KASHAM AT ONE: A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND FIRST FRUIT OF A FAMILY

On 5th September, 2024, favour smiles the way of the family of DSI Benedict Akaahs, as his wife, Mrs Ofure Benedict, the Jewel from Benin Kingdom, put to bed a bouncing baby girl. So cheering was the news of the safe delivery.

Kasham Teresa became the name, the parents with the blessings of their parents, gave the baby. This name I learned, literally, means a beautiful and adorable gift. What a nice name to answer!

It is true: 'Children are a heritage from the LORD; offering, a reward from him.... Happy is the man whose quiver is full of them' (Psalm 127:3 & 5).  

One year down the line, Kasham, the beautiful gift and blessing from God, with the parents and well wishers, is celebrating the gift of her life. This is just nice!

I am glad to be a witness to Kasham's birth and her steady growth, and pray she grows more in wisdom and stature.

May Kasham grows to be the pride of the family and a huge blessing to humanity.

May Kasham finds favour in the sight of God and, in the sight people.

May God shield her from every visible and invisible harm, and grant her peace always.

As a womb opener, may other blessed babies, come to be her sisters and/or brothers.

May the babies coming behind find an exemplary  senior in her!

Whatever Kasham needs to be her best in this life, may God bring such her way!

It will not be long
It will not be long
When the old and the young
Males and females from the hills of Kagoro will speak and
The consensus from every end will be 
Kasham has done us proud Kasham has done us well.

Kasham kasham Daughter of a people so nice 
The blessing from the Most High
The grace of God is risen upon you. You shall go to higher places of importance in this terrestrial space!

Teresa Teresa, your name shall be a reference point and never will it be mentioned in wrong spaces. 

In the order of our great mother Teresa, the icon of love and the timeless virtues, your parents and grandparents, whom i have come to know closely, live by, your star will shine and transcend your generation. Amen!

Happy birthday and congratulations on your celebration of life, Kasham Teresa. God's  blessing upon you and your parents!
