Lesson To Be Learnt..

Happy Sunday people! How did your day go? I suppose it went well. Don't get me wrong, I care about your response but I'll just assume it went well cos that's how I expect it to go, well!

Went home with a cracked voice today after all the talking and singing in church. I'm grateful that it allowed me to sing till the end of the service before giving up. This would be the first Sunday in a long time that I really sang so much and from my depth of heart. That doesn't mean I've not been singing from my heart, today was just different.

Since today is Sunday, I'm going to share with you what went down in my church and I'm positive that there's a lesson to learn.

After the usual order of events, it became time to hear the word of God from the pastor. He prayed and then started off by saying that youths of these days are too much involved with their phones.

He complained about a certain girl who came to church early before service started and was on her phone and even while the service had already kick started with Sunday school classes before the main service, aunty was still on her phone without paying attention to the word of God being learnt. So our pastor then said that he had no choice but to confiscate her phone.

After the story, he then told parents that they should try to control their kids on how much time they spend with their phones. I thought it was all over until I started to hear the voices of parents especially the mothers screaming that the children do not listen even when they are told. My mom too was not left out, as she was pointing at me from where she sat, telling me to hear what the pastor has said.

Another mother actually pointed at her son and made sure the pastor saw him and the boy felt accused and walked up to his mother, trying to calm her down and instead he got it worse.

I read an article @Aimure wrote about how his phone refused to come on and it was then he decided to have some family time.

Imagine his phone was still working, I'm positive that he would not think about having any time for his family and quite frankly majority of us do this same thing too, especially when we have read.cash and tiktok and FPL to attend to😁.

Some of us are now big boys and girls who our parents can no longer control, hence we do not listen to them when they complain that we spend too much time on the phone.

I walked up to the boy whose mother had pointed out after the close of church and was trying to let him know that his mother did that because she loves him and he replied that it was a weird way of showing the love especially when he was being accused wrongly.

Parents do not actually care what you're doing with your phone, whether you're reading the bible, a book or simply trying to read.cash, all they know is that you're with your phone too often and it bothers them.

My mother never thinks I'm doing anything else with my phone other than WhatsApp. What's funny is that I rarely WhatsApp. People who have my contact will testify that I hardly reply to messages and it's a habit that I'm trying to break. Even if I tell my mom this, she doesn't care because all she wants to see is me without my phone.

I guess what I'm trying to draw out is that we should make time for the people around us. Let's remember to have fun with our families not only during the times when we are bored or out of data or when our phones are broken.

Most people spend their time talking to virtual friends they haven't met and abandon the physical ones at home with them. Remember, your family is the first and will be the last resort you'll always have and of course I mean a good family.

Have a change of heart today..
