The Bamboo and the Oak

Once upon a time, in a lush forest, an oak tree stood tall and proud. Beside it, a bamboo seed lay buried in the soil, barely noticeable.

As the years passed, the oak grew quickly, stretching toward the sky. Birds built nests in its branches. Travelers rested in its shade. The oak mocked the ground below, where the bamboo seed still hadn’t broken through.

But the bamboo never gave up. It continued to grow roots deep into the earth, quietly and patiently.

After five years, something incredible happened. The bamboo finally shot out of the ground—and in just six weeks, it grew over 80 feet tall. Its strength and flexibility amazed everyone.

The forest learned a lesson that day: While the oak grew fast and looked impressive, the bamboo had been preparing itself all along—growing strong where no one could see.

Moral: Just because your progress isn’t visible doesn’t mean you’re not growing. Sometimes, the most important growth happens underground, in the dark. Keep going. Your time is coming.

"For there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud…" – Job 14:7-9

This image is a simple but profound illustration.

A mango tree, cut down—whether by nature or human hands—still bears fruit. Why? Because its roots are still in the ground.

In the same way, as long as you are breathing, there is hope. You can rise again. You can start over. You can still produce fruit.

Life may cut you down. Circumstances may try to silence your growth. But don’t forget this truth:
You are not done yet.

Stay rooted. Stay hopeful. You will outgrow your situation.

Happy Palm Sunday.
A day that reminds us of humble beginnings and triumphant endings.

So my people let us keep the faith alive because our season of harvest is very near.

Over 2,200 years ago, a man measured the Earth… using shadows and a stick.

In the 3rd century BCE, in the great Egyptian city of Alexandria, lived a man named Eratosthenes.
Some mocked him by calling him Beta — the second letter of the Greek alphabet — implying he was second-best at everything. But in truth, he was an Alpha in knowledge.

Astronomer, geographer, philosopher, poet, historian, mathematician, and director of the Great Library of Alexandria — he was a true Renaissance man… centuries before the Renaissance.

One day, he read in a scroll that in the city of Syene (modern-day Aswan), on June 21st, the summer solstice, a vertical stick cast no shadow at noon. The sun stood directly overhead. But in Alexandria, on the same day and same hour, a stick did cast a shadow.

Where most would overlook such a detail, Eratosthenes saw a cosmic clue.

He reasoned:
If the Earth were flat, the sun’s rays would hit both sticks equally — the shadows would match. But they didn’t.
So, what could explain the difference?
Only a curved Earth.

He measured the angle of the shadow in Alexandria. It was about 7 degrees — roughly 1/50th of a full circle.
He hired someone to measure the distance between Syene and Alexandria: about 800 kilometers.
Then he did the math:
800 km × 50 = 40,000 km — the circumference of the Earth.

That’s astonishingly accurate.
No satellites. No telescopes. No calculators.
Just observation, curiosity, and a mind that dared to ask why.

Eratosthenes became the first person to calculate the size of a planet — and he did it by watching how a stick cast its shadow.

Being traumatized as a kid affect the both gender till there adulthood.
So let's discuss about the effect of one "NEGLECT"
It's not often talked about,which can lead to depression in female but most likely lead to anger, aggression and depression in male.....
So the question is how do a victim overcome the effect of negletion without feeling alone?

You've probably seen or heard or read these before but please read them again.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to take the first step.

Start small. Start unsure. Start scared. Just start.

The magic isn’t in perfection—it’s in persistence. Keep showing up for yourself, and one day you’ll look back and realize how far you’ve come.

Keep going—you’re closer than you think.

Putting Faith Into Practice

Faith is essentially trust, which is a pivotal part of following Jesus.

Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God..." And Ephesians 2:8 explains, “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

So we shouldn’t put too much faith in our own faith, but put our faith in God. Only He can create, save, and sustain. We can't know all things, but we can know Him—who knows all things. Which is why we would be wise to put our trust in Him.

But putting our faith into practice isn’t always easy. The writer of Hebrews tells us that faith begins with having confidence in the things we hope for. More than that, it is having assurance for things we cannot see.

