2. thou who dost ensure a hearing for our prayers by offering them thyself to the Lord; accept in token of our gratitude the alms which we lay at thy feet for the relief of the poor sick children.
May this alms do good to those who suffer and to ourselves. Come to their aid

Living in a neighborhood with people of diversity can be so refreshing. Here I was thinking that the folks living in the multi tenanted building next to mine had a set of twins and two other kids. Until today when I finally connect the dots. #LoveThyNeighbour
For years I have been overhearing the man instruct his brothers (I guess he has about 2 of his younger siblings living with him also) “Lö tan Táiyé” (Go switch on Taiwo). Some other days he would say “Lö tan Kenny” (Go switch on KENNY). I kept wondering what the Hell! 🤔
If I don’t know better I would have thought his twins were Igors or Frankensteins that needed electric jolts to come alive. But I chose to be patient. So on some days he would say “Lö tan IDee”- (Switch on Idowu) then weekends “Lö tan Àlàbá” (switch on Alaba). 🤔
