For a lot of reasons this week, I can say I'm so thankful. God has been so good to me(not like He's not always been good, but He's been extra,extra good this week).
It started on Sunday, on our way from church, we discovered there was this terrible traffic on our route only to find out it was caused by an accident. Not the everyday car hits car and somersaults(I hope I got that right), but it was very nasty.According to story tellers, about 10 cars got burnt and about 20 or more people died and scores were injured. I'm grateful because again according to the timing of the story tellers, it was not so long after we left that road on the way to church that morning that the accident occured.Although I have been in a similar accident before and came out unhurt, but this was a different thing for me, seeing people just roast to death just like that.
Then again, yesterday night, around 8pm on my way from work, by some form of miracle, I was again saved from another accident when the car I was in was almost hit by a bus on the side where I was sitted.
I guess God just has need of me(and I'm humbled at that thought) because I've always been saved one way or the other.
I'm grateful for a lot of other reasons, but these easily top the list.
So I guess it won't be out of place to say thanks to God.
To laugh often; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; whether by a healthy kid, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because U lived.This is to have succeeded.

DIS IS OFFICIALLY D DUMBEST LETTER EVER WRITTEN
This was so funny I had to share it. It's not my own please, I just borrowed it to share, so enjoy...
Dear ...,
I 'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your Pa read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 minutes of your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address.
This place is really nice. I even have a washing machine. I 'm not sure it works so well, though, Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain, we haven't seen it since.
The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.
About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
Tola locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your brother.
Uncle Tomiwa fell into a swimming pool last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated; he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Tola was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back, they drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. I am now closing this letter and will share more good news with you again next time.
Your Favorite Aunt,
P.S...If this letter does not reach you, please let me know, I will send u another.
