About Bliss Palmei

Behold, children are the heritage of Jehovah, the fruit of the womb a reward. Psalms 127:3

A sweet, simple, and sincere sister, my fiance in 2006, had fellowshipped with me that if I were to marry her I would never become a father for she had been advised by medical doctors that she would have difficulties in childbirth due to certain health issues. My innate reply was, "I am not marrying you to become a father. I am marrying you because you are the one God has chosen for me. If God wants us to have children, He will bless us in His own time." Once I was clear of God's will, nothing bothered me at all. We got married and I never had any expectation that I would become a father. I learned to be content with what God has given and commit every matter to Him who cares. 

Two years later, in 2008, our first child, a baby girl, was born. My joy knew no bound. To the blessing of God, what can I say except to thank Him? To express our feeling with God's blessing we named her Bliss, literally means, perfect happiness; great joy. The name we chose reflects our inward feeling.

Thirteen years later, she has attained her teenage age. Time ran so fast. I felt like I was dreaming; transiting from being a single man to a married man and then to being a father.  Thank God, I was not dreaming. It's true! I have become a father of a teenage daughter!

This is our photo together. Bliss Palmei and her dad!


This is the message I posted on Facebook after many years of opening an account. Perhaps, I will be posting more as the Lord leads, using suitable media outlet for the testimony of Jesus!
