Brother says:
It is by God’s design that the house is a sacred temple…a place of worship
the home is the primary church…a body of Christ
the family is the basic entity of the Kingdom of God here on earth…a piece of heaven
It is through Satan’s conspiracy
that the house becomes a mere commodity…at the mercy of estate disputes
the home, in the verge of extinction, is replaced by Day-Care Centers and Foster Homes
the individual is becoming the basic unit of society
~
It was God’s perfect plan
that Jesus was born in a family
For it is in the family
That we are to experience God
To grow with God
To be secure in God
For it is through the family
That the love of God must flow
Must overflow
To reach His other sons and daughters
Specially the poor
~~
Let us glorify God in our lives!
Sister Replied :Everyday that I open my eyes I thank God for life and for the family that He gave me.
No words can describe my gratitude to God for deliberately assigning me to be part of them. Truly He knows each one of us and He knows every situations of our lives. My family is not perfect, we have the best and worst time together. We have experienced storms too but in each storm ends with a rainbow.
I honor and love my parents and would give them the best of everything that I can — I thank them sincerely for bringing me up to the person I am today — I value each of their sacrifices to give me a good education– I admire their love and loyalty for each other which I look up too — I respect their symphaty and love for other people — I am in deep gratitude to them for introducing me to God and inspiring me to Love HIM and others through the faith they bestowed on me— I am blessed by God for having my tatay and nanay…
Given a second life i will still wish to have the same family. I can’t ask for anyone else. I love my brother and my sister, inspite of our difference — they mean the world to me. I am a proud sister, I am an avid fan of both of them.
I know that many are suffering from their own families- maltreated , abused , unloved and hurt. This is not what God wants in ourlives, but He indeed allowed such turbulence to shape us and mold us to the person He wants us to be. Sometimes, there are circumstances that are beyond our control… we cant change how people think or behave but we can change our own lives… we can be better of, than the people who hurts us.
When we give love , we receive love. When we forgive, we are forgiven as well. Easier said than done yes… but with God’s Grace, the gaurantee is tantamount to peace and freedom.
In our family- whatever circumstance we are in… be bearer of love, peace and hope. Be the torch to light the family, be the chain to link each other wherever you are, be the helmet to protect it from pride and arrogance, be the couch to give comfort, be the hand to bundle up the family together.
We must not be jaded, for God has his reason of putting us to each of our families. We have missions to live by and reasons to live for.
We will glorify God In our lives!
