Whom are you idolising ?



A quaint, little church in the middle of an expansive field.



When I was young I ended up being a huge fan of Ravi Shashtri
( an Indian cricketer ).Every inch of the wall in my room had space 
only for his pictures .

Time changes and so does our passion and interests .

One thing that I really regret is not knowing Our Lord early in life .

Going for Sunday church service in my growing up years was a ritual . 
Something  that needed to have a ✅ on my Sunday calendar . 
If wishes were horses I would turn around those years of my life 
into something more purposeful and meaningful . Knowing my creator 
in my youthful days [ Ecclesiastes 12:1 ] would mean walking in 
His statutes and promises and making the right choices . 

It's not too late even now for those who have regrets like I do . There is 
nothing greater in this world than knowing our Lord. This love, peace  
and joy in knowing our saviour cannot be traded for anything else. 
Sow into the lives of others and your children and your harvest 
will be plentiful. 

Idolising or putting something above God is not a great place to be in . 
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and 
EVERYTHING else will be added unto you.Matthew 6:33

Let’s lay down everything that keeps us away from God and may each 
step that we take brings us closer to Him than take us away from Him💜

The Watch Repairer

Image
Couple of my watches required battery replacement …. but oufff the price in this region to change the battery can be more expensive than buying a new watch 🫠 However we figured out the place where we could get original batteries at half price and with a guarantee for 2 years .. woooo that was amazing .  The watch repairer was a very unassuming person who took his tools and carefully opened the side of the watch where the battery had to be replaced.  And boy the insides of the watch looked so amazing … intricately done and it needed someone with precision and understanding to get the watch working again . He also cleaned the inside and reset the time, date and in few minutes my watch was working and looked as good as new with a little bit of cleanup too in the inside and outside !! This got me thinking !! We have been made so wonderfully and crafted so intricately in the inside. When we come to the end of our resources or feel depleted within, come to the Maker. He calls us to draw fro

I AM NEW

Image
I was in a bit of a hurry when I went to the local supermarket last week. The lady who was supposed to help me with packing the condiments & dips seemed to be from another planet . She looked lost , confused and irritable. I did not have much time to be able to deal with her mood swings.  However something caught my eye. There was a badge this lady was adorning which said “ I am new here". Well that explained it all !!! She was not able to understand things well and might still been trying to navigate her way through.  Suddenly my perspective changed and there was a paradigm shift.  I became more patient and kind towards her in my approach. I bought the things on the list and left the place wishing her all best in her new role ✨!!  I then thought to myself- wish I had a badge on me which would read  “ a sinner , saved by grace alone”, or “ bear with me as I am not perfect “, or “ extend me grace when I fall ” or “ forgive me, I do make mistakes”  May be if I had them on, thing

What’s your trigger

Image
  When our little dachshund Coffee, was tiny and when we all had to step out , we had to keep her closed in the kitchen . The kitchen has three doors , so it was a bit of challenge to keep her in and have the doors  closed as she would dash out from the other. So we had to strategically close two doors and leave her in and shut the door on her. This was done only for three months period as we then had a help who became available full time. It is now four years and Coffee is also four + , but whenever a door is shut, specially the kitchen door she panics and gets fearful with the thought of being closed up again !! Most of us also get triggered when we are reminded of an event or situation in the past and we feel overwhelmed and fear takes over . It probably may be something we went through as a child or even in our growing up years or even as an adult .  Are we then called to be in that place of fear and anxiety and not move ahead in life ? The answer is NO ! As believers we have been
