Valentine Day Blues


Valentine Day Blues!!!


I know the recipient :)


So after all the euphoria of the day, Cakes, Red apparel, Dinners, Glitz and Glam, The day just ended on a sad note for Nigeria. There was news that Goldie Harvey gave up the ghost on February 14. If this is true, Vals day would never be the same for Goldie's family. The news started filtering in at about 8ish, and I think so many people chose to ignore it till this morning. Personally, I thought it was a joke and probably still don't entirely believe.

But it’s February 15th and the rumour is yet to go away. Sad! So this got me thinking again about life. How we are only preserved by the mercies of God. Who would have thought? Anyone could wake up and not go back to sleep in the same bed forever. The truth is if God says it’s time, then it’s time.

Life is short, times are hard, a baby will someday grow old, and with each passing day, we’re one day close to our graves. This is not to impute fear in anyone. This is to evoke deep reflections on how to maximize life while we are alive. It is human to remain sad for a while, and then move on.



While we may not have been directly affected by Goldie’s alleged death, it is perhaps God’s way of getting our attention. Perhaps this is His way of reminding us to appreciate everyone, don’t hold grudges, enjoy life, live right, love God, reach out to the needy, and anything else that makes life worth living.

Most importantly, perhaps this is God’s way of reminding us, that we may not die, but the world may very well end soon. What then? Either way, there is an end. Let’s live with eternity in mind.

Have a great weekend everyone.
