Every day Blessings

There are enormous ways in which God touches our life. Day in and Day out he is walking with us , helping us in ways which we many times do not realize. Today after an year, when I see the my friends running around for admissions for their kids, I realize the gift that God has give to us one year back. An Year back at this same time, we were also worried about our 1st Son Delon's admission in Christ Academy. It was really tough to get the admissions. The selection process itself is random and it is only by God's grace that you would get a call from them for interview. We had taken our new house near to the school hoping that we will get the admission in that school. We even had taken a recommendation letter from one of the Priests as a safety measure ( If in case the school didn't call us for admissions). But God was great. Even in the random selection, we were called for the admissions and in the interview Delon had cleared it without much difficulty. We knew abou...

We have been hearing the story of Rich Man and Lazerous may be from our school days at Catechism. We know the story that the rich man didn't give any attention to the Poor Lazerous who was waiting at this doorstep. May be this is the reason that Heaven was closed for him. But looking deeper into this parable, we have few more dimensions rolling out The rich man was wearing a RED dress. What does RED Symbolizes ? DANGER. Bible says that rich man was living in Danger and he was covering himself with danger. He was wearing soft clothes which symbolizes luxury. But he was a good man. Why because he allowed Lazer to be at his doorstep. We normally do not allow any strangers to come near our house. Forget house, we don't even allow them to stay in the farmland too. But this Rich Man has allowed Lazer to lie down at his doorstep. This shows that there was a Strong Relationship between Lazerous and the Rich Man. Was it a Father - Son Relation. May be . Bible is Silent on this....

This Sunday's ( 20th July) Mass Reading was all about entering through the Narrow Route. Priest asked the children if they liked Ice Cream. He also mentioned that Yesudas, One of the finest singers of the country never had taken ice cream in his life. He had sacrificed the taste of ice cream for the good of his voice. He has taken his narrow route, of sacrificing his taste. There are different narrow routes that we see across in our daily life. We see the tough path taken by the Widow who sacrificed 2 Coins that she only had. We see the path of his disciples who sacrificed their work and followed Jesus. Day in and Day out we need to walk through the narrow path to attain the Salvation. Now what is the Narrow Path of Children. It is now , their Studies. When they have great wish to Play, watch Movies, Hang out with Friends and when they are ready to sacrifice all these for their studies, they are taking the narrow route.  It is difficult but if they are able to do that without th...

Dearo's 'Sleep' is something very precious to all of us. When we are tried in the evening we just want to reach the bed, and in the early morning's its so difficult for us to leave the bed.  A night without sleep ..Ah, its impossible to think. If you woke up without proper sleep, the next day is spoiled completely. You will have a headache for sure followed by dizziness, Heavy eyes, unable to concentrate in work and other emotions like anger, frustration etc etc.  This shows how important is sleep in our biological cycles. I couldn't realize the importance of sleep until last week when I had few days of sleepless nights. One fine wednesday night, I went to sleep  as usual but was unable to sleep. I was wondering what happened. Till that day, all things were going fine. I used to fall asleep as soon as I see the bed but this fine day I was unable to sleep. I somehow spend that night on bed and woke up with a heavy head. Thought this was due to some tensions I wa...

Holy Spirit was a word that was known to me from my age of 7 on wards. I received the sacrament of anointing from Bishop and from that day I believe that there is Holy Spirit.  But, who was he ? I have heard from 1000s of retreats and speeches that we need to receive holy spirit in our life to have changes in life...When Spirit comes into you, you will get completely transformed, You need the strength of the Spirit to make changes in your life, to get out from your temptations. God, there are so many things that this spirit could do in your life. But who is he really ? I cor 2: 10 Says- We have the same spirit that is residing in God. This was something new to me. The book says, The spirit is the one and only one person who will know about your innermost thoughts, he will only know whom you are , what you are. Though you may show a different character to the world, though you may appear Good or bad to the world, the spirit residing in you actually knows who you are.  T...
