FINDING COMMUNITY AND PEACE: SARAH'S JOURNEY TO CHURCH

In the heart of a bustling city, there lived a young woman named Sarah. She was a busy professional, always juggling work, social life, and personal responsibilities. One day, a friend invited Sarah to attend church with her on Sunday. At first, Sarah was hesitant, but her friend's enthusiasm was infectious, and she decided to give it a try.

As Sarah walked into the church, she was struck by the sense of community and warmth that filled the air. People of all ages and backgrounds were gathered together, smiling and greeting one another. The service began, and Sarah was moved by the powerful message of love, forgiveness, and redemption.

Over the next few weeks, Sarah found herself looking forward to Sunday services. She began to feel a sense of peace and calm that she had never experienced before. The sermons were thought-provoking, and the community was supportive and welcoming.

As Sarah continued to attend church, she started to notice changes in her life. She felt more patient, kind, and compassionate. She began to see the world in a different light, and her relationships with others improved.

One day, Sarah faced a difficult challenge at work. She was feeling overwhelmed and stressed, but as she reflected on the lessons she had learned at church, she felt a sense of peace wash over her. She realized that she was not alone and that she had a community of people who cared about her.

Sarah's experience taught her the importance of attending church on Sunday. It was a time for her to connect with others, reflect on her values, and find peace and guidance. She discovered that Church was not just a place to worship, but a community that could support and uplift her.

From that day forward, Sarah made it a priority to attend church on Sunday. She found that it helped her stay grounded, focused, and connected to something greater than herself. And as she looked around at the people she had met, she knew that she was part of something special – a community that shared her values and supported her on her journey.

THE FALL: A TALE OF LOST DREAMS

In the vibrant city of Lagos, a young boy named Ola once shone bright with promise. His academic prowess and boundless energy made him a standout, with dreams of becoming a doctor or engineer. However, Ola's trajectory took a devastating turn when a friend introduced him to Rophynol, a pill that promised relaxation.

This seemingly innocuous start soon spiraled into a deadly addiction, consuming Ola's life. Codeine and Tramadol followed, numbing his senses and eroding his aspirations. As his grades plummeted and his relationships frayed, Ola's friends, Kemi and Yimi, watched in horror.

One poignant evening, they confronted Ola about his downward spiral. Kemi's gentle concern and Yimi's blunt warnings fell on deaf ears, as Ola confessed to using substances as an escape from reality.

The once-bright Ola slowly vanished, replaced by a frail, empty shell. Despite his friends' desperate attempts to intervene, the damage was irreparable. Ola's addiction had taken its toll, and he succumbed to acute liver failure.

The community was shaken by Ola's tragic demise, serving as a stark reminder of the dangers of substance abuse. His friends now stood by his grave, their hearts heavy with grief and regret.

Moral Lesson: Drug abuse doesn't just destroy your body; it annihilates your future. Don't let temporary relief obliterate your permanent dreams. Stay away from drugs, those silent killers that erase your potential one day at a time.

LIFE INSPIRATION

An eagle advised a woman on the best way to raise children.

“Are you okay, human mother?” the eagle asked.

The woman, surprised, stared at it.

“I’m scared. My baby is about to be born, and I have so many doubts. I want to give him the best, I want his life to be easy and beautiful, but how will I know if I’m raising him right?”

The eagle observed the woman and perched near her.

“Raising a child isn’t easy. It’s not about making everything comfortable. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. When my eaglets are born, the nest is full of feathers and soft grass—they have a place where they can rest, where they feel safe. But when the time comes for them to learn to fend for themselves, I take all that away. I leave only the thorns.”

The woman frowned, confused.
“Thorns? Why make it so hard?”

The eagle looked at her seriously.
“Because thorns cause discomfort. And that discomfort is necessary. They don’t stay there waiting for everything to be handed to them. The thorns force them to seek a better place, to grow. Comfort doesn’t teach them anything.”

The woman pondered the eagle’s words but still had doubts.

“And what do you do when they fall?” she asked, intrigued.

The eagle replied.
“I throw them into the air. At first, they fall because the wind overpowers them, but I catch them. I lift them with my talons and throw them again. Over and over, until they learn to fly on their own. And do you know what I do next? I let them go. I don’t help them anymore."

The woman looked at her, wide-eyed, not fully understanding.

“I don’t enable dependency,” the eagle continued. “My children must learn to fly, must learn to be strong on their own. Life isn’t about keeping them in a soft, safe nest all the time. If I overprotect them, if I keep them in my nest forever, I won’t be teaching them anything. They need to find their own way, and I know they will.”

The woman, gazing at the eagle, took a deep breath.

“So, I should let my child suffer a little?” she said, a bit fearful.

The eagle nodded.

“It’s not suffering. It’s learning. And though it may hurt you, human mother, the best thing you can do is teach him to be strong. Don’t hold him back, don’t coddle him all the time. Make him fly.”

The woman nodded, caressed her belly, looked at the eagle for a long moment, and then, with a smile, bid the bird farewell.

“Thank you, mother eagle,” she whispered as she walked away. “Your advice is invaluable.”

The woman continued on her path, determined to be the mother her child needed: firm, brave, a mother who would teach him to fly.

If you want your child to soar high… don’t do everything for him. Don’t keep him in a nest of comfort. Eagles push their young out of the nest, let them face the thorns, because they know that’s the only way they’ll learn to fly.

Don’t be afraid to see them fall. You, like the eagle, will be there to lift them up, but don’t keep them under your wing forever. Let them face the wind. Let them learn to be strong. True love isn’t protecting them from everything—it’s teaching them to fly, even if it means letting them fall. Let them find their way, even if they stumble along the process.

Embrace the lessons of yesterday, seize the opportunities of today, and envision the possibilities of tomorrow. And most importantly, never cease to wonder, never stop exploring, and never lose curiosity.

Assalamu Alaikum.

Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones! May Allah bless you with joy, peace, and prosperity on this special day. May the sacrifices of Ramadan be accepted, and may the blessings of Eid ul-Fitr bring happiness and togetherness to your family and community.

Wishing you a joyous and blessed Eid celebration!
