THE BRIDGE IS AN ASSET

The bridge:

It is an asset to all of our people who find time to use it.

The bridge is a link to get you to many places quicker than before it came into existence.

The bridge is a landmark that will stand out in everyone’s mind for a very long time to come God willing.

It is a quick access to the airport, towns, villages, hotels and restaurants and to get away from some heavy traffic that would have normally kept you back in that part of the country.  I sometimes drive over the bridge myself and admire the architectural design, which is beautifully done.  In my humble opinion, the ideas, that went into the realization of such a structure for the betterment of the Country was a good one.

Most times I couldn't help but see and admire the many individuals and groups of people, who jog, walk or stroll on the pedestrian area, and the beautiful scenery it gives while driving over the bridge itself. matter of fact, just looking at it at nights with its beautiful colors of lights tells you there is something new and different that dotted part of our landscape in that part of the country.

I was so impressed by the construction of the bridge, that I derived a Summer Camp, theme from that idea; "BRIDGING THE GAP". Yes I feel that the bridge serves to bridge the gap between East and west, across the water. Truly, I am impressed with this beautiful bridge and the purpose it serves, that I decided to write something good about it. However, there are many bridges that are located across the world but this one, have to come in somewhere in the top ten (10), especially when it comes to: 1.Locality. 2. Design. 3. Accessibility. 4. Usage and future durability. Perhaps, someone will disagree with me, but they would have to first prove me wrong. 

However, the idea of the bridge is a brilliant one for the country which is young and is a tourist destination. It needed that ease from heavy traffic at certain times of the day which flowed in that part of the country. Therefore, I commend all those who thought of building the Bridge in the first place. I also commend all those who saw to it being built to serve the people.

The bible tells us, “Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” (Jeremiah 29:7) NIV.

To God be all the glory!

UNINTERRUPTED PEACE. WHERE CAN IT BE FOUND?

           UNINTERRUPTED PEACE. WHERE CAN IT BE FOUND?

Let’s take a look at some of the characteristics of The Dove:

1. It is said, “The Dove is usually associated with peace and faith”. 

2. Someone also said, “The   dove universally symbolizes innocence, gentleness, faith and marital affection”.

3. Another person said, “The Doves are a sign of innocence, tenderness and affection. In art and in the scriptures, doves typically represent peace and the Holy Ghost respectively”.

That brings to mind when I was a boy growing up we used to catch doves for selling to people who ate them, sometimes we just kept them in cage, feed and took care of them, and had fun having them  around as our own.

However, one day I climbed up into a tree to catch a dove in its nest, I did catch it, but when I realized that, In that nest were young chicks. That did something to me then, because I felt that there were so many doves being caught by hand, bird traps or killed by pellet guns etc., and then their little chicks were left alone not being care for. So, I released that dove to go back to its nest and from that day I decided never to catch or hurt another Dove ever again unto this day. To God be the glory!

I have noticed as of late that the dove species is plentiful and are very friendly, so I am now even feeding them on the front porch where I live. I am talking about the brownish ones. However, an elderly friend of mine in another part of the country feeds white doves which come on her porch every day looking for food.

The doves that are around me, seem to be not afraid but keep displaying its beautiful flights, landing, feeding and making nest even above the window pane where there is enough secure and comfortable space available. I like that because there is such a great sense of friendliness and peace whenever I observe them.

That puts me in mind of the presence of the Holy Spirit within one’s life, which gives that person that great sense of peace, with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. It is said, “That heaven will be a place of uninterrupted peace”!

Smile and think!!!

God bless you!
