On a Rainy day..

It is a beautiful day here in Pune. The weather just awesome J and a walk in the campus is a must to enjoy the beauty around. Wrote these few lines after a walk in this lovely place.


A day filled with His goodness
Is what I woke up and found.
With joy and happiness,
Doth my heart abound.
Oh what a beautiful day!
Though the showers keep pouring
Still the sun lights my way.
Flowers blooming, trees swaying,
The cool breeze so refreshing,
That am lost in the Creator's art
I just can't withhold from singing
Dear Lord, How Great Thou Art!

Healing in the Pain

Image
I have carried this baggage for too long. It's time I let go of it and walk free.  A Caring Aunty from church accompanied me and my hubby to a hospital to have me examined. The reason - It was two years past our marriage and the expected bundle of joy had not arrived. I am so grateful for the love she had for us. Like a mom, she took me to the doctor's office.I've heard stories from colleagues who went for treatment month after month.But what followed next was least expected. The lights went off as I lay on the table for the TVS.The doc began the exam with her magic wand and, I yelled in pain,"It's painful, it's painful."  Everyone in the room gave me a weird look. It was not supposed to be that way. The next time I complained of pain, I was told 'could be psychological'.By this time, I began having nightmares the day before my exam. It was like every time the doctor gets to work with the wand, I would shout rather yell in pain like someone abused....

One's Longing, Worthless to Another

  It was a usual day at work when a young lady inquired at our registration desk if she could meet the Obs/Gyn Consultant. It was well past the OPD timings (2:30 pm) and the staff explained that she could go to the Emergency Room if it was an emergency or meet the doctor the following day. As she insisted she wanted to consult the doctor, the staff inquired further, and she was quite reluctant. I was in the same room as the staff and the only woman in the room at that time when she called out to me and said, "Can I talk to you in private?" I went out to meet her. With a smile, she said, "I want to abort." She pointed out to her one-year-old son, held in his father's arms, and said, "Uski wajhe se hi mujhe karna hai (he is the reason I want to abort). While a sea of thoughts flooded my mind, I politely asked if she had bleeding, etc.—any complications that might need immediate intervention just to ensure whether her case was urgent (I am not a medico). ...

Cast me not away from Your Presence, O Lord

Image
Very often, after a Sunday service or a prayer fellowship we say / hear others say,"What an encouraging Word!", "Surely the Lord is in our midst". We grew up reciting our prayers- 'where two or three are gathered together in my Name, I am there.. '. Are you sure The Lord of hosts is there? I must admit there were times I doubted His presence when I prayed. Do we have the same church-like or fellowship like experience in the privacy of our homes, in our prayer closet? Are we aware of His presence every time we pray? Not everyone can stand before His holy place.There are prerequisites; as King David says,"He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol..." (Psalm 24:4). Wouldn't our homes be heaven on earth if filled with God's presence, for there would be no room for the deeds of darkness when righteousness, peace and the joy of the Lord flows. David, having known the preciousness of God's presence, cr...
