9 Things You Must Handle With Care If You Must Live Long

There are things that are so fragile in nature & anyone who wants to handle them must do so with every carefulness and tenderness. I saw a truck loaded with cartons of Indomie Noddles. Two guys were asked to move the cartons of Indomie from the truck into a shop. You need to see the throwing and catching prowess of these two guys. One was in the truck throwing the cartons to the one at the entrance of the shop and he was throwing it into the shop. The one in the truck can throw about 3 cartons at a time and the one in the shop will catch it so well. They can do it like that because the Indomie in the cartons is not fragile. They can’t handle crates of egg like that when loading from a truck into a shop. It takes extra care and tenderness if not, it will break and that will amount to huge debt and wastage.

Friends, there are things we also must carry and handle with extra- care because these things are fragile and once broken, it is not easy to put back together and once some of this things get broken, they can lead to huge damage and destiny wastage. 
Let me mention 9 of these things you must carry /handle with care as if you are carrying a crate of eggs.

1. Your Name: Your name is very important and fragile. There are names that stink in the ears of people simply because, those who bear those names spoilt the name. The way to handle your name with care is to be careful of your doings. Your actions can rubbish your name. A good name can open doors for you, your children and generations after you. When your name is mentioned anywhere, like in your office, at home, on social media like Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc. what comes to people’s mind? Carry your name with carefulness. It is a huge asset. Read one of the quotes written by Shakespeare. ‘Who steals my purse steals trash; ‘tis something, nothing;
‘Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed’.

2: Your heart: Many hearts are broken, shattered, wounded and bitter today. Run away from people, and things that are bent on breaking your heart. Carry your heart like a crate of eggs. You need a whole heart before you can be said to be fully whole!

3. Your Wife: When you put too much pressure on your wife, you will break her. Handle your wife with care and tenderness. Let tenderness flow in your manliness. Don’t be wicked to your wife. Carry her like a Queen. She’s strong. Powerful and wise, yet, she needs to be protected, cared for and handle like a crate of eggs.

4. Your husband: Your husband needs your total submission as a wife. Always remember that you are his helpmate.

5. Your Purpose: Your purpose is your destiny. If you don’t handle it with utmost care, it can slip off your hands and gaze and get broken. So many things can come like pressure on this crate of eggs of purpose. Discouragement, lack of fund, delayed Breakthrough, etc. These are things that may want to come like pressure on your purpose to break it. Don’t allow it! Carry it with care.

6. Your health: You have only this body as a vehicle that will carry you through your journey of destiny in this life. Handle your health with carefulness. No matter how big your vision is, once you are dead, nobody can really run the vision like you! Fight for your health. Avoid things that can destroy your health. Wealth is useless when your health becomes useless.

7. Your Marriage. So many people handle their marriage like a carton of Indomie Noddle. Let me remind you sir/ma. Your marriage is fragile. Handle it like a crate of eggs. It must not break! A broken marriage is not easily put back together, because, when a marriage breaks, many things get broken with it. Husband and wife, please, carry your marriage like an egg. It must not break!

8. Your words: Your worth is attached to your words. Be careful with words. Once spoken, you can’t gather it up again. Many people are careless with their words. They speak violently. They make empty promises and break it. Some say things they later wish they never said. Guard your words. Be careful with it.

9. Your eternity: Those who are running up and down to fulfill destiny here on Earth without thinking of their eternity are not wise! Friends, the matter of eternity is not something you should handle with levity. Think about where you will spend eternity. You will die one day. I will also die one day. All that we are and have in this world are vanity upon vanity. Take the matter of your end very serious. Stop living carelessly as if you have an extra life. Think about eternity. Don’t live for the pleasure of this present moment alone. If you miss heaven, you will cry!
