Topic:  Pleasant surprises are coming your way

Text: When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.” – Psalms 126:1

The passage dwelled on the man at the Pool of Bethesda for thirty eight years. Despite the fact his miracles we're delayed, he still had the testimony he had always wanted!

Dara went on her knees praying seriously for pleasant surprises to come her way that week. After her prayer, Efe called her phone line and she answered the call.

"Good morning Baby" He greeted and she smiled. "Good morning"

"Can we meet today today? Maybe at the diner close to the gym or maybe I'll come meet you at the gym"

"What's going on?"

"I have a surprise for you"

"My birthday isn't until next month"  "Aren't I free to surprise my own girlfriend again? He asked and she chuckled. "See you at the gym, I'll be there by seven"

"Perfect. Later baby"

"Yeah" she replied and he hung up.

Efe smiled in his room holding on to the ring.

Funsho watched Ade tie his shoe lacewrongly then he laughed. "Daddy you're laughing at me. I can do it myself"  "I promise not to laugh" he replied withholding his laughter. 

"You're still laughing"

"You're going to get late to school. The school bus will be here anytime soon" "Daddy I can do it!" He exclaimed and Pamilerin walked in carrying Sewa dressed in a white top and a blue jean.

"She's awake" he announced and Funsho smiled turning towards Ade and his fruitless attempt to tie his lace.

"Daddy come and help me" he begged with tears in his eyes and his father felt bad for him knowing how horrible he must feel so he knelt down carefully, showing him the steps on how to do it.

"Is Mom here for a party?" Pamilerin asked and Funsho laughed, "Why did you ask?" "I want to confirm of she meant to see us"

"Hey, Adetoun loves the both of you. She's your mother, even though you don't get to see her everytime" "I want someone I can see everytime" Ade replied and Funsho looked up at him.

"It's.... Complicated" he replied and Ade laughed. "I knew you would say that" he answered and everyone laughed.

"What about aunty Dara?"

"Yes, what about her?"

Funsho examined Ade's ears then he rose up to carefully examine Pamilerin's ears. "What are you doing?" Pamilerin asked, "Just want to confirm if there's something wrong  with your ears? How many times will I tell you two that she has someone already?"

"I can talk to her to choose you"  Ade replied and Funsho slapped his face. "First, I'll die of embarrassment, 2, I'll just run away, I'll take you guys out of Lagos and we'll never see her again, Capiche?" He threatened and they both laughed.

"She'll be coming this afternoon to wash clothes"

"Huh?" Pamilerin and Ade replied, "She lost a bet so she'll be washing but of course I won't make her wash."
