A USEFUL TOOL FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN



A USEFUL TOOL FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

THE CHILD POET: A POETIC GALAXY FOR CHILDREN written by multi-award-winning author BRENDA MOHAMMED, is the kind of book that any parent would treasure to help offspring become creative.
The poet creates no borders to capture the panoramic potential of a child's vision.
When you look at the title, the book speaks for itself,
There are beautiful illustrations inside.
The author has written poems about nature, the galaxy, books, and family life in simplified forms so that children can capture the meanings easily.
This is an ideal gift book that could derive productive results for nurturing children.

A STRONG FAMILY UNIT IS THE KEY TO PEACE



A STRONG FAMILY UNIT IS THE KEY TO PEACE


A STRONG FAMILY
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” [Proverbs 22:6].
*
A strong family is the glue binding each individual to the world.
Family togetherness is a driving force and should be our goal.
Family prayer is both a religious and relational practice.
Prayer provides opportunities to express mutual love and forgiveness.
*
When you fall in life, your family should be there to catch you.
Choose to uplift each other and make prayer a positive experience too.
Be considerate of each other and refrain from criticizing the other.
Prayer is about intimacy with the Lord and with one another.
*
Children mimic their parent’s behaviour.
Parents should conduct themselves in a Godly manner.
Children are the future of our nation.
Let us train them for God’s eternal kingdom.

HACKERS AND SCAMMERS

 


HACKERS AND SCAMMERS


Dear Readers, I believe that this poem will grab your attention. Please take note of what is happening on social media today.

HACKERS AND SCAMMERS

Hackers and Scammers are rampant on social media.
They are trying their best to take over Literature.
First, they hacked the How to Write for Success Literary Forum.
And were removing me and the Ambassadors one by one.
*
I caught them in time and although I recovered the forum,
They hacked one of my accounts I had with Instagram,
And got my account suspended by posting something ridiculous.
I lost access to all other Facebook pages with that email address.
*
As my personal page and Author pages, I could no longer access.
I used a new email address to continue with my progress.
I now discovered my How to Write for Success Author page.
Is being used by a fake outdoor gear and clothing company.
*
My profile picture, and cover with my book is still appearing,
Along with my posts and pictures of outdoor gear and clothing.
I don’t know how they plan to move ahead with that fraud.
But I am leaving that matter in the hands of God.
*
I reported the matter to Facebook Security,
I have been assured that action will be taken shortly.
This poem is to warn friends to keep their profiles secure.
Maybe locking our profiles is the only cure.
