Home coming....

We-an African family of six, came into United States of America some days ago,  courtesy of the wonderful Oladimejis whom God has used to facilitate our relocation. Courteous immigration and custom officers officially ushered us into this great country and into the waiting hands of our host family. The drive from the airport was sane and devoid of all manners of  pollution we were accustomed to on our roads at home. Even that was not lost on my kids as they could not fathom why nobody was blaring horns at nothing! The rich green forest along the road on our journey to the house was a gentle reminder of what our country would have been without the devastation of deforestation.

Anyway at home, while our kids were sleeping off the jet lag and my wife was busy updating her "gossip app" with her identical twin sister and generally catching up with the latest gist, I took my time savoring the new environment and sniffing the cleaner air. Neighbors minded their business. Utilities workers were conscientious. Even, the nature was in obedience to man. 

Our first thanksgiving Sunday was spent in His presence at Redeem Christian Church of God, Jesus House, DC. In an unusually long service, the choir ministered graciously and the leadership of the church took time to give account of their stewardship and presented the lay out of plans for the immediate future, that is if the coming of the Lord tarries. And just when I  thought this was just going to be another service, Pastor Ghandi mounted the pulpit and with brevity of time, delivered a Rhema that transformed my perspectives. Needless to say that, I cannot wait to hear the sequel next coming sunday.

Monday was labour day and therefore a public holiday. I do not have a job yet; so, that did not quite make an impression on me. What is however profound is that for the first time in my eventful life, I have absolutely nothing to protest about on a labour day! Too early you say? Well, time will tell.In the meantime, it is good to be here.
