GRATEFUL FOR A PET

DAY 11 of 30
Today i thank God for a pet. My pet was a wonderful dog called Tasker. I love nice, neat and well trained dogs.
Tasker was a brownosh-black mongrel breed, we had gotten months before we moved to our new country home. I took it in as a puppy and began to train it.
I trained it and it could obey some simple.commands like sitting,shaking hands etc.
Tasker was a lovely dog that i felt almost became a part of the family, placing a phone call back home from Uni and asking of 'everybody' wasn't complete until i had asked after 'Tasker'.
Tasker. An aunt suggested the name while I was reviewing the best names. The name is actually a variation of Laska, the first dog that landed on the moon.
It was a lovely dog and my siblings couldn't help crying when it got so old and died some times last year.
Every one needs a pet, perhaps a dog or whatever you like...Tasker was a great pet and I am so grateful to God to have had it.

I love to read your feed backs on your comment section of you are open to sharing with us.

Just being grateful,

GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR FINANCIAL BLESSNGS

DAY 10 of 30

Today I am grateful to GOD for financial blessings. Today being a sunday, i love to do a spirituality post. At the same time I will love to share personal stories as well.
I have been blessed in so many ways financially and i might just sight some instances, the reason i will share a few personal stories is to break the ice. You know most times we live in cultures where people feel rather uncomfortable to talk about money, it is even very common to find couples not really open to discussion on finances and yet this is very crucial to the health of any relationship
Some moments of financial blessings I remember was when I was home from the Polytechnic and as a young guy, my mum handed me some thousands of naira (a few hundred dollars) , to buy some clothes for myself- wow! that was about 10 years ago and for me that was much,so I went on bought myself the nicest bagggy jeans and stuffs like that and i did got some shares of a particular bank...For me that experience of receiving that financial blessing was more to me than the money or the stuffs i bought with them. It was both a lesson in giving and parenting... I am grateful for this blessing.
One similar situation was when i received another sum- some thousands of naira (a few hundred dollars) from my Dad, for my registration, school fees and accommodation when I gained admission to the University. I believed that was also a phenomenal financial blessing to me.
One afternoon while working as an intern and resident consultant at a construction site, an elderly Engineer wrote me a cheque and shook my hands and said with a smile, "we appreciate your efforts" that also was a moment of financial blessing.
One recent financial blessing was also when i received my first Google cheque -a few hundred dollars, ( I might share more of these later or in person..) Another instance was when I made my first earnings in Network Marketing and I still did weeks ago ( as a matter of fact, our company A2W, pays weekly in dollars!)
I have been blessed to receive financial blessings from a free bus ticket to other huge financial blessings and I am grateful to God for them all.
It's God's desire that we experience financial blessings through different means everyday of our lives. This is becaue there is enough money in the world to be made and to move around- lots of money!

I pray for good fortune in everything you do, and for your good health—that your everyday affairs prosper, as well as your soul! 3 John 1:2 MSG

The more grateful we are for God's financial blessings the better positioned we are to receive more from the abundance that exists.

Forever grateful,

Emmanuel Ayeni

THANKING GOD FOR A PERSON THAT INFLUENCED ME

It's been a great day. I can't but be grateful to God for journey mercy-over 6 hours of traveling on Nigerian roads and arriving at my destination safe and sound.
Moving by the gratitude plan, I will thank God for a person that has influenced me. We meet people everyday and every time but they impact us
in different ways.
I have been positively influenced by a number of people over the years,yet I am grateful for someone who had influenced me positively- especially into the world of good books,
self help books- My elder sister. She always brought home some christian literature and self help books from her college's library, and I found them so wonderful, from reading Gifted hands by Ben Carson, to reading Power of positive thinking by Norman Vincent Peale and other amazing books by John Maxwell.These books all whetted my appetite for more , till I went for more great books by Zig Ziglar at the state library. The works of Zig Ziglar influenced me more into the world of motivation and a bit of selling.
I thank God for all the wonderful people who influenced me, most especially my elder sister, Layo.


