Every meal has some ingredients that make it palatable and edible. These ingredients individually contribute their quota to the delicious taste of the meal. Each of the seasonings appeals to different senses of mankind. The one that makes the nose rejoice is different from that which makes the tongue celebrate.

So it is with a relationship. It requires different seasonings. These are what we are discussing in these series one after the other.

In every dealing, one person may do a wrong thing to the other. This may be intentionally or inadvertently. It is not possible to have a relationship which is totally free of one form of discord or the other. Either it is ironed out amicably or one bears the burden consistently.

Do you know that a common word, Repentance, is a very good seasoning for every relationship? That is the truth.
Application of this seasoning will bring outstanding results into your dealings with people. Doing away with your hitching quality will endear you into the hearts of people around you more. Those who hate you because of such unfriendly conduct you are proud of will become your lovers who will be closer to you or distant from you.

At least you will have an improvement in your relationship with others.

Any proof of this? "Yes!" is the answer.

There are lessons everywhere for a serious learner. During Ed el Kabir, an annual Islamic festival, of 2023 which was celebrated on Wednesday, twenty-eight of June, twenty twenty-three. A grandma wanted to visit and rejoice with her relatives who were Muslims.

She discussed it with her husband who did not hesitate to agree with her on the proposed journey. The husband asked her, "When will you return?" The question caught the wife napping. She said, "This is the first time you have asked me that question. Why did you ask me?"
The grandpa answered, "I have repented. I am now a new man."

Grandma was happy and she promised to return on the seventh day. In the past, she used to spend weeks any time she embarked on such journey because the man never ask about her time to return. She felt not needed. She was of the opinion that her absence meant nothing to the man. For that reason, she could spend her time where she was "needed" and "appreciated".
This time around, with the words of the husband, she felt that the man needed and appreciate her; so, she would not want to create a vacuum in his life by not being available.
Love recycled or renewed? Whichever you call it, repentance has done something great. A change of the man's attitude ignited a new lease of life on family. Then the Holy Bible is right to counsel thus,
3:19 "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." Acts.

The man turned on a new leave, the wife forgot his past wrong doings, a new and better pattern of life started. That is from a man to his wife.

Should the same not be done towards God who wants the best for humanity?. He has the best to offer whoever repent and be converted.
Therefore, my beloved reader, repent of your evil ways and turn to your Maker totally and refreshing time will come into your life.

Age should not be a barrier to repentance and conversion. The couple in question above were about eighty years of age. How old are you that you cannot repent and be converted? Age should not prevent you from taking the right action that matters now. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
