Life a fast runner...

🌷Life a fast runner, our next breath not guaranteed! Tomorrow we may just be a memory.

🌷Let us not put off for tomorrow what we need to do today.

🌿A job not done,

🌿putting off visit to see an ailing loved one,

🌿a missed call form someone on the edge we did not call back or failed checking on a loved one,

🌿 a prayer not whispered,

🌿a quote or application not sent out may cost us or someone a lot.

🌷A job undone, a mail/note not send, a call not made, may cost us a deal, a job, a miracle, a loved one or just anything important!

🌷Opportunities sure always don't wait for us...

No wonder God's Word says..

🌿🌸 Hebrews 3:15 “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”🌿🌸

🌷YESTERDAY GONE, TOMORROW IS NOT HERE ALL WE HAVE IS THIS MOMENT!

Good Night,

Julia 🌺🌿

Train up a child

Training up kids take effort but results rewarding! 

God's Word says in

🌿🌺 Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

🌷Training up sure takes a lot of effort and prayers. It is not that if we train them up in the right path, they will never leave it or stray away from it. But when we fill their heart with the right stuff, the Word of God, sound doctrine, good and wise advice, we can pray they will remember it and get back on track if they stay away.

🌷As Godly parents we can prepare the soil, sow the seed and pray God will grow the seed. We can show them, teach them but cannot force them.

🌷May our children be taught to value their family and time spend with family from when they are small.

🌷 May our children be taught to respect elders at home so that they will respect elders outside. 🌿🌺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.

🌷May our children not be known for the degrees they hold or for the high profile job they are in but may they be known for their love for God, their joy, their cheerfulness, their compassion, sympathy, gratitude, helpful nature!

🌷Let them be known and seen to be striving to conform with God's will and not the pattern of this world.

🌷Our children are God's gift to us, may God bless them.

Blessings...

Waiting for a life partner?

Waiting for a life partner?

🌿🌼It's impossible to find some one perfect but sure can find one who trusts God in midst of his/her imperfections. 

🌿🌼Pray for a person who is after God's own heart, who will change your life for the better and not just your relationship status.

🌿🌼A person who cares, is concerned, loving, doesn't talk about your weakness to others but praise you.

🌿🌼 Above a take time to pray with and for you, reads the Word of God with you.

God being the centre of a relationships makes all the difference!

Blessed day,

Julia 🌸🌿

Before it is too late..

🌿🌺 Do not wait until too late. Keep checking on family and loved ones stranded far away due to this lock-down.

Sometimes just praying with them, few words of encouragement or asking them how they are doing is all they need to hear. 

Sometimes our loved ones may just wait to hear our voice.

Before too late, keep reaching out in love.

🌿🌺Sometimes vital and important relationships take a back seat because of our busy schedule, career, ministry, or other activities that keep us busy!

🌿🌺Some of our elderly, grand-dads, grand-moms, are forgotten lying all alone just longing to hear few words of love.

When we remember people we had forgotten or those we left behind and turn back to say how much they mean to us, they may be gone never to return and you may never be able to see them again,

🌿🌺So before it's too late we need to tell our loved ones how much we love and care for them.

Let us treasure every vital and important relationships in our lives.

A Poem I read:

🍀BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE🍀

****************************

If you have a tender message or a loving word to say,

Do not wait till you forget it, whisper it today,

The tender word unspoken,

The letter never sent,

The long forgotten messages,

 The wealth of love unspent,

For these some hearts are breaking.

For these some loved ones cry.

So show them you care for them before it's too late.

~Unknown~

Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.

When Death claims the light of my brow, No flowers of life will cheer me. 

Instead you may give me my roses now!

~ Thomas F. Healey

Family gatherings then and now!

Family gatherings in the past and present!

In the past young, the elderly and every family member in our lives were held in high esteem. Though there were no modern gadgets, they had lots of family times together. There was more face to face interactions. 

But the present has more nuclear families, modern gadgets and they are so busy that many families have no time to spend together in fellowship, prayer etc.

#FamilyMatters

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 and He is the Restorer of all things!

Reach out with love and care

🍀It actually costs us nothing to remind someone who is in a tough situation, that they are not alone, that we care, we are praying etc. 

🍀Life is not easy especially during this time of lock-down. Millions are left jobless, homeless, clueless. Suicides increasing as people not able to cope up with not being able to have a meal. Many have no homes, no food, no change of clothes. 

🍀People we know may be in tough situations like job loss, staring at a hopeless future, some may be battling with health issues etc. 

🍀Let us be there for people, see how we reach out. Even a word of encouragement, a whisper of prayer may mean a lot to someone.

🍀And it is time to be strong, do not be worried who dislikes us, who hates us, there will always be people who scoff at our struggles, be insensitive to our pain, will not bind our wound but rub salt on it to intensify our pain.

🍀But we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ our Lord.

HE LOVES US, UNDERSTANDS US, WILL FIGHT FOR US, WILL BIND OUR WOUNDS, FEELS OUR PAIN AND NEVER WILL LEAVE OR FORSAKE US!

 HE WILL ALSO REJOICE WITH US, SHARING IN NOT JUST OUR PAIN BUT OUR MOMENTS OF JOY TOO!

🍀Let the spectators laugh, let them judge, let them not care.

We have a race to run,

🌿🌺 Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

🍀Let us stay focused on being faithful to the job assigned to us, our final reward in God's hands!

Be blessed serving The King!
