Sign of the Times

Part of the signs of our times are difficulties.

Some of the most hurtful ones are the ones suffered from being alone.

Experiences

Family and Friends have reached out to me over the last year of things that came up.

Inclusive are:-

1. Confidants
   • Being hurt by confidants
   • Betrayed Trust
2. Stolen
   • Stolen from
     • A good man was stolen from
     • Robbed of an item entrusted to him by someone else
3. Illness
   • Parents
     • Parents having to deal with offspring illnesses

Prayers

Prayers to each one that opened up; opening up a sore wound, hoping to receive a word of solace.

My prayer is that your father in heaven sees you open up, fess your half of the sin, plead for forgiveness.

Pledging for never re-occurrence.

Community

Please continue to work within family; in community.

God

God continues to show; continues to let us see those who choose to draw us aside, apart, and afar.

A holy God has his rewards and perseverance.

   • The Evil of Oppression ( Ecclesiastes 4:12 )

3.  Ephesians
   • Unity in the Body ( Ephesians 4:3 )

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.…

4. Zechariah
   • Zechariah 11:7 ( Book of Zechariah ) – The Doomed Flock

Lyrics

Omo oba ma gbagbe [ Sons and Daughters of the King, Never Forget ]
Ranti oruko baba e, ohh [ Remember the name of your father ]
Tick tock, pretty baby
You can get it back, don’t you waste it
To grow from your past, gotta face it
Oh yeah (you’re the key to the kingdom)

Here some things you have to know
It go hard from have to grow
When you feel you’ve had enough
You gotta breathe
Just remember who you are
You forget, look to the stars
Even the strong, yeah, the weak

In Closing

Each of those mentioned in the aforementioned dedication section, I have had to call on at one time or another.

Though they are busy with their own, they took time to listen.

They left aside what they were working on.  Came to see about me. They stood and rode with me.

Making sure, I was not alone.

100% sure, I would not have been OK without their interference.

May My God and the God of those I am intertwined with, see to them; bless, protect, and cover theirs, as well.
