Reason to Write...

It’s been a while since I have published a post. I don’t believe that I need to pen down everything that happens daily. I guess the beauty of it lies in keeping certain incidents close to yourself, to ponder over it a couple of times in your heart or head, which ever way you choose.

Of course there are those things that need to be shared or should be shared with others. How do we know when and how do we know what?? This of course requires much wisdom and discernment! This also bears great bearing on your motives which clears the path in a big way.

You as a reader might have noticed my posts to be short and containing simple topics. Honestly, I am no philosopher who has the answer to all the questions life throws at me. But as mentioned in my earlier posts, I do know the One who created me and called me to live this life in way that truly honors Him and is absolutely satisfying!!

My task is to point you to the One I know, the Creator and Sustainer of this universe we live in. I am sharing a except of one man named Paul who addressed the people of Athens on the same issue.  I will be grateful if you read this account! 

"So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, 'To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.  The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. 

And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,  that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward Him and find Him. Yet He is actually not far from each one of us, for

"'In Him we live and move and have our being';

   

   as even some of your own poets have said,

   "'For we are indeed his offspring.'

 Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent, because He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He has appointed; and of this He has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead." From the Bible (Acts 17: 22-31)

 

On a Rainy Day

What are all the things you can do on a rainy day? Yes! You read it right! There is so much you can indulge in on a rainy day.

When there is an incessant downpour, and you go, “Oh no! These rains have ruined my plans for the day. Here I am, all cooped up in the house” Try looking at it in another way. Maybe it’s time to think of all the things that you have pushed to the back burner.  Say, for example, reading that unfinished novel, trying that new recipe you stumbled upon You Tube or even better, sipping a cup of brewed coffee that your friend gifted you.

There’s so much to enjoy even on this day!!  How do you plan to spend your day at home?? I will be trying a new recipe and giving my family a treat!! Hope they like it!!

The Magic of Morning!

I find something magical about mornings. Everything seems new. There is a fresh feeling to things that seemed dull the day before. It’s like being born again with renewed energy to accomplish things that you failed yesterday.

I thank God for creating mornings! The joys of waking up from deep slumber and finding new vigor to face the day. What a blessing indeed to experience this miracle not just once, but every single day!  

So, I say to you, "Good Morning!!" :)