While this sounds like a contradiction, faith actually requires us to believe in something outside of ourselves. If we could see it and measure it, it wouldn’t require faith. For instance, we read in Scripture that God created the earth and everything in it. But we weren’t there when it happened. It requires faith to believe that.

Jesus says that those who believe in Him will inherit eternal life—but that’s a promise that has yet to come. We have to have faith that Jesus will keep His promise, and that one day we will be in heaven with Him.

Faith is the assurance that what God promised will happen. It is the confidence that what Jesus said is actually true. This is why people in Scripture faithfully waited for God to fulfill His promises toward them. Most of them might not have seen that fulfillment in their lifetime, but they had faith that God would still follow through.

Take some time to consider your own faith. Is your faith filled with confident hope? Pray for God to give you the assurance that all of His promises will come true. And as you do that, learn from the stories mentioned in Hebrews 11 on what it means to put faith into practice.

Be Patient
*DON'T DRAG THE TRAY!*

*A man was sent to the annual national convention of his professional body by his company.*

*The convention was a congregation of about 10,000 people.*

*During one of the days at the convention, it was time for lunch and people were being served.*

*This man saw that they were serving people beside him left & right but they were not serving him and the people on his row.*

*He shouted at the ladies serving and they told him to keep calm that there is enough food for everyone & that it will soon get to his turn.*

*He watched angrily as they passed the tray containing plates of soup and amala before him again twice without serving him.*

*When he saw another lady carrying the tray, he stood up angrily & dragged the tray of ewedu soup to take his food by force.*

*Suddenly, the whole tray containing about 6 plates of soup landed on his head as he dragged the tray from the lady's hands.*

*His white cloth was stained, soiled and spoilt. Pepper got into his eyes and he was shouting, 'my eyes oo, somebody help me, my eyes oo, pepper in my eyes oo.' Suddenly, he was called to the high table because his company had penciled him down as their resource person for the conversation, following the fact that their much awaited person didn't turn up.*

*People around him had to drag him out as he could not open his eyes because of the pepper that was still in his eyes. It was a complete show of shame & a reward of impatience.*

*Dear reader, many of us are like this man; we feel others are already 'eating' success, breakthroughs, fame, popularity, academic excellence, accomplishments and we are yet to be served our own 'food' and we are being tempted to 'drag the tray' and take our own food by force.*

*Friends, I know waiting ****** is not an easy ******. Atimes we feel our friends have left us behind. Many that we started as single ladies together are now married with children & here we are, still single and no ray of proposal, talk less of marriage.*

*Some of us, many of our friends that we got married the same year are through with child bearing and here we are, no miscarriage once, talk less of giving birth, and we feel like 'dragging the tray.'*

*At times, many of us feel that many of our friends that we started work together have left us behind as we see their career blossoming, we feel the only way we can also see our careers validated is to 'drag the tray.'*

*Friends, be encouraged! The one serving this 'food' of marriage, success, promotion, career breakthrough is not a man. HE is GOD, your Maker!*

*HE has your own plate of 'food' in HIS tray. At the appointed time, HE will serve you & when you will be eating your own food, those who have eaten before you will watch your mouth as you 'eat' with pleasure.*

*Don't 'drag the tray.' Don't take short cut. If you get the 'miracle' by 'dragging the tray' you will end up in ridicule as you will later be dragged out in shame as the 'pepper' in your eyes will make the end of your 'miracle' a show of shame.*

*If you are waiting on man, hmmm it's well with You. But if you are waiting on GOD, your waiting ****** is not a wasted ******!*

*As We continue this Year, Please Wait on GOD. Your 'food' is closer to you than you think.*

*THIS YEAR IS FILLED WITH YOUR THANKSGIVING, TESTIMONIES, GRATITUDE, CONGRATULATIONS, AND PRAISES TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD*

*Therefore:*

*Don't Drag The Tray!*
DO HAVE A PLEASANT WEEK AHEAD.