With all Gratitude,

Emmanuel Ayeni

THANK GOD FOR A COMFORTABLE THING

Today as always I am once again a grateful soul. I am grateful for a comforting thing.
In actual sense there are so many things we can always be grateful for as they are still comforting amidst the vagaries of life.
It's so comforting to know that though sorrow last for a night time, joy comes in the morning.
It's comforting to know that God's plans for us are plans of good not of evil.

It's also comforting to know the whole world lies amidst so much abundance and if we believe, desire and add action to faith, we will surely receive in bountiful measures.

It's comforting to know that a man can begin to alter the course of his own life through conscious effort based on God's ability resident in Him.

Alll these are comfortable and I am grateful to God.

Grateful soul,
Emmanuel Ayeni

THANK GOD FOR PROBLEMS SOLVED

DAY 7 of 30


THANK GOD FOR PROBLEMS SOLVED
If we set our mind to thank and appreciate God, we will discover how indebted we are to him.
A Yoruba proverb stresses that ' gratitude is usually the product of deep thinking' . This means we can never run out of reasons for being grateful.
So tonight I choose to thank God for problems solved. The whole world is full of problems ... and also solutions. It all depends on the spectacle through which we see the world.
One person looks and sees problems another looks and sees or anticipates a solution.
Problems give us capacity for growth, I thank GOD for problems solved.
It will be almost impossible to pinpoint only one problem solved out of the many wonderful stories i could possibly share, however, I am so grateful for how the problem of my University admission was solved.
I had graduated from the high school and applied for admission into the university via the University Matriculation Examination but I stillcouldnt gain admssion due to my low test scores, I took the exam the 2nd and 3rd time, I refused to give up my plan and desire for a University degree and so I attempted the exam again even while at the polytechnic and I finally made it to the University.

I am grateful for this and many more problems solved.

Grateful!

THANK GOD FOR FAMILY

30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE CHALLENGE
DAY 6 0F 30

THANK GOD FOR FAMILY
Today I am grateful for family members. The family is the smallest unit of every society. Family is the greatest unit of socialization. My family members are members of my clan, we are the basic structure on which the.entire civilization hinges. The family is the first unit of education,social interaction and integration in the first developmental phase of any child.

My family is my home team, they got my back anytime. They believed in me when there was actually nothing to really believe. They kept on hoping even when there was nothing to hope for and even no hope in sight.
My family members are my best supporters, my number one fan base.They are my best cheer-leaders.
My family members are my soundboard for my numerous ideas, they listen objectively, critique constructively while commending, recommending and commending me all the way.
My family members are my key investors, they are worth.more than a billion dollars to.me.
I have been privileged to come from a great and interesting family with wonderful Parents, Sisters, brothers, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandpa- and ofcourse, my fiancee too,they are all God's invaluable blessings to me and I am forever grateful.

I am sure we all have got one or more family members we are grateful for.Please join the gratitude challenge ad share them with us in the comments section.below.

THANK GOD FOR TALENT

THANK GOD FOR TALENT
In this day 5 of 30, while I am grateful for a nice day with a wonderful movie hangout with friends and members of my Network Marketing company (Avenues to Wealth), I will still keep to the current gratitude plan and appreciate God for TALENT.
Talent is the innate ability developed or undeveloped which a man possesses. A talent is a gift or a natural endowment. I thank God for a couple of talents I am blessed with both tapped and yet untapped. Researchers propound that every super achiever has only used an infinitesimal part of all his mental endowment! indeed we are powerful beyond measure.

A study once revealed that the human brain is capable of comprehending a minimum of over 27 languages in his life-time, this shows the extent at which it's possible to not have developed all our vast talents- everyone is a potential hyperglot!
While I may not be a polyglot ( a master of multiple languages) yet, I am grateful for several other talents, ability to connect deeply with people of varying backgrounds,interest in new languages, a unique voice that has been complimented by God's grace times without number, and mostespecially my speaking and writing talent. They have been a blessing to me in times past and I believe they also hold for me a world of possibilities now and in the not-distant future. I am grateful to GOD .

What talents are you grateful for, I will appreciate your decision to share with me in the comments section.
Be blessed!
Emmanuel Ayeni
