Family Reunion in Gurugram

Since last year, my father has been calling me, requesting for a proper time for him to come visit us. Due to my hectic traveling schedule, I was no able to make any arrangement as their visit required at least a month's stay for medical check ups, especially, their dental works to be done. Therefore, only  this month was conducive for me, as I also put on hold all traveling plans as long as my parent are with me.

Once my son completed his class ten board exam, my mom and dad came to visit us. Right away, I started all the medical tests, eye check up, and dental works. Every night, we ate meals together, had some fellowship, and prayed together. They both are very happy to be with us especially with their grand children.

To me, this is the blessing of God and an answer to all the prayers we have offered for our parent. My prayers for my parents, both mine and my wife's, have been that the Lord would bless them with Himself as the Blessing; bless them with good health and long life filled with peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. In fact, this prayer has been answered. 

As much as the Lord graced me, I would do my best to honor my parent according to His words.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise, “That it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.”

Ephesians 6:1-3, RecVer

The future is in the Lord’s hand which I know nothingabout, and the present is also in the Lord’s hand which I can cooperate with God in honoring my earthly patent. As long as, and as much as possible, trusting in the Lord’s grace, I would do my best to honor my parent in every practical way possible. It was a joy indeed to take care of them practically, buying for them whatever they need, especially, the food they enjoy to eat. Spiritual and mental peace along with physical supply as the Lord provides, is what they have been enjoying these days. 

We have been enjoying our family reunion in Gurugram as the Lord has been gracing and blessing us. May the Lord’s grace and blessings continue to be our enjoyment.
