The Diary Game || 24-03-24 || Sober Reflection on Armed Robbers Attack and Commemorating the Death of Our Ransomer.

Dear Diary,
It was the happiest and worst day of my life. Why did it have to be that Sunday? Two sober reflection moments. It was indeed heartbreaking and weakening. Who had ever thought something as such would happen this day? It was a day to remember the death of the one man who paid his life as a ransom to free us from sin and death. He went through all the torture because of us. All he requested was for us to remember his death. How was this done? This post gives the narration.

Morning Activities

It was a morning to remember. Everything about that day was put into memory. I didn't sleep in the night as I was just so busy working on projects upon projects. Finally, I got up and then considered the scriptures with my family. The scriptures we considered highlights the command our ransomer gave his disciples, we included before he died.

He told them to Keep doing this in remembrance of him. What should be done? He told his disciples to commemorate his death the way he did with them and luckily according to the Jewish calendar, the day fell yesterday. So it was an important day in our lives, a day we wouldn't miss for anything no matter how big. His released us from the bondage of sin and death and told us to remember him just once in a year. We would do anything to heed to that.

We also read the events leading up to his death after his gathering with his disciples for the lord's evening meal. After this, I left for my chores but before doing chores, I took to eating a fruit called Sour Sop. This fruit if eaten very early in the morning is very medical and good for one's health. It is good for malaria and typhoid prevention. So I ate it as its fruit is situated in my yard.

After taking this special recipe, I took to charging my phone and preparing myself for the so we reflection moment I would face in the evening when the commemoration is done. I took to washing my clothes so I'll have the whole time to rest and prepare for other things. While washing, my mom told me a news I have never dreamt of hearing. It was about the Robbery attack of my aunty and her family.

My heart nearly failed because it was more than a shock to me. Who had ever thought their house would be robbed?. I found it hard to believe to be sincere not until I heard from the horses mouth. I was confirmed. My mom and I boarded a vehicle that morning, suspending everything to see them. I was pained at heart. They were all in a solemn mood, trying to recover from the shock they were out into.

It was in the morning of Sunday when robbers jumped their fence and started hitting the door hard. They used objects capable of breaking the iron door. They demanded that my aunt's husband open the door for them otherwise if they break in, they'll be forced to manhandle them. With the threat, my aunt's husband saw they were already breaking in and that torches were everywhere so they couldn't place calls. They opened the door for the robbers to come in.

He pleaded they don't harm his family and that he would give them anything they wanted. They collected all their phones and Atm cards. When they were about leaving, they forced my aunt to call her pin out so they could withdraw the money in her account. As God could have it, they didn't succeed as the chief of robbers alerted them to hurry out. They left swiftly without looking back. The question is, what if they had enough time?

They would have just drained them. They were so grateful for that but sad about the phones stolen which were about 5 in numbers. 2 tablets for work and hand sets for calls. They related that these robbers robbed their neighbour, taking almost everything valuable worth 20 million naira. I could help but just sat down in disbelief. My uncle was there as well. He helped them wield the door back to its shape.

My mom and I then left with my uncle back home to prepare for the memorial after comforting them. They had two sober reflection that day - the robberyattack and the death of Jesus Christ.. This picture shows them on their way home. I've always imagined my phone gets stolen. How would I do?
It would be my 22k pictures I would be weeping.. On getting home, I took to eating my breakfast of bread and tea, something light actually. These are pictures of my breakfast before going online to check what's popping.

My status was hot with pictures of the death of Jesus Christ and his commemoration later than evening. While sitting outside, I stumbled on a flying thing of which I caught. **I then saw it's the thing we do call Apollo and that when it fly past one's eye, the eye gets infected. This is more like a childhood belief that were by superstitious. I allowed the thing kept flying as the wind is responsible for its movement. I then went on to rest a while.

After resting for a while, I then joined my mom in preparing a special delicacy of White Soup and Pounded Yam. These were the preparations taken to make this a success. Pounding the yam wasn't an easy thing as it required much strength. I then ate the food when it was done.

After eating, I took turns to capturing sundown as it was after sundown he commemorated his death with his disciples. Few hours were left to hold this important event of which our batch was to hold by 7:30pm.

The hour did came for the Son of man to be handed over to death and torture. All these happened for our sake. Imagine **you were kidnapped and a sum of 10 million naira was demanded to bail you out. Someone decides to bail you as your parents don't have. When **you were released, he told you asides thanking him, you should come to his house once every year to do a simple tasks for him to keep the memory alive.

If it were you, wouldn't you do this? You won't miss any day in the year. I captured the moon and called it the night of the lord's evening meal. It was time to commemorate the death of Jesus, our redeemer.

When the commemoration started, I took capturing the wine and bread Jesus used in constituting the evening meal. There was a talk delivered which answered the following questions.

• What does the emblems signify?
• Who are to partake of the emblems?
• How can we show our appreciation for what God and his son did for us.?

The answers to these questions were clear and biblically based. The memorial ended in a success and I took to capturing the usual. The love was just massive. **It was indeed a sober reflection, the worst day for robbers to steal, and the happiest day that I've been redeemed from sin and death and that I have the opportunity of living forever on earth which our first parents lost.
