Family Time

Every day the Lord has been gracing us to come together for morning revival and prayer in the morning and for a family prayer time in the evening. This is one of the blessings of God as a family. On the lighter side, there is also a need to spend time with the children during their vacation for an outing. So, we finally could make it last Monday.

First, we went to an amusement park with the hope of spending the entire afternoon. But to our dismay, the management had changed their policy; they did not admit guest merely to amusement parks without a food package. They charged heftily for every guest which was not at all conducive for us. We did not go there to eat, in fact, we had our meals and went there only for the children to play. Then we all changed plan and went to Ambience Mall instead, which worked out to be a much better place for the children.

When the children enjoyed and had a good time, I am just happy as well. As a father, my joy is the joy of my children; and as a husband, my joy is the joy of my wife. Being a family man, my heart is inclined towards the Lord who blessed me with a wonderful family. As a parent, my wife and I are just the Lord's guardian to care for the children He kept us in our custody until He would take them further for Himself.

Our God is a God of small things too. Eating ice-cream together as a family was such fun. Family dinner of my children's choice meal that made them happy was the best dinner. The time together as a family at home, and occasionally at other places like Malls and Hotels for dinner is a good way of family blending.

It is definitely the blessing of God that my wife and I are blessed with three wonderful children. Our prayer has always been that the Lord would grace us to be a God-man family of His heart's desire, that we can boldly declare to the whole world as Joshua of the Bible: But as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah. Joshua 24:15b

Praise the Lord for such family time!
