WHEN THE BAG TEARS...

“When the bag tears, the shoulders get a rest” (Ghana)

 Hurray! It is June 1, 2014. The ancestors are here again after a long period of silence. Henceforth, we will all be privileged to learn from the feet of our ancestors every Sunday. So, relax as you read the words of our ancestors for this week. Remember to drop your comments and share with friends.

To every human on earth (young or old), there is a bag assigned by nature. To some, the bag is a burden, to others it is a luxury, some take it for an ordinary carriage but only the few wise ones see it as an essential part of life. Yes, it is essential!

In life, there is no absolute rest for any living being. Until your bag of life tears, you can never have a permanent rest. So, this means that your bag is meant to be with you right from birth till you die (or till it gets worn out). In other words; the stronger and lighter you keep your bag, the greater your chances of staying long in life.

Your bag may be your mind, watch what you deposit inside it. If your mind is filled with hatred, alcohol, bitterness, malice, stones, broken bottles and other harmful objects, it may end up being torn unexpectedly. There are many people who suffer from different health disorder today because of what they allow or had allowed into their mind. Remember, a healthy mind is a healthy being. Your bag may also be any form of your livelihood. It may be your health, your family, your major investment, your career, etc. Don’t just drag and drop anything into your bag, never take it for granted because when your bag is torn, there is no reason to be alive any more.

In whatever you do this week, always remember that there is a limit to everything you keep in the bag of your life...when the bag tears, the shoulders get a rest. May your bag never get carelessly torn.
