LOVE


Definition says "Love is a strong positive emotion of regard and affection". Looks Good, isn't it? A year before, I sat with few students who should be of ages 8 - 10 to pass my free hour,to have a general discussion with them. I asked them "what is Love?" Giggles came from them... Well, they are not to be blamed;this is the input we have given them; that they confuse love and love making (i mean the emotional one, not the physical one)

Then, I thought for a while and asked them again, Do you all love your mommy and Daddy? They all said "yes", then i continued; Is it so funny that made you giggle for the love, affection and regard that you have for your parents? There was silence. But then, just as so many of our movies in different media (languages)depicts, i even did not have a proper answer, other than pointing on the definition to make those little students understand what is love.

Fine, I then asked myself what is love - to find out if i really know what it is?, how does it look look like?,how does it make you feel?,do i really love somebody? and the questionnaire continued. I have tried answering to the questionnaire several times, All i realize is, i am still not grown enough to practice the depth of Love.( Results of self evaluation)

The World even though is very sinful, has paradises inside, in the form of LOVE.May be (b'coz, this is related to creation and existence of the planet Earth - i use "May be") this is the reason why the Earth is having a long Life.

Love is "BEAUTIFUL" - It does not apply make ups, to look beautiful;(ha ha...) but it shows the real nature of people and their readiness to sacrifice, forgive and accept people without regrets.

Love is like a "MELODY" - Without instruments, it can still make your soul delight. Trust, without doubt; Honoring each other irrespective of ages; Practicing Hospitality.

Love is more than a "DELICIOUS FOOD" - Real Love makes people Sincere, Trustable. It makes people live in Harmony and at Peace. It protects the mouths of people not to utter words, which spoils peace.

Well, lot more i can add on, but never to the extent as it is explained in the Bible (Chapter - 12 Romans)

You could earn anything, you can maintain a very good physique, you can have, wear anything you like, you can go anywhere you want - But you can never sleep unless you love yourself. You can never be at peace unless you realize, there is someone to accept you with all your blunders. It could be anyone - a mother, a Father, a brother, a sister, wife, Husband or a friend. This is Love.

When Trying to Love oneself (ourselves) and our beloved's - we turn beautiful each day, we understand things better, our faith and hope increases towards life - despite difficulties. We make our lives beautiful, relationships beautiful. We Trust more. Our Overall faith in Our Creator will increase - letting more miracles happen in our lives.

So, Why not???

Let's Love ... As Stated in Romans 12

Let the Love make the World a Paradise as it has, It is and it will be.
Let everyone know the real Love and taste its sweetness
Let Families Stay together and let children delight in togetherness
Let There be be understanding of Real Love

Let The Love of God Rule the World.

Dinning Together!!!


How Often do we make an attempt to have food together? Busy lives, with plates on hand, walking here and there, is the way sometimes we have our food. I don't blame anyone, because i myself, does the same, when i am in a hurry.

But i am never busy all the time. I can dine together, for at least a single meal.

Remember, family that prays and dines together, stays together.

There are some common hurdles, we get every day, in dinning together. It could be work,a phone call, visitors waiting to meet etc. How often do we realize, the importance of dining together??? Many times, we tend to sacrifice our precious private time for the sake of unnecessary work, call, meeting etc.

It doesn't require a fantastic table,with showy utensils and a great variety of food for dinning together.It just requires basic cleanliness, a caring person to offer food, pleasing words with sweet smiles....

There are also certain things to remember, while dining together. Share and speak only good things, while dinning; Sharing not so good things might prevent somebody in the future to avoid dinning together. It is as important to take care of dinning, just as the way we concentrate on cooking. Thus, by ensuring a happy situation for dinning encourages all members of the family, to get involved and even to get the desire of dinning together.

After all, we are all humans, we need love; which is available in the family in plenty. Why don't we take some efforts to express it whenever we can, instead of searching it outside (especially our children) ???
