A Dear Friend To me

I am so thankful for the friends the Lord has brought my way. Sometimes I smile at the thought of how each one has played an important role in my life.

I have come to accept that there are seasons in friendship. Some friendships come and stay a life time, some come just for a specific season,while others you do not talk everyday but when you do its like you have been together all through.One great lesson for me is to try and understand these seasons in friendship.

I have a dear friend, I call her Shiru.I have known her for over 10 years and she has this contagious laughter and loves life. About 8 years ago, she relocated to another country miles away and I thought our friendship would die. But one thing I thank God for is the efforts she has made to keep our friendship alive.

We are now married,have kids and yet our friendship has just grown with us .Today, I was feeling a bit down and guess who calls with her laughter? Esther. I keep saying she is like a guardian angel to me or our hearts are connected because over the years, in my low moments, she somehow calls at that time.

So just to say Shiru, love you so much and am so blessed to have you as a friend, even the distance and years have not changed that underlying value of friendship.May I be a better friend to you and to all my other friends.

For all my friends, thank you for being in my life and I never take any of you for granted.

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
