“It is a time for us to show love to one and other and be our brother’s and sister’s keeper. A time to be God-fearing, have the spirit of humility, forgiveness and to give.
“It is imperative to express gratitude to God and I wish you all a happy Christmas and a happy new year in advance”, she told the children, who could not hide their excitement.
“We were taught to be God-fearing and obedient as children and we are passing this on to our children who are here. I pray that we will all enjoy our children and they will all grow up to become great children in future in Jesus name, “ she said during the 2018 Chirldren’s Party held at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion, Ado-Ekiti on Friday.
