Tis the season to be THANKFUL :-)

I need to come up with a regular “schedule” for posting; maybe daily (yeah right!?! I’m no Mrs. Shakespeare), weekly, or monthly… But until then, the frequency of my posts will be as random as the contents of the posts themselves. So, kindly bear with me; still haven’t gotten my head around blogging.

I got this text yesterday:

“Niaje! Kama uko na number ya JC (Jesus Christ) mcall umshow asiende Salem. Wayahudi wameplan kummada. Mshow abaki Galilee hadi noma iishe. Sina credo but nimemflash. Manze jo, ASAP!”

Translation for my international readers (HA!!! Talk about having big dreams)…

“Hi. If you have Jesus’ number, please call Him and tell Him not to go to Jerusalem. The Jews are planning to kill Him. Tell Him to remain in Galilee until the plot for His death stops brewing. I don’t have credit but I have flashed Him. Please contact him ASAP!”

When I read this, I thought it was such a funny message, in a cool kind of way! It also got me thinking… If Jesus lived today, how many of us would have been on His side enough to call Him and tell Him about the plot of His death (this is of course assuming He was not ALL-KNOWING and therefore hadn’t dropped rather LOUD hints about His death)? If cell-phones existed then, do you think it could have changed the course of action? Would we have then had to die for our own sins and transgressions? (That would have been an awfully painful death by the way)… Whatever the case, I’m glad Jesus lived when He did! Mostly because at that time, God hadn’t created smart enough brains that created mobile phones, *Pheeewww*

I’m glad that God in all His awesomeness and kind nature gave up His only Son because of ish that I pulled in my past life. And it’s that unfathomable sense of gratitude that I have that makes Easter so special; at lease for me! It is a season (read weekend) to be repentant... but most importantly, tis the season to be THANKFUL because of the cross. It’s a season to be THANKFUL because except Abraham, I know not of any other FATHER who was or will ever be willing to give up His Son for mortal man’s sake. BE THANKFUL THIS EASTER!!! It’s a season to fall more in love with GOD & His SON. :-)

Have a really blessed & thankful weekend.

P.s. Jesus’ cell-phone number is in the Bible: Jeremiah 33:3 (TRUE STORY) :-)

P.s.s. For the dear love of God, if you must drink; Don’t drink and drive!
