Preamble 🌺
In this series, the topics will vary but the focus of it, is to make us ready for 25 and for the rest of the month.
As usual, I would be using real experiences happening currently around me to write posts.
Kindly leave your comments, I would love to engage with you😌
Moody time🍂
In tropical Africa it is harmattan time. In some other countries, it is winter. In some other places, the weather varies.
Where I am, it is harmattan.
The coldest time of the year.
The time no-one wants to get out of their bed and the urge to pull the blanket over and continue the cozy sleep. When alarms are most annoying and you wish you do not need to go anywhere.
This feeling comes with its own moodiness as you drag yourself out of covers so that you can get things done…..
The mood🍃
I did not know I was quite grumpy yesterday. I had slept more than usual and I had to go to school and I wanted to read because morning time is my favourite time to read.
I warmed myself and left for class, greeting my classmates I met with a smile.
I realized I was grumpy after I had reacted unneccessarily to an innocent looking girl from another class whose offence was her eagerness to sit on the seat I had occupied. My lecture was over and I was supposed to leave the class for the next lecture and I was still seated down.
My facial expression was really not friendly and I wish I can remember her face to apologize.
I continued grumpily until I reached home before I decided to snap out of it……
Mood of the season🍈
It is celebration time
It is merry time
Everyone is getting their presents ready and getting foodstuffs for pies, food, snacks, drinks.
People are getting their houses decorated for 25th.
Along with all these prepartions is the mood changes, sweet-sour, tiring, exhausting feelings
Also, feelings like disappointment, unfulfilled desires and all the sad events of the year come rushing in plus the realization that the year is almost ended.
In all these moments, with the mixtures of emotions, how in the world can we cope with them and get properly ready for the day we have set aside for Christmas?
How can we sincerely get into the right mood for celebrating Jesus in swaddling clothes…..?
Getting into the mood🌳
- Wear warm clothes to sleep. Do not forget your socks. Remember I mentioned gratefulness for them in the previous post😂😂
- Drink something warm and Eat
- Take a warm shower
- Use a warm body cream (vaseline is good)
- Start your day with gratefulness
- Be intentional to keep your heart stocked wuth goodies….
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoevr things are if good report. If there be any virture and if there be any praise; think on these things
KING JAMES VERSION
Keeping your hearts stocked rightly will help to subside the moodiness that may come with the season.
As you prepare, singly or collectively, I hope you have moments of peace and silent joys🤗
