SUNDAY MORNING DRAMA YOU SEE IN NIGERIAN HOMES

I can relate to this and makes me laugh! Sunday mornings are supposed to be peaceful and restful. God worked in six days and rested on the seventh day, that should let us know that Sundays should be drama free. For where? If you have a full house of growing kids or teenages, then you can relate to drama full Sundays.

Like aren’t we supposed to wake up in a solemn worship mood, prayer silently, get ready for church and drive quietly and with expectation as we go to worship? If you think that your family is the only Nigerian family with dramatic Sundays, oya read what Veronica’s daughter has to say about what happens in her family on Sundays.

When my kids were still little, Sunday mornings became the most stressful mornings of the week where I’ll be driving to church angry and scolding kids in the car as they fight at the back and won’t let me concentrate on the road.

Before even getting ready for church and entering the car, we would have uploaded enough drama for the day and I may have shed a tear when some people are slow and will make me late for church. Honestly I didn’t have the mind to drive off to church and leave any of my children for  being slow and unenthusiastic on a Sunday morning.

One single person could just make everyone late for church and that’s how I would sit in the parlour fuming and wiping tears while my makeup gets ruined. Until recently I think they knew they could make me wait. Then, the stronger me woke up one day in this year 2019 and I drove off. But you know what? when my daughter finished and called to ask why we were so wicked to have left her? I started crying on the phone too but guess what? That changed things at home.

I no longer have to get ready and start waiting for anybody. They know when I’ll drive off and try to hurry up ahead of me. In the past I suffered Sunday Morning Stress oh, honestly. However you planned it, the kids will make you late for church and what is a Sunday Service without Praise worship ehn? Aren’t we supposed to sing, dance, praise and release stress before the sermon?  By the time we got to church, the singing and dancing had perhaps ended and it’s all talk talk talk… sigh!

So I saw this posted by Veronica’s daughter and couldn’t help but share because I relate well!
