REFLECTION ON THE WEEK (JUNE 19 - 25, 2023) | ROBERT MUGISA

Each week starts in its own way and format. Who knows what will happen next? No one, except the one who created time.

I am glad you and your loved ones are here to see this day and week. There are those who haven't made it this far. It's not because we are so special or something, but because of God's wonderful mercy and grace.

My dear friend, as you may be aware, we live in the realities of life and time. Quite a lot is going on in our country Uganda. Part of it is good but the other is bad and really challenging. I know of people who have celebrated good times in the most recent past including birthdays, marriage, receiving of babies and new members into their homes and families, among others. Glory to God!

I am also aware that there are families which have lost loved ones in different circumstances including the people among whom were students who died in the recent attack on Lhubiriha Secondary School in Mpondwe, Kasese district. https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/national/three-arrested-as-security-issues-measures-after-kasese-school-attack-4275194 
May God strengthen and comfort the families of the bereaved.

As we continue to live, move and have our being this week, let us remain as open minded as possible. The good and bad times of last week are in the past. We must re-strategise and move on to more celebration of life. Should challenges come our way, we must be prepared to face them with the mind of winners, always remembering that we have a God who never leaves us, never forsakes us.

No doubt, there are many people who need our love and support. Let's reach out to them as much as possible. In doing this, we should be able to speak out when we feel that we are not able to assist. There are times in life (especially for those in authority or in positions of responsibility) when we feel we are strong enough to carry every burden that comes our way. This is quite unrealistic because we are human and have limits. Otherwise, we will end up breaking down. Being truthful to ourselves and the people around us shall go a long way in shaping and enhancing our wellbeing not only mentally but also physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Let's be good to ourselves and just as much as to all humanity.

Lastly, let's make prayer and communication part of our lifestyle. Whatever comes our way can be handled well if we constantly consult with the one who created heaven and earth. We are reminded of what is written in Psalm 121 that we look up to the hills; that our help shall come from nowhere else except form the Lord God Almighty who created heaven and earth. Glory to his Holy name. We stand in awe of Him.

I declare and proclaim that we are more than conquerors and that our enemies are already defeated. We have already overcome whatever is laid before and against us. We have escaped the trap of the evil one. We will not die this week but will live to see, experience, and tell God's goodness to the ends of the earth. Now and forevermore, amen.

Wishing you the very best of the day and days ahead.
Robert MUGISA Abwooli.

NOVEMBER 2024 | APPRECIATING MUMMY MOLLY MUSANA ADYEERI

Image
  It is a settled fact that every human being has a mother. I can't tell why I am already smiling but come to think of it, it is NOT just about human beings but every creature. Each of us, each and every creature here-living has a mother! This is the foundation of this conversation; the foundation of life. Allow me to make a reflection on/about my mother, Molly Musana Adyeeri. Let her be considered as point of contact for all mothers. Over the years, I have heard people say that none of us chose the parents that we have; no one chose the family where we belong. It could be true. But we are here and we are there, anyway. It is therefore important that we appreciate who we are, where we hail from, who we belong to and where we are headed. Should you ever find yourself not liking your parents or your family, please re-read this article. Should you feel grateful that you have the best parents and family to which you belong, please read this article again and share it with your...

MARCH 2025 | CELEBRATING WOMEN: DOING THE RIGHT THING

Image
Proverbs 31:10: “A Wife of Noble Character Who Can Find? She Is Worth Far More Than Rubies. Her Husband Has Full Confidence in Her and Lacks Nothing in Value.” Many (not all) men are gathering and sitting around tables to do just one thing: celebrate women and pray for them to flourish in life. I am talking about that man who knows the value and worth of a woman. We look forward to March 8, 2025 when we shall be celebrating International Women’s Day. To give it some context, we might have to date back to March 8 1917 when thousands of women in Russia heralded the start of the Russian revolution by going on strike to demand bread and in protest at the toll of Russian lives in the First World War. Within days, the Tsar had abdicated and women were given the vote. International Women’s Day has been celebrated ever since. Some other sources indicate that the United Nations began celebrating March 8 as International Women’s Day in 1975 which was the International Women’s Year. The day...

YOUR PERSONALITY REALLY MATTERS_IT IS EVERYTHING

Image
  Greetings! ​  We are still in the third week of 2025!  We did set off. The plane took off, already. We are on flight. First things first... How do you feel right now? Are you okay? Are your people okay? Is everything around you okay? If all is fine, thank and trust God more. If all is NOT that fine, pray and trust God to carry you through it all. All that I need is for you to be fine each day. The year seems to be running fast already. We are drawing to the end of January. Have you noticed? We don't have any time to regret or focus on the past negativities. We can focus more on the positives but even then, those shouldn't take too much of your time because there is more positive vibe to build and grow.  Your personality and character will assist in moving you in the positive direction. Whatever we have been, whatever we are and whatever we will be wholly depends on our personality and character. Be grateful if your personality and character checklist or tes...
