_A SEASON TO LIFT, NOT TO CRUSH_



Time is not slipping away — we are!

Time stands still like a mountain; it is we who drift like clouds.

Every season is a divine appointment. Every opportunity to serve is a sacred chance to sow kindness, not selfishness.

Wise souls lift others up. Fools tear others down.

_"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." — Psalm 90:12_

Real Life Example:

Chadwick Boseman, even at the peak of his fame, battled cancer privately while lifting others with hope and encouragement. He left not just movies, but a legacy of courage and kindness.



_STOP MEASURING YOUR JOURNEY WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S ruler._

The lion roars in the jungle; the shark reigns in the ocean.
Neither tries to switch places, neither despises the other.


_"But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another." — Galatians 6:4_

Real Life Example:

In sports, Usain Bolt didn’t try to be a swimmer like Michael Phelps. He mastered his lane — and became a legend.


_MIND HOW YOU DEAL WITH PEOPLE._

A broken crayon still colors.

A bent tree still gives shade.

Your words must build up, not break down.

Your actions must heal, not hurt.

_"Encourage one another and build each other up." — 1 Thessalonians 5:11_


Real Life Example:

Oprah Winfrey credits one teacher’s encouragement in her youth for sparking her destiny. A kind word can change a lifetime.

_To THOSE IN POSITIONS OF POWER, BEWARE:_

The same ladder you climb up today might be the one you fall from tomorrow.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated when your season shifts.

_"Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act." — Proverbs 3:27_


Real Life Example:

Leaders like Nelson Mandela showed the world that true strength is using power to heal, not to hurt — forgiving those who once jailed him.

You and I have not been tortured like Nelson Mandela. But Mbona, .......!

_ANYWAY,_

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Sow seeds of kindness.

Mend broken spirits. 

Patch up torn hopes.

_REMEMBER,_

Every life you touch is a living legacy that outlives you.

_"He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." — Proverbs 11:25_


Real Life Example:

Princess Diana used her fame to comfort the sick and the rejected. Her compassion still inspires millions long after her death.

_SEASON BY SEASON, LIFE CALLS YOU TO STEP UP, NOT STEP OVER._
     ⬇️⬇️

Brush off pride

Pick up compassion.

Light up paths.

Patch up broken dreams.

The world does not need more stars. It needs more lanterns.


_THIS IS THE  SEASON OF RISING._

Don’t just rise — raise others.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
