My Father, My Son, Blessed Generation!

Jehovah has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron; He will bless those who fear Jehovah, Both small and great. May Jehovah give you increase, Both you and your children.(Psalms 115:12-14, RecVer)

After thirteen years of prayer for the salvation of my family, my whole family got saved one by one, and then finally my father got saved on the thirteenth year of persevering prayers. Thirteen years after my father's baptism, my son believed into the Lord Jesus Christ and took baptism. The Lord graced me in the salvation of my father and my son. For both their salvation I had been graced to pray for their salvation and when the Lord answered my prayers, He further graced me to baptise my father and my son.

The Lord has been mindful of us, and has been blessing us with increase in life, both physically and spiritually. Last Tuesday my father visited us in Gurugram basically for his eye check up for which the Lord also provided the best hospital with all the facilities needed exactly for His eyes treatment. The Lord has used this visit for a family reunion and I sensed that I should deeply treasure this time with my father. Therefore, being led by the Lord, I captured photos of the three of us, my father, myself, and my son. I captioned this memorable photoshot in my WhatsApp status as "My Father, My Son; Three Generation!" Little did I realise that what I posted on my status was readily visible to all my contacts and that they could reply to the status update. Few minutes after my status update, I received a good number of messages replying to my status. One of them caught my attention, a sister whom I shepherded many years ago, an army officer, now a mother of one son, as she quoted a verse from Psalms 115:12-14. I took that as the Lord's speaking to me. Now, I have a new caption of the Lord’s blessing as, "My Father, My Son, Blessed Generation!"

The photo was taken today after the Lord’s Table Meeting in the church in Gurugram. I felt like the Lord has appointed this day for this special moment where I could be captured with my "spiritual children" of my previous and next generation, of the same spiritual heirs and biological heirs too as I have been burdened for both my father and my son's spiritual and physical well being.

I pray that the Lord will continue to bless me and my family for His divine and eternal purpose. I pray that my whole offspring serve only the true and living God all the days of our lives and that the God whom we serve be the God of the Palmeis just like the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. In like manner, the God of Palmei's father, the God of Palmei, and the God of Palmei's son be this God. And may my whole generation serve this living God!

Thank you Lord, for the family You blessed me with!
