Time to Reflect We are in the last week of the year 2014. Today is the last Sunday in the year as well. We are in the last four days in the year 2014. The year is gradually coming to an end. The last few days of the year present great opportunity to reflect. A time to reflect on many things in the year that is slowly coming to an end. The first thing that should come to your mind is the thought of appreciation. It is to be grateful for being alive. To be grateful that your body is functioning well. To be grateful that you have your mind. To be grateful that you have your health. To be grateful for your safety and protection. To be grateful for your provisions. To be grateful for all the opportunities you had. To be grateful for the blessings you received. To be grateful for all the increases you got. To be grateful for the 12 months, the 52 weeks and the 361days you lived in the year. To be grateful for the year. If you take time think, you will be able to be grateful. When you take time to reflect, you will also discover that God is the one who deserves your heart of gratitude. He deserves your appreciation. He is worthy of your gratitude. Other people as well may deserve your appreciation. These may be friends and families and may also include other people who God have brought into your life in this year. You need to appreciate people who God have used to bless you in this year. One man once said that ‘it is only a great fool that is ungrateful’. Whosoever is not grateful is really a great fool. Be grateful, don’t be a great fool. This time of the year is also a time to celebrate. It is a time to rejoice. It is a time to merry. It is a time to celebrate with your families, friends, colleagues, etc. It is a time to be happy with yourself, to be happy with your friends and families. It is a time to share and be shared. It is a time to share and exchange gifts. It is a time to spend time with the people you love and the people who loved you. It is a time to anticipate and prepare for the New Year. It is a time to expect great things in the coming year. It is a time to be optimistic. It is a time to dream about the New Year and set meaningful targets for the New Year. It is a time to forget the failures, the problems, and the difficulties of the outgoing year and be optimistic about the New Year. It is a time to be hopeful. It is time to reflect. ‘Dapo speaks in churches, seminars and conferences. He can be contacted for speaking engagements on dapo_akinlotan@yahoo or dapoakinlotan@gmail.
