Solomon is born

Sometimes, we need to keep the camera off our hands; almost everyone is scared of this generation because everything seems to appear on the net, especially web2 (though most now Web3) content creators make fun of things just to get views, likes, and comments, especially when it comes to flaws from the government or their official. Anyway, what's the essence of social media? At least ours maintains internal transparency of about 2-3 years; For the newborn baby, only the parents are permitted to give a snapshot; Nigerians may understand this better.

There is always this feeling of joy and happiness whenever a newborn is brought into the world. A time of pain is gone for the mother, and now she has a smiling face that focuses on the baby. God is good. What contribution have we made to the safety of this baby and the mother that wasn't gotten through his provision?

I stay in the hospital often as if I work there, so the night I was about to leave to get my night rest after ensuring my device charged to the brim, I met my cousin and I saw him with some baby items like a flask, which was so obvious; he didn't tell me about it and I didn't because at this point l never wanted to be inquisitive, I suspected the wife has not given birth though we all saw her with the pregnancy for months or may have given but he wants the day to break before he spills the good news out. The later was the case, the next morning, on a Saturday morning, he came to our house since it is very close to the hospital and told my parent that his wife has given birth to a bouncing baby boy early that morning. I reflected on 1 Corinthians 3:6, where Paul said he planted the seed, Apollos water, but the Lord made it grow. God brought this boy to us, and we are happy.

Happiness doesn't end in a day, so on the first day, because of the birth of this child, the grandfather, popularly known by people as **Mr. Eloquent, gave us a chicken to prepare pepper soup and rice for the mother for housing this baby for months, give respect to the mothers. Cheers to my cousin, a second-class upper student in Economics in the faculty of social science is now a father. A father means more responsibility, it is not easy but he is up to the tasks.

On the second day, I had to visit since I spent the night in Dad's office with my cousin. We moved directly to the room when the day break; mom and dad already visited, but I didn't as I was busy with other activities, so we moved to the room, and on getting there, I met the mother. I congratulated her, and she smiles—that slow smile can go forth. The journey was never easy; my feet were weak when I saw the tender child, so this is how I was brought into this world; Mom deserves more.

Mr. Eloquent already named the child Solomon, saying he will be more intelligent than his father and grandfather all combined*; Solomon is born, and I watch the parents discuss; the mother points at some phenotypes the child shares among them while cleaning the navel; they saw another one, and they all smile.

Church service

I came back home prepared and left for church. I danced for joy, and in remembrance of the beautiful creature that just arrived, I danced even more.

I am grateful what I watched today gave me so much joy, and I would love to see entries from @oneray, @alegnita, and @ciru2014.
