The Adonai Editorial
PARENTING
“Its easy to lead a whole
nation than parenting’’
stated by one of the lead-
ing leaders this world has
ever had. Poor parenting
has left so many children
with trauma where by the
whole world is looking at
you for help.
You are a great parent es-
pecially during the time of
stress though you may not
feel like liking it, what we
need to know is that every
child needs parenting and
God intended us always to
be together and grow from
a loving, caring family.
You may learn a lot from
your child about yourself
than you had ever realized
without him, so we our-
selves need to connect
and communicate with
them. The greatest gift we
can give our children is to
create a secure parental
relationship and if this is
secure it will permit the
child a foundation to grow.
Dear friend,
Remember you’re the most
gracious caring and loving
person we’ve met. Never
was it known that anyone
who contacted you for as-
sistance, guidance, caring
and love was left un aided.
Inspired with this confi-
dence, we’ll always contact
you, please despise not our
petitions, but in your mercy
hear and stand with us for
with you, Yes we can.

Christmas is the long
awaited day! Here at
Adonai
G od is ever so great and
His mercies endure forever.
All Adonai members are
always eagerly waiting for
that day which we usually
term it as a day in all the
365 days! Whenever Janu-
ary clicks, all the eyes are
put on 25 December.
W e thank God for last
year He made it more won-
derful than ever before. The
whole month of December I
can say was a blessing to
us all; the children both resi-
dential and those in exten-
sion families, plus all our
parents and guardians.
There are moments that are
hard to forget in life. It was
on 5th December, 2009
when we had Adonai Chil-
dren’s Christmas party. This
day was so special from all
the Christmas parties we
have so far had. All children
were happy that day and
until today, they can tell the
whole story about it.
On that day, every child
went back with something in
the hand and on the head.
They were given gifts which
included; blankets, clothing,
shoes, scholastics, play
materials to mention but a
few.
I believe that every child
has a bed now that means
they enjoy the sleep and
are no longer worried of the
night to come as they just
anticipate for it to knock! At
this moment I would like to
pause and give thanks to
our beloved parents in UK.
Thanks so much for you
have turned disadvantaged
lives into advantaged, from
a disgrace to admiration.
God bless.
We also had a Birthday
party for Derrick which took
place that day; he cut a
cake and served all the
friends.

December was for
every one at Adonai to
have some thing in his

testify about this. It was
on 24th December, early
