The subject of money is an interesting one, because everyone of us needs it. Money is still crucial in our world. And in my life, I’ve had couple of experiences about money, and so I believe does everyone too. Today, I want to share 7 lessons that I’ve learned about money. 1. MONEY CAN MAKE YOU DO SO MANY THINGS ;  With money, you can do a lot of things. In fact, you can do miracles. Like if someone is sick and taken to the hospital, without money the person might not receive good treatment. But with money, the person will receive healthcare.  I remember the case of a brother who had an urgent medical condition and needed surgery. When I heard about the case, he was at the point of severity. And there was no money to do the surgery. So I assisted in paying for the surgery. The surgery was done and he recovered.  Today, he’s healthy and alive. If there was no money, probably it would have been another case. But thank God for the provision. So, having money can make us...

I promised I would continue this topic this week. Here is the link to Part 1  https://abiolagold.blogspot.com/2022/01/how-to-forgive-when-its-difficult-to.html .  Just early this week, something happened on my way to work. I was driving gently on the five-lane highway. I was on a slow lane and several cars were passing me by, on speed. As I was driving, I noticed the police behind me. And after a few minutes of following me, my car was flashed and I waited, packed by the roadside.  Then the police officer came to me, " Ma'am, why are you crossing lanes and not stable on one lane? " I said - " No, I'm not crossing lane. I only stick to my own lane and I'm even driving gently on my lane, and I'm not sleeping or dosing, so I can't be driving anyhow. " " But I noticed you were listening to something in your car. "He replied. I said - " Yes! I listen to messages when I'm going to work and that doesn't affect me in anyway....

As part of our preparations for the new year, I will like us to clear some baggage that might distract us this year. Maybe they are present or not. I want to share some thoughts on how you can forgive when it’s difficult to . This might not be an easy topic to discuss, but I hope it would help in a way. And this might sound familiar if you’ve experienced it. Though, from time to time, we offend people and people offend us. And at times, if we try to control ourselves and decide not to offend people, people might offend us, because we don’t have control over people. And that might probably cause us some pains. We might feel hurt. In such case, we may carry the burden of people’s wrongs in our minds. And if it’s someone that we don’t expect such thing from, we feel more hurt and disappointed. We feel so angry and exasperated, that we might not want to hear anything like forgiveness. It’s the last thing we could think about at such moments. But how do we actually forgive, when it’s diffic...

Hello friends, how are you doing this new year? Hope the first week has been good for you. The year is still fresh. And we’re still in the mood of the new year. Though for some of us, work has already started and everything has gone back to normal. (Laughs!)  We must not forget the fact that we must make something new for ourselves this year. We must do something new this year. We must see how we can add more value to our lives and people around us.  Just from now, we will all start counting days or months to our birthdays for this year, time is going and things are not going to be the same. We should set our plans for the year and begin to work on them.  For me, I plan to do many things this year, especially things that I’ve been postponing. I want to help people more this year. I also want to improve myself. I want to work more on learning, reading books, and working more on my projects and some of my financial commitments.  I also want to reduce spending time on...
