The entire Tina Love Foundation Remembers and Pays Tribute to Mr. C. I. D. Clark

It is surreal, I miss you my father. Tina's Daddy (September 24th to June 6th)

Beware of the high cost of low living.

Life consists of:

The tender teens;

The teachable twenties;

The tireless thirties;

The fiery forties;

The forceful fifties;

The serious sixties;

The sacred seventies;

The aching eighties and

The nostalgic nineties.

Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one,

Have oft times no connection.

Knowledge dwells in the heads replete with thoughts of other men:

Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.

Knowledge is proud that he had learned so much.

Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

He who knows not, and knows not that 

He knows not, is a fool, shun him.

H who knows not, but knows that he

Knows not, is a child, teach him.

He who knows, but knows not that he 

Knows, is asleep, wake him up.

But he who knows, and knows that he 

Knows, is wise, follow him.

A dad is a mender of toys, a leader of boys.

He's a changer of fuses, a healer of bruises.

He's a mover of couches, a healer of ouches.

He's a hanger of screens, a counselor of teens.

He's a pounder of nails, a teller of tales.

He's a dryer of dishes, a fulfiller of wishes.

Bless him, oh Lord.

"Maybe" is another form of deceit.

"Maybe" really means "no".

"Maybe" avoids commitment without confrontation

By saying maybe we build a lingering expectation on

Which we don't intend to deliver.

Money is the means by which you can buy:

A bed but not sleep;

Books but not brains;

Medicine but not health;

A house but not a home;

Amusement but not happiness.

People are a lot like bones. There are four kinds:

1. The wishbone people:

They hope for, they long for, they wish for, and sigh;

They want things to come, but aren't willing to try.

2. The funnybone people:

They laugh, grin and gaggle, smile, winkle the eye'

If work is made funny, they'll give it a try.

3. The jawbone people:

They scold, jaw and sputter, they froth, nag and cry;

They're long on the talk, but they are short on the try.

4. The backbone people:

They pitch in and do it, they never say die;

They come forth victorious, for they know how to try.

The stomach is the only part of man, which can be fully satisfied.

The yearning of man's brain for new knowledge and experience 

And for more pleasant and comfortable surroundings never can be

Completely met. It is an appetite, which cannot be appeased.

When someone smokes in my presence, his vice is not private. 

His foul emanations find their way into my lungs and bloodstream.

His stench becomes my stench and clings to me. And he raises

My chance of heart disease and lung; lets put it this way:

Your freedom to smoke ends where my lungs begin. 

A gossip is a person who talks to me about others.

A bore is a person who talks to me about himself.

A brilliant conversationalist is a person who talks to me about myself and himself.

Tact is the ability:

To be brief, politely;

To be aggressive, smilingly;

To be emphatic, pleasantly;

To be positive, diplomatically;

To be right, graciously.

Thoughts should be tested before they are transmitted.

If our thoughts taste unkind, critical, or unfair, we should refuse to release them into the dangerous world of words.

Wealth is purely metallic.

The wealthy man has four metallic attributes:

Gold in his palm;

Silver on his tongue;

Brass in his face;

Iron in his heart!

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing,

Wind braces up, snow is exhilarating;

There is no such thing as bad weather, 

Only different kinds of weather.

Wisdom is knowing what to do;

Skill is knowing how to do it;

Virtue is doing it.

Common sense in an uncommon degree

Is what the world calls wisdom.

If no money in your pocket, blame your hands.

Hope is the earliest and most indispensable virtue inherent in the

state of being alive. -Erik Erikson

Hope is the thing with feathers. I've heard it in the chilliest land, yet, never in extremity. It asked a crumb 0f me. -Emily Dickson

Today is not the ghost of yesterday past, it is the ghost of tomorrow present. Light tomorrow with today. -E.B.Browning

Humility comes before honour. Prov. 18:12

A good laugh makes any interview or conversation so much better. -Barbara Walters

May grace and peace be multiplied to you. -2 Peter 1:2

You can't measure life by the number of breaths you take in. Its just not fair because sometimes breathing hurts, you need to measure life by the number of moments that you have, and will take your breath away. -CEK

One reason people never attempt new things is their fear of failure. The biggest failure of all is the person that never tries. -Dr. Larry Kimsey

We should give  as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there's no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers. 

-Seneca

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

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
