Family Time

The Lord has been blessing our family so much. With my wife laboring so hard to help my children in their studies; the result of their labor was very obvious in my children scoring A+ in all the subject except in Hindi where they could manage up to A. On my part I decided to take them for family time and outing at Delhi India Gate. Two weeks ago we all went for a postlunch outing.

Family time with the whole afternoon was indeed a fun time for the children. They were very energetic playing and experimenting one play tool after another. I, on my part, was just a guardian watching over them. I did try out hand hands on a couple of instruments in the park. But for me, the oversight of the children well being, especially their safety was my main burden. If they enjoyed the time out there, that's my enjoyment too. Time has changed when I cared for my enjoyment to my children's enjoyment. If my children were, it was my happiness. After few hours of playing and running around, we enjoyed a family boating time, and finally treated them their desired cuisine, burger and chicken fry at KFC.

Such a family time was overdue as they were busy in their studies and I, in my office works and church responsibilities. Finally, at the opportune time, we all enjoyed an outing.

Time with the family besides occasional outing is a must for a healthy family. Every night and morning, we have the grace to spend time in prayer together. The act of coming together as a family for prayer is a great blessing. We all could pray together every night, and now it's in our blood and family daily schedule to come together for prayer.

May the Lord grace us to continue to spend time together as a family for prayer, for fellowship, and for an occasional family blending and building up.
