On the paths of life I have had the privilege of walking on the shores of Burutu in Delta and Twin Island in Cross Rivers, on the shores of Takwa Bay in Lagos and waterside of Argungu in Kebbi, on the Lagos Bar-beach and Abraka beach, on the waters by Ogbogologo market in Asaba to Ikpoba river in Efosa community behind Block of Flats where I was born and grew up... and indeed many more Kiagbodo, Calabar, Aboloma, Onitsha, Sapele, and others.
My footprint like the one above are no longer there.
I simply walked and watched the waters wash over them.
But there is a faithful God Who knows the number of hairs on my head, Who also knows what He has enabled me to do all these years applying His principles in my life and Foundation.
God knows my paths, my lying down and rising up, my walks and works, my joys and challenges, my helps and helpers.
It has been a rhythmic heartbeat of life, ups and downs, but God has been faithful.
By January 1st 2020 God will make it 15 solid years of TLF, to Him be all glory. It's with nostalgia that I recall all the preparations towards the kick-off January 1st 2005 in Benin City. Many who started with me are far and away, but the wheel goes round and round. It can only get better, as it already is. It is with deep gratitude to God that I remember and thank all those who have been involved with TLF for good. It is very possible that there are many others who have been so involved who I've never known in person or their inputs and prayers, God bless them all. For our heroes past, their memories can never be forgotten. For new comers, hearty welcome. For onlookers well done in your own endeavours in making society better through charity and social development, may our works intertwine for good and God's will.
I continue to walk,  whether or not the Sands remember me, God does, the Rock of my Salvation. Whether or not TLF is known or its impact felt, God knows, the Omniscient, with this I'm satisfied and happy to continue my walk and work.

 Tina Clark
Merry Christmas and Happy 2020 in advance

Theme Bible Verses

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Proverbs 16:28 A perverse man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. Proverbs 17: 9 He who forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter alienates a friend. Leviticus 19:16 You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbour: I am the LORD. Proverbs 26:20 For lack of wood the fire goes out; and where there is no whisperer, quarrelling ceases. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. Proverbs 11:13 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing hidden. Psalms 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Charles For: Frien...

Our TLF 2 Day Event started on Thursday and ended yesterday Friday. We had the person of Mrs Ishioma Francis who came to share good news with the children. We had Art competition and prizes were given. We had spelling bee and gifts were given. We had skipping competition and gifts were given. We had recitation of poems originally written by the children and gifts were given. We also used the opportunity to remind everyone of our theme for August. We shared our drinks and biscuits and everyone had a nice time. The children interacted and had a nice time. It came to a happy end and everyone went back home safely. We look forward to more activities such as these. We thank God for the success and blessings. God bless all those who contributed in various ways. Remember that, the ultimate law is love. TLF

Did You Know?

Creativity comes from God the Creator and He has given us pro-creative abilities in different areas to make the world a better place and provide works of charity. In TLF we are big on arts, crafts and creativity. We celebrate creativity. Many people have been able to support charitable causes from creative art exhibitions and sales. Many others have also used their creative works to raise awareness on various laudable causes for social development. Take for instance in our theme for this month, we have selected some creative art works that will help pass our message to us in an artistic way. Also in our Centre, we host children who often come just to draw and make things from recycled materials. We strongly invite you to like our facebook page - TLF Creativity. We also share and retweet such creativity on our X handle that we also invite you to like and share. Our various artworks in TLF add to the posters we paste around and the comics we also produce and share out. Join our facebook ...
