Its
quiet few words that Cling into my mind and stack
in my heart out of which were told to me by my
Grandmother. I was born in Uganda, Mpigi District,
Busiro County in Bandwe Village. Am from a family
of three boys me beeing the last, grew up deep
in the Village called Buwanda where my Grand mother
natured me from 3 months.
It
was after a serious that happened one was a certain
serious sickness which almost took my life that
happened to me that I came to realise my real
status as an orphan at a tender age of 5 years
when my grandmother also gave up hope and told
the people to take me to the burrial ground so
that when I die they will not be disturbed by
transport in the bus.It was After her friend came
and advised her that althought you up brought
this Boy but he is not yours.His parents died.
The blood if his parents are callng him therefore
take him t the burrial ground of his parents.
If he
Where
is my Daddy? I inquired
With her eyes deep red and filled with tears flowing
over chicks, she narrates: You are an orphan,
you lost both parents, staying with me as your
Father, Mother and Uncle. It was during the reign
of terror for Idi Amin Dada and the reign of President
Milton Obote when unknown soldiers came and kidnapped
your Father in the midle of the night.You were
still in your mother's womb, and left your mother
in the house and took him, after 2 weeks an announcement
passed by LC 1 for the dead body found wrapped
in Polythen bag by herds men and thrown in Mayanja
swamp ,we went to check after the LC 1 announcements
we found that it was your Father".
Then
why are we here instead of Bandwe?
"It was after the burrial and funeral that
we had to sit down and ask who is to take care
of the orphans, un fortunately every one refused
and rejected you because of your appearance which
predicted death in you and no one wanted to take
you because they feared that you may die soon
in their hands.so I picked the three of you and
your mother who was a perfect drunkard and planless
and brought you here while saying "this is
my blood which I can't let die".
So
how did I grow up to this age?
"your
growth was God's mercies" she narrates"
you grew up on local brewed juice and nick named
you Kasejjere because I thought you will never
turn out to be a reasonable man
(Kasejjere is an anti hill so short and ever despised
by people) I had no cow even enough money to buy
milk, so I used to squeeze yellow bananas to make
juice and I gave you though sometimes you used
to vomit it due to much sugars for such a baby
you were. Due to poor feeding you suffered severe
diseases every week and one time you got sick
and I gave up on you and I hard to take you to
the burrial ground of your ancestors bearing in
mind that when you die, I will have no problems
of transporting the dead body.So I know that your
glowing was only God who helps you.
Tears
flowing allover my chics, I came to realise that
the world is before me to be tear me apart with
all the forces within it having no sence o fdirection
for my future since was an orphan who lost both
parents staying with my grandmother, who is very
old and helpless, she could not afford to give
most of the necessary requirements.I began to
face the reality of a man at the 7 th year by
rearing pigs,Rabits,hens,growing cassava, sugar
canes,cutting spear grass for peoples'houses,
digging people gardens and the little money I
got i used it for buying mu personal necessary
requirements like pens, books ,shirts etc. Meanwhile
i have been working for schools as a school dependant
which have been paying my school fees.
How
to meet Christ
I met christ in 1998 in S.5 after a friend of
mine who had a small piano who wanted me to train
him, he was a born again, though I had hated them
calling them false prophets. This false prophet
told me what I was, and told me its only God the
Father of Fatherless and we become his children
only when we accept his son Jesus Christ and become
saved. so I decided to accept to embrace this
love to bridge the gap of fatherly love that was
missing in to have a father.
Since
that time my life changed, I began feeling accepted,
loved, and living in a whole new world, of love,
peace, Joy and guilty free,feeling forgiven and
all the past vanished and now everything has become
new.I began to sence the new love, from the everlasting
God, who revealed his heart to me as a different
kind of father, who loves, who provides, who teaches,
who guides, who forgives,who heals, who knows
me, who natured me, who paid my school fees, who
is kind and patient and his patience is our salvation.
And after three years God revealed to me the job
I have to do for him and is still taking through
various training to fullfill the great commission
for the service of his people and to the Glory
of his name.
Glory
be to the Lord God of Restoration whose mercies
endures forever and let the whole earth be filled
with his Glory. Amen and Amen
