Month Review

 

This month we looked at the theme #New Beginning! We in TLF believe in New Beginnings as it entails the start of everything needed to start a wholesome life. New Beginnings are like foundations where something good and worthwhile can be set up on. Our lives must be built on a proper foundation because if the foundation be faulty what can one do? 

We often pursue riches of the pocket, but we can pursue riches of the mind and heart. For God has told us in His Word that we command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in Him, the living God, Who gives us richly all things to enjoy. They are to do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

As a charity and social development organisation, TLF strives to ensure that all concerned- trustees, members, volunteers, beneficiaries, benefactors and all are circumspect, wise and humble enough to have new beginnings every step of their life's journey. When you are on a wrong road, it takes wisdom, humility and focus on doing right to turn around or divert to the right road. 

When Jesus is in our lives we will surely enjoy freshness, newness, hope and the drive to be on the right path and build on the right foundation. When people use their January to chart a new course and resolve to start anew on the right path, then you’ll know that they have succeeded.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
