A truly happy new year to all! To all who have been checking in, I am sorry for the long silence. I have just started a new program at a university and I am completely frazzled!
But I am back now, and beginning next week, I will be posting an article a week, instead of daily….loads of school work, sorry:-(.. .

May God bless and favour you this year…
Warmly

Sarah

God specialises in bringing good out of bad, restoration out of crucifiction and joy out of sorrow. May the joy of Christmas bless your heart during this season

My postings in the next couple of weeks will be sporadic. I am taking a break for the Christmas season.

To all those who have been checking in, thank you so much for your encouragement. I wish you the very best of the season. May the Joy, love and peace of Christmas be with you all in Jesus name.

Just because a man works in psychiatry does not mean that he is also mad. But it does mean that he has to be extra careful lest he adopts the characteristics of his environment. We are influenced by our surroundings, whether consciously or unconsciously. So, living in a world that’s focusing more and more on the gratification of selfish needs means we have to be that much more careful that we don’t become callous and insensitive to the plights of others. The gift of empathy, the ability to feel the pains and hurts of others and seek its alleviation, is therefore, one of which our present world is desperately in need. Let empathy, therefore, bloom and blossom in your heart in your daily dealings with others.

Along with diseases like cancer and diabetes, one disease of which our world could do without is that of talking way too much. Tempering your tongue to learn to speak only when necessary ensures that you will be least likely to be ignored when you have something significant to say.

I have never really been able to see the benefits of hoarding. After all, since life as we know it is so full of the weird and the ironical, in the event of our demise there’s always a high possibility that what we spend our energy hoarding will be taken over by people we did not particularly care for while we were alive: people who probably hated our  own guts with passion in return.
