Lovely Weekend

My weekend was lovely and different. 

On Friday evening, we were not in our usual jeans and T-shirts but instead dressed up in evening wear and joined our couple friends for dinner. The food and company was great. It was such a refreshing time just to have a good time away from home and the kids.

On Saturday,I went to work with Samara and it was much fun. It was nice to feed her, play and see her interact  so well with other children. Alex had gone to the garage and as usual came back with it sparkling clean. Later that evening, we attended our monthly couples meeting, where we laugh, catch up on whats happening in our world,share about our joys,challenges in marriage and parenthood. We have observed that   in the last 3 years,there has been much growth and maturity in each of the individuals. The group was formed when majority of us were newly weds. We are 6 couples and have 7 babies and 1 coming soon. It is a group that we treasure and look forward to meeting as we learn so much from each other. We got home past mid night.

After the Sunday service, we drove home and relaxed indoors just the three of us. We took a nap and later in the evening went for an evening stroll.  It took some convincing for my beloved because he likes driving more thank walking and so he joked that Samara and I can take the evening stroll and he would drive behind us, just like an escort car. Finally he accepted and we took a break at a small restaurant then walked back home at 7p.m. It was lovely to do that , the last time we walked like that was when we were pregnant. After Samara slept we watched 2 movies 'Unthinkable' and 'A-Team'.

So that was my lovely weekend.Nothing major but treasured precious moments. Life is found in the everyday things and not in the big events. So choose to love life and to enjoy your today.

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

Weight-Part 2

Once the baby is breastfeeding and starts to wean, the eyes shift from the mother to the child. Common comments ‘ what are you feeding your baby on? They are growing so well. During baby clinics, pressure mounts because your child's weight gain doesn't seem to match that of another or a friend's child. Next time you take the baby for vaccination open your ears and eyes. It’s like people are sizing each other up, or trying to boost their image especially if their baby “seems” to be ahead of others. I know this is a sensitive topic but all am saying is, yes the mother/parents have worked pretty hard to ensure that their baby is growing well and that is ok and we appreciate the good job done, but hey do we stop to think about that other woman/family who is feeling like a failure because as per the society as long as your baby is not growing as well as we expect, the mother( most times) isn't doing a good job? Do we ask ourselves why isn't that child not growing as...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
