Pay more attention to the CONTENT -THE MESSAGE than THE CARRIER; else you're missing it already.

Don't #look at the #stature. If you give #unnecessary #attention to the #physique, you'll #miss it. Just #get it #right; THE #CONTENT -THE #MESSAGE.
(May be, you can begin to #appreciate THE #CARRIER )

“TWO FIGHTING!” Part 2 The story continues…



“It was #hell getting my #testicles #stitched! I don’t pray you #experience that. At this #stage, the old man’s #gentle #voice came #ringing in my head all through the night my head was filled with its loud #echo until it was all I could hear –
“DON’T YOU #HEED #WARNINGS?”
Apart from the pain I had to #endure for #treatment, #dressings and other #medical #attention, I will never be able to get over #regrets of my #stubbornness and for #fighting at all. I don’t know what I would have done if I had lost both testicles! But I couldn’t #save both of them either because one was #punctured beyond #repair!”

What if I had #died? May be I wouldn’t have been able to have #children at all. If I had become #impotent, would my #wife had agreed to marry me? My #experience had turned my life around; it has also #positively affected my #reaction to warnings - “I HEED WARNINGS!” I vowed never to #engage in fight or any kind of #violence again!  And #consequently, I’ve been a #crusader against #violence; I’ve had to tell my story over and over again, especially to #students and my #friends. VIOLENCE DESTROYS; VIOLENCE #KILLS! Don’t get involved! DON’T ALLOW YOUR OWN #ANGER TO #DESTROY YOU! I BEG YOU!”

"TWO FIGHTING!"



“TELL THEM SO THAT ‘THEY’ CAN #LEARN FROM MY STORY.”
I’ll like to share this #story with you this #season because it happened at a similar period. Listen to the words of the #writer,

“Two #men had an #argument that led to a serious fight. They fought for a very long #period of time and no one was able to stop them. While the fight #continued, an old man who lives in the #vicinity walked up to the #fighters, after his attempt to #separate the men proved futile, he #approached the younger man and told him,
“Young man, but this man you’re #fighting is older than you. #People have gathered to #stop you yet you have refused to stop. Don’t you #heed #warnings?”
But the young man replied #bluntly,
“NO! I DON’T HEED WARNINGS!”
So the old man withdrew and virtually everybody did same. But not too long after that, something #horrible happened that called everybody’s attention pulling a larger #crowd than the first. BLOOD!!! Both men started bleeding! One on the head but not as serious as that of the young man who was bleeding in between his thighs - #blood was gushing out of his groin! What happened? The young man had been #stabbed in his testicles with #broken #bottles by his opponent! (#Horror!!!) But the surprising thing is that the young man was so consumed by #fury that he continued fighting despite the heavy #bleeding! To cut the long story short, the people finally succeeded in separating both men (because the #young man was becoming weak). He was rushed to the #hospital that night but the young man I’m talking about bled all through the #night because his #genitals (#testicles) had been #murderously #battered! How do you begin to #stitch that?!
“I almost #died!” (… to be continued)

I’m pleading with you here, #friend, it doesn’t have to end in a fight. You can #talk it over or just let it go. Some have #experienced even worse consequences of violence while many others couldn’t live to tell the story. Your life is very #precious and #COSTLY, my friend. Please, take a turn for the better and STAY OUT OF #TROUBLE!
-JOY to your hearts!

Taking Baby Steps

Grace Tosin Akinlua posted:

TAKING #BABY #STEPS!
Sometimes You #fall
#Sometimes you have to be picked up to #forge ahead
Sometimes those you #expect to #pick you up,
just #walk by without #helping...
But #guess what.....
He that don't quit gets to the #promised land....
#Take those steps,
put one #foot in front of the other
#Believe you can....
And you will get there....
it takes a #staggering #wobbling baby step to get there...

"This Christmas Season... Consider being somebody's SANTA CLAUS."



While you #savored and #gulped down your #Christmas #delicacies, did you remember somebody was #GRIEVING? As you #unwrap your #gifts, do you remember some people (#adults and #children) somewhere are #STARVING? The #truth is, not EVERYBODY IS HAVING #FUN this Christmas #Season, not everybody has #boxes of #gifts to unwrap or to call their own. You can put a #smile on somebody’s #face…
Always remember that this same #JESUS we #celebrate “WENT ABOUT DOING #GOOD”. It will #cost you something though.

So this Christmas Season…
Consider being somebody’s #SANTA CLAUS.
