Good morning beloved, thought it is worth
sharing.
The Sexual Fast!
Daughter: (Coughs out) Hmmm…It is well o
Mum: (looks up at her, then continues picking
her beans) Any gist for momma?
Daughter:( Looks at her) Mum, I think I am not
normal anymore…like, I am sick
Mum: (Chuckles) Why did you say so?
Daughter: Because I am over-sensitive.
Whenever I see a guy, I have this weird feeling
compared to when I meet a girl. Mum, I get
worried often times if I would scale through
adolescence without defiling myself
Mum: (Laughs) you are afraid?
Daughter: It seems you don’t understand mum.
When I see a guy’s bicep, oh my God! If he
mistakenly exposes his abs, then I would almost
faint, feeling as if I should run into his strong,
muscular arms and be cuddled.
Mum: And so? That’s why you are not normal?
Daughter: (Eyes widens) Mum!
Mum: That shows that you are very normal my
baby girl
Daughter: I don’t understand ma
Mum: You fasted recently shee?
Daughter: Yes mum. A three-day dry fast
Mum: There was on an occasion that I prepared
plantain and fried egg for dinner for the family.
How did you feel that day?
Daughter: Mum, it was sensational! As if I had
never tasted dodo before. I wanted a bite so
bad.
Mum: So, why didn’t you get into the kitchen to
get yourself some?
Daughter: Mum, I was fasting
Mum: Nice one! Son, can you hear us from
there? Put off the TV please
Son: Ok mum.
Mum: As an adolescent boy or girl, don’t think it
weird when you are attracted to an opposite sex.
His or her stature or the likes might appeal to
you. It shows that you are very normal. You
wouldn’t say, you are abnormal because you can
perceive the aroma of dodo while you were
fasting. Would you?
Both: No mum
Mum: All unmarried people in this world are on a
sexual fast or at least, that’s how it was
supposed to be. Different dodo, juices, fried fish,
chicken; Shawarma and the likes would appeal
to them clothed in handsome men and beautiful
women of different carriage but block your
perception! You are fasting!
Daughter: (nods repeatedly) Hmmm…I am getting
it now
Mum: the aroma could be pornography, sexy
boys and girls, devilish games and all but be
warned, you are what?
Both: Fasting!
Mum: So my daughter, you are as normal as
anything. It means all the parts of your body are
responding well but the Bible says you should
keep your body under!
Daughter: Mum, for real, I can’t thank you
enough. I expected you to shout at me and tie
your scarves round your waist, stamping your
feet on the floor, but no! You are trustworthy and
I can count on you. And that is why mum is our…
(Signals to the boy)
Son: Confidant! (Both laugh)
Daughter: Bro, c’mon chop knuckle (They did)
Mum: (Smiles) Blessed children…very very
blessed!
Both: most blessed mother
Mum: But never forget the lesson learnt today…
(expects an answer)
Both: We are fasting!
Mum: Yes. The fast would soon be over and your
dish of dodo, freshly prepared with well
garnished fried egg with a chill bottle of wine
would be delivered to you but first, wait! Say, I
will wait
Both: I will wait!
Mum: And the Lord will bless you.
Both: Amen (They hug their mother and she
blesses them)
Keep Sharing until it gets to every eye and the
Lord will bless you real good.
Let's be such a parent to our blessed children
#GoodMorning
