The old-fashioned Peugeot 504 saloon sporting ribbons, some balloons, and an ?About-to-Wed? sign, was followed by a similarly decorated Volkswagen Passat, well past mid-life. It was a strange sight in Lagos, Nigeria, a city also known for flash and dash. The cars glided to the expressway, on their way to pick the intending couple, unbothered about what anyone thought or said. They were not ashamed of whom they are.

?For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father?s, and of the holy angels.? ? Luke 9: 26 (KJV)

Everyone will answer his father?s name.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
