MEDITATION JUNE 2012

Life is blessed and good Romans 8, 31 – 39 . BIBLE

One day my grandson looked up from what he was doing and exclaimed “ grandma I love you ”,  I  asked why ?  Without missing a beat he said “ because you are cuddly . He was then probably about 3 years old  . What warmth and pleasure those  words brought to my heart . My grandson loved me not because I was impeccable, he loves me because I am his grandma.

The pleasure of belonging to a family is a treasure indeed . Family is the first thing we inherit or become part of at birth . Family gives us our identity , our sense of belonging and our emotional fulfilment . The measure of influence our family has on us is immense.Our family is a force of influence , a support  at the time of need , a haven of shelter and a shoulder to cry upon , when needed . Family is love in motion.

We live in an universe with an organised structure . Our planet earth is made up of continents , then countries. Countries are made up of states , municipalities , cities and towns ; these are made up of families or homes and then individuals . So we can say that the world is made up of people and families .

May I suggest that we look at the  impact of our family upon ourselves , our community and especially the next generation . As an individual or collectively the FAMILY is the world shaper of the future .

And today I say my life is truly blessed because of my family.

PRAYER

GOD Almighty , thank you for my family . May your blessing of love, abundance and safety surround them . Grant me the strength to live a credible life and be a source of encouragement for my family . Amen

Thought  for  the  month

FAMILY IS THE HERITAGE OF YESTERDAY ,

IDENTITY OF TODAY  AND THE FUTURE OF TOMORROW .
