It's Good Friday...and once again Reflection catches up to me. But today he brings with him my other friends Thankfulness and Humility. Arrogance doesn't like Humility, Vanity hates her, the twins are jealous of her, but they all respect her, so they bow out. They'll meet up with me later.
We decide to go visit my old friend Poetry. Haven't seen him in a while. I've become really close to his sister Words, and I guess he felt there was no room for him in our friendship. But today we all got together, our mind on the Cross, and the Spirit upon us. And with pen in hand, and Thankfulness taking the lead, we write:
Lord I look upon this day and remember price paid
Stone rolled accross grave, great sacrifice laid
I'm reminded of my life and my strength and my breath
And I'm thankful for your love, and your grace, and your death
I'm thankful cause it's friday, and I'm thankful for the Cross
I'm thankful for 3 days is all it took to show Hades who's boss (lol)
I'm thankful I can write, and although it might seem silly
And some people might not appreciate that I'm thankful for a working willy.
I'm thankful for the bloggers and this new world I'm a part of
I'm thankful for inspiration, even though it was slow for starters
I'm thankful for the comments and I'm thankful for the love
I'm thankful for the banter, even those trying to marry me off (all weapons fashioned against me shall not prosper)
But most of all, Sweet Jesus, I'm thankful for today
And even though I side step it, I'm thankful for The Way.
Thank You Lord.
Not one of my more intricate pieces, but it gets the message accross.
Finally, here's a lesson in estate planning. (Joke)
When a young investment banker found out that he was going to inherit a fortune after his sick father died, he decided that he'd look for a woman to enjoy it with. So one evening he went off to a singles bar, where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
'I may look like an ordinary man', the banker said. 'But in a week or two, when my father dies, I'll inherit $40m. Impressed, the woman went home with the young heir that evening. Three days later she became his stepmother.
It's Friday...But Sundays-a-coming

Please hold while I refresh my blog. The world wide web must have directed me to the wrong link
Ah ah....
I'm still seeing 'Jesus' on this blog.
Please hold while I refresh again
Oh, Lawd! They don got Scribbles! Scribbles has been arrested by the Good Lawd. Somebori, shout Alleluia
Did I seriously just leave 5 comments on your blog?
But 8 just doesn't seem right..
It appears I have miscalculated.
Honestly, it was a mistake
I'd have stopped @ 15, but you know how I feel about odd numbers.
And then....
The 20th one came.
Scribbles, while lying on his back, laptop flipped open on his stomach, screen displaying 20 comments from the green-eyed one, smiled a wide smile - the kind that Confessions, Afro, Bumight, Smaragd, BSNC, Bibi, Just Toluwa, & Buttercup put together cannot make him smile - and said out loud, "I love this Vera girl!"
Scribbles, all your commenters are nutters..LOL.
I'm late but since I proved a point, I'm done with being first :p
Thank God for safe trips on weird planes within Naija o. Thank God for cooks and cleaners so I can relax this holiday. And thank God for blogs that I can escape to when bored.
As for your working willy, a blogger needs to conduct an experiment to confirm o...now who to bell the cat? ;)
And that was TDVA, not some hating, cowardly Anon
happy easter scribbles
lol@that woman..she is way too sharp lol!
LMFAO at the joke.
Lovely poetry.
I love this thanksgiving post...and i thank Him for the Way too
Happy Easter!
