a story about a foolish man and a wise man:

The Story
There was once a foolish man who lived in a small village. He was known throughout the village for his reckless and impulsive behavior.

One day, the foolish man decided to build a house. He chose a beautiful spot near a river, but he didn't bother to check if the land was stable. He quickly built his house and moved in.

Meanwhile, a wise man lived on the other side of the village. He was known for his thoughtful and deliberate behavior. When he heard about the foolish man's new house, he decided to pay him a visit.

The wise man saw that the foolish man's house was built on unstable land and was in danger of being washed away by the river. He warned the foolish man about the danger, but the foolish man just laughed and told him not to worry.

The Flood
A few days later, a big storm came to the village, and the river began to flood. The foolish man's house was washed away, and he was left standing in the rain, wondering what to do.

The wise man, on the other hand, had built his house on high ground, far away from the river. He was safe and dry, and he invited the foolish man to come and stay with him until the floodwaters receded.

The Lesson
The foolish man was grateful for the wise man's kindness, and he asked him why he had been so foolish. The wise man replied, "My dear friend, wisdom is not just about knowing what to do, but also about knowing what not to do. I knew that building a house near the river was a bad idea, so I avoided it. You, on the other hand, did not take the time to think things through, and now you are paying the price."

The foolish man learned a valuable lesson that day. He realized that wisdom and foresight were essential for making good decisions, and he made a vow to always think things through carefully before acting.

From that day on, the foolish man became known as the wise fool, and he lived a happier and more prosperous life, thanks to the wisdom and kindness of the wise man.

7 WAYS TO BUILD TRUST IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP/MARRIAGE (PART 1)

The short story in between should teach you a lesson.

Trust is the backbone of any strong relationship.

It’s what makes love safe, secure, and long-lasting. But trust isn’t automatic—it is built through consistent actions, honesty, and reliability.

Here are seven powerful ways to build trust in your relationship or marriage:

1. BE HONEST, EVEN ABOUT THE SMALL THINGS

Let me tell you a short story

Chijioke and Ada had been married for three years when Chijioke suddenly started acting restless. He was distant, easily irritated, and always on his phone. Ada noticed but assumed it was work stress.

One evening, a strange number called his phone while he was in the shower. Out of curiosity, Ada answered.

“Mr. Chijioke, this is our final warning. Pay back the ₦2 million loan or face legal action.”

Ada’s heart dropped. A loan? For ₦2 million? She had no idea her husband had borrowed money.

When he came out, she confronted him. He sighed and said, “I didn’t want to stress you, so I didn’t tell you.”

Ada felt betrayed. Not because of the debt, but because he had kept it a secret.

That night, she lay awake thinking, “If he can hide this, what else is he hiding?”

And that was the foundation of distrust she developed towards her husband. She started doubting most of the things he says

Here’s the truth:

Hiding the truth, even with good intentions, damages trust. Ada wasn’t upset about the loan itself—she was upset about the secrecy.

When you are honest, even about small things, your partner feels safe and secure. When you start keeping secrets, doubt creeps in.

How do you achieve this?

Speak the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable.
If you make a mistake, own up to it instead of covering it up.
Never assume small lies won’t matter—they always do in the long run.

Biblical Wisdom: “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” — Proverbs 12:22

Two days ago we celebrated mother's day, come to think of it who is a mother?

A mother is someone who nurtures, cares for, and provides love and support to a child. This can be biological, adoptive, or even in a chosen family dynamic. A mother isn’t just defined by giving birth but by the role she plays in a child's life—offering guidance, protection, and unconditional love.

Characteristics of a mother

A mother is often characterized by a mix of emotional, psychological, and practical qualities. While every mother is unique, some common characteristics include:

1. Unconditional Love – A mother’s love is deep, unwavering, and not based on conditions. She cares for her children regardless of their flaws.

2. Nurturing Nature – She provides emotional and physical support, ensuring her children feel safe, loved, and cared for.

3. Patience – Raising children requires immense patience, from teaching life lessons to handling tantrums.

4. Selflessness – A mother often puts her child’s needs before her own, sacrificing time, sleep, and personal desires for their well-being.

5. Strength and Resilience – She remains strong through challenges, whether emotional, financial, or personal, to support her family.

6. Guidance and Wisdom – A mother imparts life lessons, values, and knowledge, helping her children navigate life’s ups and downs.

7. Protectiveness – She instinctively protects her child from harm, whether emotional or physical.

8. Compassion and Empathy – Understanding her child’s feelings and struggles, she provides comfort and reassurance.

9. Dedication and Hard Work – Whether she’s a stay-at-home mom, a working mother, or balancing both, she is committed to providing a better life for her child.

10. Forgiveness – Even when children make mistakes, a mother forgives and continues to support them.

While these characteristics are common, motherhood looks different for everyone. Some mothers may express love through actions rather than words, while others may be more emotional.

What do you think defines a mother best?
