Christmas: Reincarnation of Herods – Are you one of them?

A story was told of a family that gave birth to a baby and invited friends and families to celebrate with them. As the guests come in for the celebration, they kept dropping their jackets on the couch because it was cold outside. Whenever anybody came into the house, he or she either hangs or drop the jacket and goes off shouting in celebration of either meeting a long lost friend or relative, and so the celebration continues.

At a point, someone asked, where is the baby we came to celebrate? Alarmed by that question everybody began to search for the baby. Suddenly, the mother remembered she laid the baby on the couch. As she rushed to lift off all the jackets on the couch, alas the baby has suffocated and died. What a tragedy! The reason for their celebration is dead because they did not pay attention.

Politics and Marriage our Nigeria Experience

Also the same is the advice of our parents and elders in the society. At times we flaunt this advice and get away with it as we believe every person is different on their own and should be treated differently, but most of the time we get our fingers burnt when we see the effect that the family a person came from can have on them. “If your parents never had children, chances are you won’t, either”. Dick Cavett
