At this time of remembering of Christ’s passion and resurrection, may we remind ourselves that we are human created in God’s image. We ought to be christlike in our thoughts and actions be it in our homes or workplaces/schools.
As Christ carried His cross even till death may we carry ours with peace and in resignation to God’s will. May the risen Lord visit you and your family.
Wishing you all a happy easter celebration. May God bestow on you the gift of His peace. May your hearts be filled with blessings and deepest calm that never cease.
On a different note, was there anything you gave up during the lent? I do not mean chocolates this time. For example, giving up habitual sins and telling lies among others.
Do guide your spiritual life. Be humble before God.
Still on the Blogmas spirit. I so much look forward to boxing day sales. Normally, I have lists of things I like to buy or simply names of people, whereby I will look at the names I will find something for them. Nonetheless, at times, I go beyond my list especially when I see something I consider very useful.
During Christmas, my 25th is basically go to church and have a good family meal. Then comes 26th – the sales, sales and sales day. In the last few years, I would queue up at Next as early as 6.30 am. Even at that early hours of the day I am like number 200 or something above that in the queue.
When I eventually get in, I would browse the entire shop for items that catch my eyes. It’s really fun to see those nice and expensive clothes, purses, gifts and kitchen wares reduced to lower prices. Looking at my lists, you can tell the things I normally go for. I do take my time and fill my shopping bag before the deselection process begins, when am done. Normally, by that time I am exhausted and cannot wait to leave the shop with my latest purchases.
However, lately I mainly buy online and will be doing same this year. I go to the shops later in the day or sometime in the week to see or pick a few good things remaining. Luckily, I live close to a shopping arena, where there is Primark, Next, Sports world and the rest of them.

My method of surviving the sales involves the following:
Gathering items I like first.
Choosing only the ones I need – at this phase, after gathering and I drop so many items.
Checking my budget.
Scaling down further to make sure I do not spend more than necessary and giving priority to items on list – Guys, I lose a few items at this stage too. [I use this method online too].
Don’t worry, if I mention lists a lot, I jot down almost any thing.
Finally, by the time am done, I leave the shop with the items I really need. There are a few exceptions to certain things that I see and find very useful even when not included in my list. I will like to know what works for you.
