God is my keeper; He will never forget nor ignore me. He will never slumber nor sleep; He is the Guardian-God for His people, Israel. Jehovah Himself will watch over you; He’s always at your side to shelter you safely in His presence “ Psalms 121:5 TPT When ever I recall the incident that happened in my native home few years back I really have goosebumps!   Those who are from Kerala , India will know having a wood fire stove [made out of clay and mud] is something like a must have in every home. It just helps to cook authentic cuisine and many other local delicacies over low simmering coal. Though every home has a gas stove , a meal cooked over wood fire is always prefered and relished. One night after finishing up work, mom used an old grass-broom to clean up the kitchen and post winding up called it a night and went to sleep .A s she woke up in the morning , she smelt something awful in the kitchen. It was the smell of smoke and of something having been b...

What gives you a high ...when you are low...hmmm , it's a good question !! Some would say,binging,impromptu shopping ,indulging in chocolate or ice creams , smoking , boozing and getting high on it , sleeping it out , not talking to anyone, locking yourself in or yelling back at someone ..and the list can go on and on ? What ever be the escape route or escape mechanism, those are just temporary ways and means. Because when you are met with the same challenges agan,then you will be back to square one all over again . These escapades either impacts our health,our nervous system, in gaining   unnecessary weight or in ending up depleting our finances .   What do I do when I feel low ??? You are asking me ?? Hmmm  🤔 I  would either dig into junk food and take in those extra unwanted calories or else would end up in some impromptu shopping ! Well that’s now something more or less of the past! There are seasons in every Christian’s life when we feel surrounded a...

She grew up to be beautiful and charming ,  Happy and carefree, whistling and humming, Unaware of a world which can be distressing! As the great Gardner took a stroll,  In the beautiful garden of our world He decided in His wisdom ,to pick this beautiful girl   Budding,waiting to blossom,  yet yielding to His will   She knew she had to be still ! All of 18 she was betrothed and soon came the wedding, A new season, a new path came beckoning With the change in season came the storms of life   Losing two loved ones and in strife Broken and shattered ; She turned to God   For strength and faith and for steadfast hope Before she knew she was twenty three  And by then she was blessed with three   A mother where her three, found love and warmth   Loving, caring, humility  few of her strengths A heart of gold & w isdom unlike the worlds   A rare jewel and one of a kind , she taught u...

I have great memories of my growing up years . My dad and me used to make a great team as I was his favourite , my brothers will agree though grudgingly !! Dad is quite good at pulling off some pranks and fortunately or unfortunately I have been a party to many of it. One being - for my parents 25th wedding anniversary, dad brought mom a beautiful saree ! Mom was so overwhelmed and excited and in-order to stretch the excitement further , he tampered with the price tag and added an extra digit. Mom was so ecstatic about the whole thing and also flaunted it off a bit to her friends very modestly  😃 Since Dad always had such things up his sleeves and me being his partner in crime, when he would tell me certain things I always wanted to ascertain the authenticity of the matter. When he would give up convincing me   he would say these two lines : Even if I were to cut open and show you my heart   You would say that it's something else   Those words ...

How much do you love  ?? Some of us can’t see the pain that our spouse , siblings , close friends or our relatives go through . We would want to do all it takes ,to do what is within our ability, that would help in bringing about a change in their situation . We get easily hassled , perturbed and give up our trust and hope ! However   many situations are so beyond us, and we need a supernatural intervention . We need God to come and turn things around ! Chatting via zoom and seeking prayers for a divine intervention in an urgent need of a loved one , this friend very earnestly prayed over the need . While winding up the call , she said, a close family member of hers is currently behind bars and been convicted for 10 years of prison sentence [ wrongly accused by the in-laws ]. This broke my heart . Questions like - is she hurting, is she shattered about it , is she worried about the person ? What she said blew me and my thinking !! Mini - we have been praying tha...
