands to be corrected. Such people think the world revolves around their needs and wants.  

Have I been a victim of this syndrome? Oh yes! times without number, especially during my days as a teenager. I have fallen head down and guess what? It’s not a graceful occasion. I’ve ended up with so many regrets as a result of lashing out on friends even before they tried to pass the actual message across. This however, affected my decision making which resulted in drastic outcomes.

Reminiscing on this, I won’t fail to admit that I am a work in progress. Like fine wine, I got better with time. Really, some things need to be overlooked as they are not worth the sweat. For peace to reign, let them slide and let life go on. Do not let your egocentric nature hinder you from diverse opportunities that might come your way. Our tongue needs to be regularly tamed. As small as it is, it can cause a lot of havoc. It can break trust that has been built for years in a split second. We need to be mindful of how we respond to people and situations around us.

Constantly put your heart in check... Ego comes with a heavy price and trust me, it's not a cheque you can easily take to the bank and cash. It costs more than you can ever fathom. Are you suffering from this syndrome? Remember, a broken and contrite heart, God will not despise. Psalm 51:17. Ask God for his leading today.

I'll see you guys in my next post..

Until then, stay blessed and enjoy the festive season.

Happy Happy Holidays!!!

Lots of love,

Ada..

               

Sieving Ungodly Weeds

'Abstaining from the Counsel of the Ungodly'

Weeds are plants that are considered undesirable especially when they grow where they are not wanted. They are plants like any other, but when they grow in our lawn or garden, they can overpower the real plants by reducing its soil nutrients and moisture. If no restriction is imposed, they can increase the cost of cultivation and further cause health hazards to humans and animals as well.

Tailoring this to the real world, weeds are considered to be toxic people who unashamedly, are the major carriers of ungodly counsel, the devil inclusive. They never bring good news. These are people who find a purpose in your weaknesses and fall out of place in your strengths. They constantly criticize your goals and ambitions and try to hold you back and not let you grow. The easiest way to identify this caliber of people is by knowing the kind of void they fill in whenever they are around you. If they absolutely have nothing edifying to say, nothing encouraging and uplifting to keep you moving and on track, then they are obviously weeds and must be sieved out.

Not Qualified - Jon Jorgenson

You think you are too qualified or not even qualified at all?
Then, guess what?
God 'CAN' and 'WILL' use 'ANYBODY' from 'ANYWHERE' to fulfill his gospel.
In the words of Jon Jorgenson, even as a "Broken, steaming mess", God can still use you.
He does not call the qualified, he qualifies the CALLED...

"Who He Is" | Jon Jorgenson

If asked to describe this video in one word, "DEEP" would be the word.
I believe it should be played and replayed at all times
It's a great reminder that GOD IS STILL GOD
When in doubt, in confusion, in the midst of temptations
When going through the storms of life, in supplication and also thanksgiving
HE is the answer to all questions, WHY?

Praise Is All I Do

 

In the beauty of your holiness 

In the glory of your righteousness

At the wonder of your awesomeness

Praise is all i do

With my head lifted up

And arms opened wide

I see the windows of heaven

N' the outpouring of your blessings

As i praise you

Even when life throws it's hardest tantrums

N' I'm at the verge of giving up

Not knowing what to do

Or where to go

Still I'll praise you

For better or worse 

In good and bad

In all that i go through

And all that i live for

I vow to praise you

'cos PRAISE is all I do...

  

A Dreamer's World

I attended a seminar lately and began asking a number of young youths present, what their dreams and future aspirations were. I got overwhelming responses. A great number said they wanted to become successful, wealthy, start their own businesses and some wished they could possibly travel round the world. Wow, awesome! Then came the second question. “What actions are you putting in place to ensure these dreams come to fruition? I honestly, was totally amazed by the responses I got.  A lot had no clue on how to accomplish these goals, apart from a few who stated the regular philosophy we hear all the time, WORK HARD! So, how do you intend to work hard my dears? Hmm! This aunty you ask a lot of questions, some grumbled.

Obviously, we all aspire to become somebody great. Yours may be to become a lawyer, doctor, engineer, singer, or a professional in any field of your choosing. The trick here lies in the strategies you set out, to ensure these goals are being actualized. I think a lot of us are just mere dreamers, living in a world of illusion and fantasy. We have bold and highly speculative ideas without properly implementing them. While we are busy dreaming, guess what? The really happy and successful people, the really fulfilled and powerful people out there, are the ones who are busy doing. 

We convince ourselves that these dreams are possible, motivating ourselves to go and pursue after them, but in the real sense, dreaming does nothing other than allow you engage in the possibilities of the future. Dreams are tangible objects that exist outside our minds, they are only thoughts. Dreaming does nothing. 

So... About That Log In Your Eye.

There was a certain woman who was caught in the act of adultery. The Scribes and Pharisees brought her to Jesus for judgment. They said “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery; the Law of Moses commanded us that such should be stoned. What do you say?”

They were trying to ensnare Jesus into saying something they could use against him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his fingers he wrote on the ground, as though he never heard them.

So, when they kept asking, he lifted up himself, and said to them “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her”.

As soon as they heard this, they became convicted by their own conscience and went out one after the other in shame. No one was left except Jesus and the woman. Then he said unto her “Woman where are those accusers, has no man condemned thee?” She answered “No one, Lord” And Jesus said unto her “Neither do I condemn thee, go, and sin no more”

This short biblical passage is a typical illustration of how so many of us pretend to live a life without sin. Most times, we fail both God and man, yet we act like we have no spot or blemish in us. Because you have not yet been caught in that unscrupulous act, doesn’t mean you are not doing it. We are always quick to call on the society to stone someone to death simply because they committed an offense. Have you not done worse?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Yesterday was October 13^th 2014, a second Monday in the month of October when Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving. This set-out day is an opportunity to give thanks for a good harvest and other accomplishments in the past year.  All schools, post offices, grocery stores and corporate organizations are usually closed on this day. The public transport services may run to a reduced timetable or may not run at all. 

Prior to the festive period, people take this day off and often use the three-day thanksgiving weekend to visit family or friends who live far away, or receive them in their own homes. It’s also a great time to take a short autumn vacation as this may be a last chance in a while for some to use cottages or holiday home before winter sets in. Football, family, parades, and feasts are the theme of the day for Canadians. Special delicacies, especially the roasted turkey and other seasonal produce, such as pumpkin, corn ears and pecan nuts are usually prepared in order to celebrate this great event.
