My wife lost her father when she was 9; the church just started not long before. Since 1992, the Bishop has taken care of all three children, sent them to school, and ensured the widow had a roof and an assignment that gives her income to date. Hetook responsibility for raising the children, till they married. Since I lost my father 24 years ago, the Bishop has continued to fill the void in my life.
There are thousands of children without parents on his organised sponsorship. And you think when some of us grow up; we won't gift a man through whose tutelage our lives became better, anything money can afford? This man has left indelible marks on many lives than we can count.
Thank you, Reno!
My grandson just got four 9โs and 5 8โs for GCSE.
Jilly his mum died in February of a Glioblastoma and to achieve this after helping to care for her for 17 months is just amazing. Off he goes to the Maths school Exeter. @BrainTumourOrg@shitscaredmum
Looking back, I understand that love should uplift and empower, not control and diminish. I learned the importance of self-worth and the strength it takes to walk away from something that no longer serves you, no matter how much you once cherished it.
So sorry for your loss. The pain is and emptiness must be beyond words. Thank you for sharing this beautiful memorial. May the Lord comfort and keep you in peace.
The fastest way to build your faith is to hear words spoken out of your own lips. What you repeatedly declare, your heart feeds on. Speak the word only. Let your ears listen to the word coming out of your own lips, and faith for the impossible will manifest itself in you with ease.

Don't let the canker worm(bitterness) eat up years of your life in unproductiveness and waste. Learn to let go of offence. The world doesn't spin around you. Get over yourself. Not everything will go the way you want or have prayed. Realise times of "disappointment" create massive opportunities. Be watchful and stay expectant.
Yesterday I made my โyesโ to Christ public.
My testimony is one of my favorite stories to tell but for now, Iโll just say to God be the glory๐ค
have the temerity to verbalise them, in public. Iโll refer you back to those who, today, have chosen the path of defending the original words uttered: those with the most power who chose to protect their own, at the expense of black women.
threats of violence are not rate. And yet, for some, itโs deemed acceptable. What is it about a successful, educated, eloquent and powerful black women that despises these people so much. And what enables them to not only have these thoughts but to 3/
by the upper echelons of society. Why? Because it sets a precedent from which you cannot backtrack. And puts many other black women with public profiles at risk. You think offering to shoot/harm one of us is a rarity? No itโs not 2/
Any black woman with a public profile understands the armour of steel you have to wrap around yourself to simply do your job. The threats and abuse go hand in hand with turning up to work. So, itโs a problem when what is clearly racism & abuse is defended 1/
