THE PROPOSAL.

He proposed with a ring on the night of their passing out in Enugu. She turned the proposal and walked out on him telling him if all she's worth to him is this cheap ring...

2 years later he proposed with the same ring in a less exquisite location to another lady in the suburbs of Enugu. His heart stopped for a while not knowing what to expect. 

Tears filled her eyes when she raised him from kneeling and gave him a big hug and a peck on his cheek. He heard her say 'I will' an overwhelming emotion engulfed him. 

He didn't know when he asked her "are you sure?"... With a reassuring tearful smile she said 'Yes I will marry me'.  

1 year later in Paris; he asked his wife on the night of their wedding what made her accept his proposal knowing the cost of the ring was not worth much... 

She said "I saw beyond the value of the ring but the value of a heart that truly cherished and is committed to me"

Perspective is everything. You may not have the best of everything at the moment but those who are grateful and enjoy life's best start by having the right mindset or perspective

The Tale - Unbelievable!

Cars don't talk but what if i told you mine did?

It happened to rain after a long dusty trip. You can imagine the filth on the car. I planned swinging by a car wash the following Monday morning before heading to the office.

Went to the car started the engine, and drove towards the gate. Just as I was about pulling out, the car refused to move any further.

I had the throttle pressed down. The gear engaged in "D" but nothing. ?he roaring engine was beginning to make a scene.

Then the audible voice came from within - "I ain't going any further. I'm not presentable, not even as Lekan's car (my neighbor).

Unbelievable right? Your guess is as good as mine. 

The question I asked myself this morning was; are we actually worse off? By we I mean you & I, our families, jobs, finance, relationships...

I realize we all tell an individual story. Why conclude when you haven't gotten to the end of "your story" or are you the author?

God sure knows the end of any matter from the beginning thereof sometimes we don't need to understand, we just have to trust him.
