SEASON TWO:
DAY FOUR:
Today’s Quote:
“Never insult an alligator until after you have crossed the
river.”-Cordell Hull
Oftentimes, the dark, unending, winding, confusing, trials and tribulations are simply disguised to a glorious path. No matter how dark is the night it will always break into day. Let’s keep hope alive. Happy new day and I hope it's getting to a great start. Welcome to day four of “Andy Omoregie Daily Inspirational Dose”
THE BEAUTY OF A RIVER:
When I was a child growing up in my hometown Benin-City, I used to go to the river in my village. That was the source of our daily water. I was always fascinated by the calmness and stillness of the river. It’s just there waiting, as people of all ages would gather to fetch water or play by the river. With this I totally agree with Hal Boyle when he said, “What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.”
Hal Boyle is right because each time I come to the river with my brothers and sisters I noticed that in spite of the large amount of water we take including others, the river still remain the same. It never decrees and it keeps flowing from one end to another.
Two things that I see as mystery, one is “life” and the other is “river”. The beauty of a flowing river, glistening in the sun, and a child bubbling with life are manifestation of God’s wonderful creations. Most times if you see water flowing, you will think it has a mind of its own. In the beautiful words of Marcus Aurelius, “Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place and this too will be swept away.” That’s the irony, just like life.
