THE KING FIRST

 


*THE KING FIRST*

Some days ago, my son challenged me: "Why do you always serve daddy's food first?" I simply said, "He is the king of the house, his food gets dished first". 

"You ought to serve me first..." He argued, I shook my head and said "No, daddy is the head of the house, he is the king and the king must be served first..." he didn't agree but he kept quiet.

I served some snacks yesterday evening shortly before dinner and my son requested for his, I told him to take it to daddy first before everyone gets served. He wanted his own first, I said "No, the king gets served first." 

I gave dad two of the snacks and we all had one each, my son quickly blurted, "Why two? Why would you serve dad two and give me one?" I said because he is the king and the king is above us. He must be doubly served.

Tonight while dishing dinner, he requested his to be served first, I said "no, the king must be served first" I let him know that daddy is the head of the house and his interest, wishes and desires comes first. His attention, affection and authority comes first. My son is just 4 years old but he is learning to see and respect daddy as the head, we are all under him. He is the head of the home and final authority. We just must give him that first place, respect and honour.

It is wrong to place our children's interests above our husbands. My son often cries because he wants to talk at the same time daddy is talking to me. I tell him to keep quiet till I'm through giving the king attention. He can then talk. 

Children are so adorable. They stir the love and affection of a mother. We love them so much we do not want to see them cry. We love to give them almost everything they want but we shouldn't allow them to occupy the space, attention and time meant for daddy. We should learn to distinguish the two. The king must always come first. We are under our husbands' protection and leadership. Let's give them the respect and honour they deserve by placing them first after God.

Everyone deserves happiness, hence don't apply hope where it isn't needed.. If you're dating without marriage at heart, you could easily hurt the heart that loves you.... # Dating Advice # 1. DATE a man who is ready to settle down and not one that comes to check "if it will work out" ~ If sex becomes the issue; love can never prevail.  2. Never ask a man " When are you coming to see my people? " ~ Give yourself insurance before seeking assurance... ~ Don't search for a husband; rather seek for job opportunities. 3. " I will marry you " " Be the mother of my future kids" Listen; ~ Those who you hold dearly to your heart are those who are likely to walk away boldly without a flinch.. Therefore; ~ Whosoever that deserves you, will "fight" for your love.. ~ Pr...

FIRST DATE IDEAS (For Brothers

  *FIRST DATE IDEAS (For Brothers )* First Date is a time to get to know more about each other. AND to have a good time, relax and begin bonding.. Crack jokes and have a nice meal.   It is not a time to launch a full scale investigation into her past, present and future participle. There will be other dates na.  Ask about her family, about her education, her hobbies, her fears.. But easy with the questions, before the dates starts to resemble an interview abi audition.  Do not be in a hurry to ask her questions that are way too personal and invasive. Let her feel close and safe with you first, let her get into the groove. You can't be asking a lady if she's a virgin on the first date (even 5th date self), or if she has stretch marks, telling her you don't like stratch marks oh...

LET GO OF THE UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP*

  * LET GO OF THE UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHI P* Have you ever noticed that  Sometimes you got so stuck in a relationship to the extend that you start to think of compromising your core values just to keep a men, thinking maybe if you do this or give him this maybe he will notice you or he will change.  You start giving your everything, sleeping with him just to make it work and sometimes you lose yourself to the extend that you apologize for his faults, being stuck where you ain't wanted .  The more you give yourself, the more you feel broken but don't want to admit it.  The more you do so, the more you loose your value before him and he will continue to take advantage of you.  It so painful but you just have to let go and after a year or 2 you will thank that guy for rejecting you.  It is not going to be easy but you need to first admit that you are in a mess, find someone mature spiritually and trustworthy, confide in them and ask them to help you get out...
