As August Ends Today

It seemed like yesterday when we welcomed August into the fold of 2017.

We had high hopes that it was the month to make us realize our dreams for 2017

We made plans to achieve our goals

We were ready to take on the world in order to live the life we are born to live

But here we are

In the next couple of hours, August shall depart the shores of this year - 2017

Just another month that has gone by

And the questions come flooding in

Were all our hopes met?

Did we achieve all our goals?

Were all our aspirations met?

Yet, ought we not to be grateful?
That August did not consume us as it consumed so many people - those who died in accidents, those who were murdered by Boko Haram, those who died in air crashes, those who lost their lives in ship and boat mishaps, those who died from chronic diseases, e.t.c.

Are we any better than them?
Are we less of sinners than them?

Definitely not

It's all about the Grace of God

His Grace has enabled us to navigate through the 1st to the 31st day of August without being consumed

Oh for sure we may not have had all our dreams come true in the outgoing month but then we are ALIVE and only the living can set goals, make plans and achieve them.

And as I always say, Thank God for life

August missed you, be grateful

Have a great day today
