INTRODUCTION
Hello my fellow Steemians; I salute everyone. I strongly believe that our day is going on fine. I welcome you again to my blog. I will be sharing my family's last year's family thanksgiving service. I promise you the ride would be sweet (smiles).
MY BACKGROUND
Like I noted in my achievement 1 post, I am born into a family of 9 children (4 men and 5 ladies) and I am the last child, although my dad is late. He answered the heavenly call on January 10, 2020. May his soul always rest in God's peace. My family, from when I got matured, has been a peaceful and united one. I grew up to experience an unconditional love from everyone in my home and that implanted in me the seed of loving. For the record, I am the only single in my family and will become a couple soonest (smiles).
THE GREAT CONVERGENCE
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; (Psalm 133: 1-2)
My best period of the year is the yuletide because that's when I do have a collective communion with my siblings based on Lagos, Ogun and Anambra States and my mum who's currently in our home state Enugu. It's always a joyful moment because we usually sit together at night after dinner to chat and tell our experiences for the year; that's always my favourite part.
THE PURCHASE OF THANKSGIVING ITEMS
On Saturday morning, January 2, 2021, my eldest brother and I went to Artisan (cattle market) and Gariki market Enugu to purchase few items for the thanksgiving on Sunday, 3/01/2021. We bought:
- Tubers of yam.
- A goat.
- A bag of rice.
- A cartons of table water.
The shopping ended about 11:00 am that same day. We got home after 1 hour we concluded our shopping.
THE GREAT DAY
3rd January 2021, the first Sunday of the year, was an awesome and memorable day in my family. It was the day my family went en masse to church for our family thanksgiving. We attended 9 O'clock service. Although, in-laws and friends accompanied us to the thanksgiving. The thanksgiving took place towards the end of the service about 11:00 am.
EPILOGUE
The celebration ended in my family house with plenty eatables. I really enjoyed my day and the whole house was full of joy and celebration.
