Play hide and seek

 


Few days before the Father’s Day a survey was conducted among young boys.  They were asked about the good character they like in their fathers.  One boy told his father will play hide and seek with him, the next one told his father used to take him for shopping.  In most of their answers the main thing they liked was their companionship with their father.  So let us all not forget to spend time with our children.

The survey conducted among young boys, where they expressed their appreciation for the companionship of their fathers, is a touching reminder of the importance of spending quality time with our children. Father's Day is indeed a great occasion to reflect on the bonds we share with our kids and the positive influence we can have on their lives.

Children often value the time spent with their parents’ more than material possessions or extravagant gestures. Simple activities like playing hide and seek, going shopping, reading a book together, or just having a heart-to-heart conversation can create lasting memories and strengthen the parent-child relationship.

In our busy lives, it's essential to make a conscious effort to prioritize family time and build connections with our children. These moments of companionship contribute to their emotional and psychological well-being, instill values, and create a sense of security and love that they carry with them throughout their lives.

So, on Father's Day and throughout the year, let's not forget to spend quality time with our children, listen to their thoughts and concerns, engage in activities they enjoy, and provide the love and support they need to thrive and grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.

Train up a child in the way He should go: and when He is old, He will not depart from it. We must spend enough time with our children to bring them in divine love.  We must pray with them and teach them charity, humility, wisdom etc.

Litmus Test

Image
When an aeroplane is flying the pilots will ask questions among themselves which is called Litmus Test.   When a problem comes while flying they must ask if the plane is still flying.   If the answer is yes then it means big danger is not there.   So they don’t have to show so much of interest on that problem. When Apollo 12 was going to the moon, it was struck by the lightning.   Red orange lights started burning.   So the astronauts wanted to do something immediately.   They asked among themselves if it was travelling in the right path.   The answer came in the affirmative for their questions.   After sometime the lights went off one by one and the rocket was moving in the right path. It's true that in various high-pressure situations, whether it's flying an airplane or conducting a space mission like Apollo 12, the concept of the "Litmus Test" or asking critical questions can be crucial. These questions help the pilots or astronauts assess the severity of the p

Children don’t need chocolates

Image
  Few years ago one day evening while walking in Chennai streets, we (my wife & myself) came across a children’s home (orphanage). We thought of going inside. How can we meet strange children with empty hand? So we bought half a kilo of éclairs chocolates from a nearby shop and went inside. While walking in, we heard a gentle voice, “where are you going”? Looking around we saw a lady through a window. We went near and told her that we would like to meet those little children inside. What is in your hands? She asked. Chocolates. The lady told us, we have plenty of food here. Every now and then we receive calls from leading bakeries and chocolate companies to supply us. Normally we say no to such call. Thanks for coming here with a good intention, but our children don’t need chocolates. We were puzzled and blinking. Then came her words, they need your love, physical touch, smile and laughter, your presence. She requested us to spend at least one hour with them. With doubts and not

Pain a Valuable Mechanism

Image
  A girl who acted in the serial, Grey’s Anatomy called herself as a super hero because she never experienced pain in her body.  Though she proclaimed proudly that there was no pain in her body, she was carrying a rare disease called congenital insensitivity to pain.  Those who have that disease will not experience pain.   For a man to live a healthy life he must have the sense of pain.   Otherwise some problem in his body will be unattended for a long time because of lack of pain and which may develop into a serious problem.   In our spiritual life also even if we do a small mistake our heart must be troubled and we must lose the peace of mind.   Then only we will repent and reconcile both with men and God. It is true that the ability to experience pain is crucial for maintaining a healthy life. Pain serves as a protective mechanism that alerts us to potential damage or injury to our bodies. Without the ability to feel pain, individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain may no
