Give
Thanks
To the Lord
For He is good
For the first eleven
All the way going twelve
For His amazing grace and mercy
That has lovingly carried us through
Count your every blessing in spite of it all
And do have yourself a Merry-Merry Christmas
Headed for a new year loaded with renewed hope
Greater joys, heights and breakthroughs unprecedented!
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28).
Year
it has been
Minutes flash past
Hours scrolling through
Drawing the curtains down
In definitive applause highlighting `
Moments and scenes flood in gratitude memoir
Glorious retinue overwhelming with nostalgia eventful
Bidding farewell to the year that curiously came and wenteth
Hope-filled three sixty plus five that united all at the universal colour of resilience

Like the solfa notation in its perfect informative realm
No vacuum is resultantly detected within universal time frame
Moons and years follow blissfully in ceaseless motion ever after
Showcasing their eventful rapid progression in flawless symphony
Hope prominently fortified
Cast securely upon seven days of the week
Definitively underlining in secure foundation

For all that could have gone wrong
But did not
Hell that could have broken loose
But faded away in subdue
For the landmines ensnaring
That mysteriously held still
Bad news
That never saw light of the day
For all this
And more
Much more
I marvel
Retrospect musings
With gratitude

Passion! At the sound of the seven letters, thousands of words well up the imagination realm,dialects oscillate with curiosity and a galaxy of pictures and story lines in name and biography begin to paint in radiant glow. It is the mark of distinction in the intriguing life trail bearing equal love and hatred for Excellence and passivity,Legend and mediocre. I can’t appreciate you enough fellow bloggers. Knowing you and drawing from your incredible resilient spirit has made a whole difference for me. Many thanks!
Thank you Justice for Raymond (http://justiceforraymond.wordpress.com/) for nominating me for The Addictive Blog Award. Your heartfelt noble and uniquely contagious drive for justice towers high in inspiration. As I accept this nomination, this with much gratefulness, I applaud your precious contribution and I’m convinced it’s the same special feeling shared by many of us here. Our very best wishes to you.You are not alone! I am fully persuaded, without a shadow of doubt or fear of contradiction-when all is said and done; when the chords of treachery, the antics of oppression and ‘experts’ of confusion have attained their flimsy best…fatally sealing their fate in inescapable ominous grip as motive of heart lies bare, JUSTICE stands King,brilliantly radiating through the thickest of blindfolds in vivid sight,effectively routing the most vicious of her antagonists. If she could be shredded to a trillion pieces in a vicious thrust to silence her, she would immediately sprout up in a trillion voices of unrelenting revolution.It’s the spectacle no fire will quench nor consume…not now, not ever; the cause no barricade will halt. The Rock no arm twister will break. If she could be crushed from ice,she will resiliently navigate the quest as liquid and when the heat is unbearably high, the mission will unstoppably triumph as vapor. Justice will never end…she won’t stay silent. Justice reigns SUPREME. Justice will rule the world. To Justice belongs the infinite last laugh, in life and beyond!
I will share this solemn moment with the following:

“…It blows as it pleases, you hear its sound but cannot tell where it comes from or where it’s going…like the Sound of the Wind.”
The Patriot hurriedly rose to his feet and rubbed his eyes vigorously like one in a daze. He quickly glanced at his side reaching out for his javelin stuck on to the ground then strode forth in what was reminiscent of a-tiptoe to collect his shoes. His heart was racing as he bent to fasten the straps on, his eyes warily darting to the left and right simultaneously! Continue reading “SOUND OF THE WIND”
