[hometext] => I was re-employed by a transport Company. Imperial Cargo Solutions. Not only did they take me back but a promotion was hand me at the same time. I thank God for this and for making me work hard and teaching me the true value of honesty.
[bodytext] => 21:12:2014.... Life's long lessons. Looking back counting my blessings. If I had known what I know today. When I was young I would not have strayed. Looking back with hindsight. I realise how my parents tried with all their might. To guide me along life's path. Wanting to spare me life's wrath. But we all know youngsters. They think it's cool to be a gangster. Or see if they can break the rules. Not realising they are but fools. This past few weeks it struck home. Honesty and hard work ain't a stone. It's a sound foundation. That does not suffer degradation. I know we are not perfect. But our morals we must not neglect. What goes round comes round. And not in half measures but pound for pound. Yes we make our mistakes. And we leave havoc in our wake. But at the end of the day. Forgiveness we plead for when we pray. I want to thank our Father for my mom and dad. For all the spanking I had. Spare the rod and spoil the child. If my parents did I would be wild. For what they had done. Was to be instrumental in saving their son. Today I reap the benefits of their hard work. Now it's my turn to beware of what lurks.
