JULY 2022: TIME KEEPS TICKING, LEAVE THE BURDENS BEHIND

Welcome to the month of July 2022! Thank God, thank goodness. Who knew that we would get here? Faith, hope and love have carried us this far especially through the past months of the year and we are confident that we will go through those remaining. I know that there have been days when some of us felt like and indeed we were at the verge of collapsing or falling. But here we are, glory to God in the highest. May God strengthen the weak and restore hope for the hopeless.

My dear friend, you are highly appreciated. I am happy to be sharing this life with you. I pray for you. Let us celebrate because this is the day that we have as a gift from our Creator. Let us rejoice and be glad in it according to Psalm 118:24.

I recently wrote an article https://mugisawrites.blogspot.com/2022/06/settlediscussion-human-rights-are.html to the effect that human rights are enjoyed by the living, not the dead meaning that as long as we still have breath, let us make it a point to enjoy our natural entitlements such as the right to personal liberty, freedom from torture and other forms of inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; health, live in a clean and healthy environment, among others.

The irony is that life is short and yet too long for those who live it the right way. It is written in John 10:10 that the the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came that we may have life and life in abundance. Allow me invite us to the reality of living life one day at a time and to full enjoyment which involves acknowledging God in all our ways as per Proverbs 3:5-6 and surrendering to his perfect will and guidance. We always pray and request that God’s will be done here on earth as it is in heaven – that is it, may it be done.

In this month of July, let us get rid of the past and anything that wants to take us back to our darkest realities. Each of us has a blank page at the start of each day and more so at the start of the month. There are things we wouldn’t want to move with into the days that follow. Let’s wash them off compeletely. There are people we wouldn’t wish to go with on the next journey, let us confess and help them understand why. There are burdens we don’t wish to continue carrying, let us rid ourselves of the same. We must move freely without hinderance. What we will have to carry along is a light bag containing the fruit of the Holy Spirit that is love, joy, peace, patience or long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. All we need for life is herein contained.

Conclusively, let us continue carrying one another’s burdens as written in Galatians 6:2 thereby fulfilling the law of Christ. Friends, no person is an island and no one can manage on their own. We need each other today and this month more than ever before. Let us spread the message of love and respect for each other. Let us empathise as much as possible and work towards equality and equity. The people in positions of influence should use their status to make life easier and better for all remembering that we are but sojourners. We are here today, we will be somewhere else tomorrow. What legacy shall we leave for posterity?

It’s a new month; an opportunity to correct the mistakes of the past and work towards being the best we can be, God being our helper.

JANUARY TO MARCH 2026: WHAT IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES? ENDURING THROUGH AND THROUGH

Image
I may not be certain of how you are feeling or what exactly you are going through but as a fellow human being, I know that there must be a situation or situations that you could be facing that are either exciting or dismaying. I am placing these thoughts together two days after I attended burial of one of the leaders (Chairman LC1) within my local area who passed away in an accident on Friday February 27, 2026 somewhere, between Luweero and Wobulenzi (as told). When I first got the news, it didn’t occur to me that the name I heard was relating to the person I knew. I can’t tell why I thought it was another person. It happens for the mind. It was not until I went to see one of the engineers in the business center that I got clear information that the person who had passed on was the leader I knew. He was no more! Further information was that the people he was moving with, had also died. Such pain! The past two months of 2026 have been marred with news of deaths here and there. If no...

JUNE INTO JULY | THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S GOODNESS

Image
  Psalm 23:6 | Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all my days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Welcome to the month of July, 2025! June is done just like we went through May, April, March, February and January of this year.  I thank God for this far He has brought each of us and our loved ones (people within our circles). Look or see how far you have come! From the many years past, to the last six months of this year! Isn’t our Creator amazing? He is, very amazing. Over the past, we have experienced both good times on the one hand and challenging times on the other. I believe that all these were for the glory, honor and praise to God. We thank God for the commemorations and celebrations. We rejoice with those who rejoice and stand with those who have faced trials of different kinds. What are you focusing on this season? Who are you dealing with? Who do you intend to deal with? Will the relationship you are in or intending to get into yield...
