Mydairygame: Thanksgiving Service (16/3/2025)
Happy Sunday my dear wonderful steemians. How was your weekend. Hope you had a great and rewarding Sunday in the presence of the Almighty. I am here to tell you how my Sunday went. It was replete with celebration and thanksgiving. Stay with me let's start
I had told you that my weekends are always filled with fun and engagements. This Sunday was not an exception. It was a thanksgiving service of a sister who was promoted at work place. I had already prepared on Saturday how my Sunday will look like.
I woke up late unlike other days because I slept late on Saturday. This was as a result of the workload at work place that made me very tired. I was up by 6.40am. On a normal Sunday, I would wake up by 5am to catch up with preparation to the church by 8am.
Immediately I was up, I brushed my mouth, took bath, wore clothes and set to church. I even left my wife and children behind so they could come later because I was to lead the service and didn't want to be late. I reached the church by 7.35am. I had to plan in the church how the service will look like before the arrival of others.
The service started by 8.10am with praise and worship by the song director, bro. Ubong Udonta. He took the church into a high spirit of praise, setting the tone for the service. It was followed by other activities. A brief message was given and the service dismissed by 11am.
Immediately after the normal service, the thanksgiving began. It was a great moment. The sister, sister Mercy Ekpa was promoted at work place as the Chief Accountant at Federal Road Maintenance Agenda (FERMA) here in the Southern part of Nigeria. She was promoted to this exalted office last Wednesday, 12th March, 2025.
Mrs. Mercy seated with her daughter, Eyakidara.
I had to asked Mr. Michael to sit with him as her friend.
Michael seated right by her as her friend.
It was a time to pray for her. I ordered one of the members of the church, bro. Otuekong to pray for the elevation to be sustained. After this, testimonies of who Mercy is were presented by different people. From the testimonies, Mercy is a peaceable, humbled and a kind person as well as a giver.
The secretary of the church, Ikobong Akpan, gave a vote of thanks. He eulologized Mercy and urged everyone to emulate her character.
I rounded off the event by taking another time to pray for the celebrant, asking God to give her the grace to lead in her new office.
The event was followed with a light refreshment from the celbrabrant as an appreciation. Members drank and enjoyed themselves.
The thanksgiving ended by 4.20pm. I came back home very tired because I didn't eat when I left home. Although there was a light refreshment, it couldn't quench the hunger I carried. I had to refresh and ate before relaxing.
I was carried away by sleep that took me till about 6pm. I woke up to go and watch premier league match at viewing center.
I came back by 8pm to lie down with steemit and finally dozed off by 9pm.
That was my Sunday's dairy. It was a great experience, replete with activities that were exciting.
