My mom had a tough pregnancy and had almost nearly lost me . Many were covering us in prayer during that time. The nuns in the convent, I have been told were offering prayers for us ,when mom went into labour .My parents not only prayed for a healthy and normal child but also pleaded with God for a girl child as the older two were boys. 

And then I arrived,frail,feeble,shivering,a tiny baby girl. An answer to their prayers. The  nuns in the convent wished to be the ones to give me a name and they decided to name me - Mini !! Not knowing that the tiny child would grow up to be so very tall that people would call her 'maxi' ! 

Being tall,in my school days caused me so much of embarrassment. People used to look at me as if I came from some other planet. In the northeast of India where I grew up and did my schooling and college most of them typically have an average height which was 5:5 and I exceeded that by 4 inches . 

It really now amuses me when I look back to those years . We are just not happy with what we are blessed with . It always appears that the boy or the girl next door is much happier and perfect in every way . Short people would do anything to be tall . Dark complexioned  people would do anything to be fair . India I think is the only country that sells fairness creams for both men and women, such is the need that we have . Ironically we also have a group of people who would  brave the scorching heat with their sun tan lotions to get a brown or tan complexion . Women with curly hair love straight hair and vice versa. Why is grass always greener on the other side 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I think each one of us have at some time been through that phase in our lives. I now love myself for who I am after all I have been fashioned and created perfectly and uniquely by our Master and God .  

If you are still in doubt like doubting Thomas from the Bible ( ironically that’s my last name 😀), then I have sufficient evidence that I would like to share . 

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Psalms 139:13-16 

Each one of us are unique and perfect because we are His masterpiece. 
Praise God for that ! Love yourself for you are perfect just the way you are ♥️

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...

The wrong pin 🙃

Image
All excited for our ladies day out , I headed to meet my friend for a time of fun and gastronomic treats . I followed the location pin she shared with me and once I heard “ you have arrived, your destination is to your right "  very expectantly I stepped out but to my utter disappointment could not locate the building where my friend lived. I argued with the security that the building should be somewhere around and that he might not be aware 🫢.  However when I called my friend she agreed to have made the mistake of sending me the location pin of her office instead of the residence pin 📌 🙆‍♀️. Humbled and apologising to the security I now had to reroute and drive to the right address being behind our schedule by 45 mins .   Putting things into perspective and applying this into life , how often do we blindly follow people , ideas , religion, and end up in places and situations that we least expect.   How is it we are so blind to the fact that there is only one TRUT...

For we are to God the fragrance of Christ

2 Corinthians   2:15   One Sunday morning on one of my metro rides in Delhi , I got super impressed when I saw a young gentleman(non Indian) carrying a big Bible with him . During our very short conversation he told me that he is new in Delhi and still figuring out a church to go to . I was happy to help and decided to give him my number when he asked me for the same.   However this was a bad decision. Despite him knowing that I have a family he started   to bother me with unwanted calls . It was getting too much that my husband had to intervene. He was upset that I trusted a stranger with my number. However I got easily misled by the big Bible that he was carrying and thought he would be a fine gentleman! Must say this incident left me to be more wiser and discerning. Carrying a Bible does not mean that we carry Christ like qualities in us . Christ like qualities translate into actions . This can only happen when we become not only hearers ...
