Too much of freedom will be dangerous


 Sam went to the garden to play with his father. Few cows in the garden were tied with shorter ropes, that they found it very difficult to eat the grass fed to them. Sam asked why these cows were tied with such short ropes that they found very difficult to eat the grass and he exclaimed that the cows were so pity. And he told why not the cows be tied with longer ropes so that they can eat comfortably. His father with a smile on his face replaced a cow’s rope with a long rope and asked Sam to watch and see what would happen.

The cow in its greediness went around and around the tree eating the grass joyfully and the rope got shortened because it moved several round around the tree. The rope became so short and it started tightening the neck of the cow. The gardener asked Sam to look at the situation of the cow, it may be danger for the cow’s life itself. He removed the longer rope and again tied it with a short rope.

Often in our life, too much of freedom will be dangerous. We need certain restrictions also. When God send His word to discipline us let us not stand against his word. We must take God’s word for our own discipline. Then only we can be safe in this life and can receive God’s blessing.

Long Life

  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

Image
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
