Today, I attended the burial Mass of a brother priest and friend - Fr. Anthony Agbessime (Biggie), OSJ.
Only 39 years old. Less than 10 years a priest.
Moments like this remind us how brief life truly is.
May the Lord grant him eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon him. ๐๐ฟ
Parenting is not easyโฆ you not only have to worry about your children, but worry about other peopleโs children and how they interact with your children.
First time waking up free.
First time waking up happy.
First time after 3years of horror.
Truly free. Truly happy.
After three years of daily hell.
But as the Good Book said:
โWhen the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.โ
It all still feels like a dream.
If you have people and/or events that bring you true happiness in this life, pls truly value them and kindly appreciate them while you can.
Because you will never know what true happiness and freedom is - until it is snatched away from you and you had no hope at all of it ever coming back.
Good morning.
And yes, happy new year.
Because the year actually just started.
