Such family portraits getting rarer by the day!!

Such family portraits are rare to see in this present age that promotes nuclear family life style to be the best!

Such pictures are just on special occasions.

Let not modern lifestyle, nuclear family system, influence and overtake #BiblicalValues and #biblicalstandards.

★ In Biblical times and in the past, elders were the most revered members of a family.

✿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."

If today we can't see eye to eye with those close to us, how can we dream of spending an eternity with them?

Abba Father enjoyed a daily fellowship with Adam and Eve; He loved to walk and talk with them in the Garden of Eden!

After fall of man, man 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.

✿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 wants to see His kingdom come on earth today, as it is in Heaven!

May God take us back to the ancient paths and help us understand and value every vital relationship.

Every relationship on earth matters to God!

God bless all fathers...

Someone said:

"Fathers aren't perfect. They just keep practicing the three fundamentals of being an effective dad: 

loving, coaching, and modeling."

 Proverbs 1:8  "My son, hear the instruction of your father, ..."

Proverbs 23:22 "Listen to your father who begot you..."

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!

It is much easier to become a father than to be one.

Thank God for Fathers and say a special prayer for them not just today but always!

May God bless all Fathers!

Show them you care...

Sometimes vital and important relationships take a back seat because of our career, ministry, or other activities that keep us busy!
We sometimes take people in our lives for granted.

Some of our elderly, grand-dads, grand-moms, even elderly parents 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.

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

May we not neglect the aged, lonely, widows, fatherless in our midst

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~

•*¨*✿Lord help us not to neglect the old, elderly, widows, lonely in our family.

★Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

★Ephesians 6:2 "Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise.

Let's not just show our love to them once in a way but always.

Our God says's He is, ★"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows...(Psalm 68:5)

•*¨*✿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."

•*¨*✿I read this poem many years back and it so...blessed me. Every heart sure wishes this!

A CRY OF A MOTHER'S HEART 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd rather have one little rose 

From you today,

Than have truck loads of the choicest flowers,

When my stay on earth must end.

I'd rather have one pleasant word

In kindness said,

Than flattery when my heart is still,

And life has ceased to be.

I'd rather have a loving smile,

From loved ones I know are true,

than tears shed around my casket,

When to this world I bid adieu.

Bring me the flowers today,

give me a smile & a hug now,

Tell me you love & care for me...

Than do all this after I'm dear & gone.

Isn't that beautiful...?

Is your mom/dad/ grand-father, grand-mother close by?

Show them your love.

If they are far away, we can call and tell them we love care and miss them.

What the use of crying for the people in our life when they are no more ?

What's the use of all the words of praise, when their breath goes still and they cannot hear?

It's today when our loved ones are with us we need to show them we care and love..

Some one said..

"You can't speak a kind word too soon..

for you never know how soon it will be too late."

Be Blessed 

YSIC,

Julia
