Earlier yesterday, I rushed to U2 supermarket about 120 meters from where I live for a quick purchase. On my way back, I noticed the garden was busy with a lot of kids. Some on swings, some riding anything, some playing with the tap (taps that have no knob to open or close) they run 24hrs (just imagine a fountain). It was a beautiful sight, parents and grand parents keenly watching out and calling out now and then. Getting really close to my house, I saw an absolutely cute little munchkin riding his tricycle. He couldn't have been more than 3 years old. I smiled at him as I always do and then he turned to his mum and said "Mama guada, che bella" the mother burst out laughing and I was laughing and blushing. He was saying "Mummy look, she's beautiful." His mum repliesd in between the laughter "Si si molto bella" meaning yes yes very beautiful. Just then I saw another just like him riding a tricycle too coming along, so I asked the mum if they were twins and she said yes and in a flash I remembered them.
Two years ago, I always used to see her push twin babies in a two in one buggy and also pull her two large dogs!!! Whenever I saw her then, I would say to myself how can someone have twin babies to cater for and two dogs? If it were me, I would have given the dogs away 😂😂😂 In short it was the dogs that jogged up my memory because loyal as ever they were with her 😂😂😂. Apparently she recognised me too, it was heartwarming to see how fast the boys had grown and how they could ride on their own and she didn't have to push them while pulling two large dogs. We laughed together a bit and I went my way wondering about life!
Sometimes we magnify our challenges and in pursuit of a better tommorow, we never really live today and that hampers our ability to soak in the little beauties of life. Today, take some time off and just live in the moment and enjoy and thank God for the seemingly little beauties in and around you! Only believe!!!!!!!!
Stay blessed Romans 8:31-39
