Freely give


 We have received much freely from the Lord. Then let us give freely to others as well, not in a miserly or stingy way, but liberally and with a large heart.

We must never lose the wonder of the forgiveness that the Lord has granted us so freely.

 OUR WHOLE LIFE MUST NOW BE LIVED AS AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE TO THE LORD FOR ALL THAT HE DID FOR US ON CALVARY'S CROSS.

The good news of the gospel is that we can be saved from a miserable existence. We can now have rivers of living water flowing out through us constantly and be a blessing to every family that we meet.

We can be merciful to others just as God has been merciful to us.

We can release others just as God has released us.

We can bless others just as God has blessed us.

We can give freely to others just as God has freely given to us.

We can be large-hearted to others just as God has been to us.

You can lead a happy life, if we release everyone who owes us anything, or who has hurt or harmed us in any way. Bury those grudges permanently and be merciful to all men and thus make a new beginning with the Lord today.

Long Life

Image
  Leonard Syme who worked as a Professor in California University in the department of Epidemiology told about the relation between the people’s social relations, percentage of sick people and percentage of people dying.   He took Japan as an example.   He told Japan is the healthiest country in the world where more percentage of people live above the age of 90.   He insisted that the social culture in Japan is the main reason for this. Joined families are a common culture in Japan.   Youngsters help one another and they help the old people in their day to day life.   This is the secret of long life. Let us all help one another and love one another to live a long life. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

A successful marriage

Image
  A man went home from his office tired and exhausted.   On entering his house, he saw his two children fighting and all the objects in the hall disorderly placed.   He went to the kitchen to have his tea but it was not there.   Angrily he searched for his wife and found her quietly sleeping on the bed.   He asked her what happened to you.   She told every day you have been asking me what I am doing here.   So today I kept myself without doing anything so that you will understand what I have been doing every day. The story provided emphasizes the importance of understanding, love, and respect in a marital relationship. It illustrates how the husband's lack of awareness about his wife's daily responsibilities and struggles led to a moment of realization when he experienced a taste of her routine. In any relationship, particularly a marriage, empathy and communication are vital. Both partners should make an effort to understand each other's roles, responsibilities, an

Virtues

You cannot plant a garden, by ignoring it, and expect to see fruit. Instead, you must do the hard work of pulling weeds and cultivating crops. In the same way, families require consistent effort over the long haul. We work on our families by cultivating kindness, forgiveness, time together, listening, and a host of other virtues. We must also weed out indiscipline, anger, bitterness, selfishness, rudeness, wandering eyes, and any other sin that effects our families. If you inspect the garden every day to look for growth, you probably don’t see perceptible movement, but over the course of weeks you begin to see fruit. In the same way, we only see growth in our families over the course of time and this growth only takes place when spouses are committed to each other for the rest of their lives. Families grow because spouses are growing, children are growing and many people will not take the time to make the difficult changes that need to be made when they are not committed for the rest
