INSIDE THE MIND OF A MAN GOING THROUGH FATHERHOOD


While Growing up, I remember how my mum made sure that we welcomed the new year inside a church. She had this church that she attended, the distance was like almost two hours walk from our house. Every Sunday, she would drag us to this church, night vigil holds every first Friday of the month, she would also drag us there. We detested going with her as we grew up because of the distance as we were forced to trek most times due to lack of money for transport.

As I grew, I discovered that to mum, what mattered was that we all showed up in the church so she would be upholding the family tradition. Her grand parents and her parents attended that church, she and her siblings were all raised in that same church., so it was important that we continued in the same church.

Those nights on 31st December, after screaming "happy new year" in the church, we would hit the road at past 12:am, heading home. Youths will throw knock-outs on us, dust would fill out nostrils, we would risk being knocked down by drunk drivers, risk being robbed, etc.

Today, in my house we don't attend vigils including December 31st night service(crossover service) in any church, the security of the country has deteriorated so much, prevention now is better than cure. My wife initially objected but with time, she saw reasons with me after we heard of people being robbed and killed on their way to or from night vigils, also, we heard of some people being robbed or killed on their way to or from cross-over service.

We gather and do night vigil in my home any day we feel like doing it, God is every where and the most important thing is that my kids know him and serve him.

Hmmm this must have been really tough... Did your other siblings also continue with the tradition and legacy your mum wanted to leave behind?
