Family relationships matters to God!



Adam and Eve lived in a home called the 

'Garden of Eden'. God blessed them and said to 

them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the 

earth and subdue it" (Genesis 1:28)

Abba Father enjoyed a daily fellowship with Adam

 and Eve; He loved to walk and talk with 

them. 

God is the beginner of marriage, children,

 family and home. Children are a gift to us from 

God. But with fall of man he had lost that 

fellowship with God and family relationships got

 strained. Respect for the aged was lost
.
 But Jesus Christ came to restore the hearts of

 fathers to children and children to fathers and also

 turn hearts to Abba Father.

Let's honor the Lord our God with all our hearts

and also respect the aged in our midst
.
•*¨*Job 12:12 " Wisdom is with aged men, And


 with length of days, understanding."

Let's honor them

.
•*¨*Leviticus 19:32 ‘You shall 

rise before the gray headed and honor the presence

 of an old man, and fear your God: I am the 

LORD."

 Let's not forsake our parents and grand

-parents when they our old. There is a God who

 will never let us down even when we are old.

•*¨*Isaiah 46:4 " Even to your old age, I am He

, And even to gray hairs I will carry you!I have

 made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will

 deliver you."

Abba Father wants to restore all vital

 relationships, but is a lot concerned about the

 turning of a childrens heart to fathers and fathers

 hearts to children

He wants to enjoy fellowship with His children on

 earth, like the one He enjoyed with Adam and Eve

 and also likes earthy parents and children have a

 turning of hearts..

•*¨*Malachi 4: 5 says, "See, I will send you the

 prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of

 the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the

 fathers to their children, and the hearts of the 

children to their fathers; or else I will come and

 strike the land with a curse".

God bless,

Spend quality time with parents, elders and grand-parents


Hi..
Life is busy but let's not miss out quality time with our moms, dads, grand parents. They won't be around forever.
Be blessed,
Julia
**********************
Too often we don't realize 
What we have until it is gone. 
Too often we wait too late to say 
"I'm sorry - I was wrong." 

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones 
We hold dearest to our hearts; 
And we allow foolish things 
To tear our lives apart. 

Far too many times we let 
Unimportant things into our minds; 
And then it's usually too late 
To see what made us blind. 

So be sure that you let people know 
How much they mean to you. 
Take the time to say the words 
Before your time is through. 

Be sure that you appreciate 
Everything you've got; 
And be thankful for the little things 
in life that mean a lot.
(Poet: Unknown)

Stay connected and in touch...


Our mom/dad/parents may be living far way but we sure can call them daily once or as often as we can just to find our how they are doing and  if we live close by visit them whenever we can and run some errands for them.
They took care of us as children and now in their old age  they just need to know they are loved and cared for!
They may have all the comforts but still long to hear the voice of their children and grand children.
My mom lives far away but waits for my call daily. 
Every time we cook something special at home or there is a celebration at home, I always miss my mom, who lives in South India. Would love to share a meal with her more often and make her a part of our celebrations and only wish she lived close by....
Everyday when I call her she'll be excited and say.."Julia....!".
Distance makes it impossible to see mom often, but I'm glad we can talk daily!
Thank God for the mobiles/telephone etc!!
Be blessed 
Julia
