Things the Lord hates and detests -Part I
There are many deadly sins The Lord detest in human kind.The sad part is we are not aware of those in us.
Haughty eyes
When Nebuchadnezzar said within himself with a pride "is not this the great Babylon I have built for my glory and to show off my power"The moment these words came out of his mouth ,An angel appeared and announced the punishment given to him.He was driven away from his kingdom.
"I know everything .you don't have to tell me" ,"you are nothing before me", "you must obey me because I know everything"
These are the sentences we blurted out when people hurt our pride or simply you can show haughtiness with rough look.We are all take pride about ourselves for being someone or accomplishing something in our life.It may be money , children , Status ,job etc.,
If we going to take pride in something in our life and concentrate and cherish that part only means we are going to lose balance.
Yes, pride will make you lose your balance in life.
Everything is temporary in this life.The problem is we don't know which one we lose and which one we hold till at last.That's why we must humble ourselves before God.Accepting our weakness and ask him to protect us only make us stronger.
when people mock at where you kept your pride in you will be deeply hurt.This is the reason behind teenage girls and boys standing in front of the mirror all day long to correct their looks.They don't want to be hurt or mocked by others.
If they keep this verse in their mind their fear will be far away.
"So then,banish anxiety from your and cast off the troubles of your body for youth and vigor are meaningless".(ecclessiastes11:10)
Understanding haughtiness through Job's Life :-
We won't be haughty if we have the outlook of Job over life.Even though he was came over by strife and tribulation in his life he never opened his mouth to blasphemy JEHOVAH.He simply says "shall we accept good from god not trouble" because he never had a pride over his possessions or his rich status.Job took pride in his righteousness.He always thought he did right things before God , Indeed he did.Even God approved his deeds and considered him as a Righteous Man.Job does not know the argument between God and Satan over job's righteousness.
When Job's friends came over and offend his righteousness as this is the moment to belittle him ,It hurts Job deeply.What Job had is pride in his righteousness ,it only hurt himself and what his friends had is haughtiness to taunt others,to belittle others ,looking for the right time to smack Job down.That's why the lord got angry with Job's friends.As Job is a humble person he prayed for them.The Lord once again accepted job's prayer .Thus it ends well.
To be continued..........

How to support your children
1.Children has the great capacity of understanding in what they are interested.Do not smother them by saying " she or he's just a little child".
2.Children learn by watching so practice what you are telling them to do.
for eg:wake up early before telling hem to do so.
3.Children loves attention and affection from their parents constantly. If they didn't get that they may try to gather it by improper behavior.Let them know your concern for them.Don't make them think you are worrying for them.
4.Tell them what are the hardships you are facing and what are you doing to got over your problems.You will be surprised to see your children actively take part in discussion and come up with alternate solution.Not only that it improves their responsibility as a part of the family.
5.Even though they're capable of doing great things do not drive them crazy towards their goal.Do not show them the only goal is to earn money.Be a fortress for them when they need comfort.
Remember, every parent has the responsibility of building a good society.

Forgiveness is the way of life!(1)
we always had a habit of holding grudges against the people who wronged us.In this wretched world people often hurt ,kill,wrath ,grudge ,dishonour, and so on against others.if we watch carefully one can notice characters opposite to the above mentioned negative qualities inside him.Amazing ain't it?.We are often pushed to show the negative qualities rather than the positive qualities .
In order to show the positive character we must have to work hard.when some person confront us with his negative character we are pushed too far to show our negative character to make him scare away.That's why we all praise the man who keep his calm when he is facing troubles to make him bitter , wrath even to revenge.Those who show anger ,raising his voice on others are seen as a man of influence. "patience is virtue" is an old saying which losing its significance gradually. Bible emphasize the value of patience in James chapter 3 verse 5-10.
5 Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things.
It takes only a spark to start a forest fire! 6 The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person’s entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures can be tamed and have been tamed. 8 But our tongues get out of control. They are restless and evil, and always spreading deadly poison.
9-10 My dear friends, with our tongues we speak both praises and curses. We praise our Lord and Father, and we curse people who were created to be like God, and this isn’t right.
Isn't our heavenly father showing us the higher way of life . The tree is always identified by its fruit.Everyone knows the truth that we have both positive and negative qualities inside of us.In china they call it as yin and yang.Every religion in this world accepts the fact good person also have some bad qualities ,bad person too have some good inside them.The qualities we show or how we act before everyone determines our character.
As we know we are made up of good and evil,why this evil overcome us easily not the good?why its easy for us to show anger rather be patient?
Let's see what bible say about this in next article

My Mom's recipe
My mother knows how to do something different from what others are doing.but she is always unaware of this fact.I never saw my dad flattering my mom for her culinary skills so she always think she's not that good in cooking.
Truth is ,Dad always loves my mom's cooking but he is not expressive.I think most of the husbands failed in this area of appreciating their wife's skills so that they believe they can't do anything better for the rest of their lives.Now -a-days situation is different ladies get education ,standing on their own feet . ladies are becoming career -oriented too.back then in 70's women are totally family oriented .They rely on their husband's appreciation and encouragement for happiness. I don't blame my Dad ,in India ,men are brought up like they are some what superior and special than women.I can say most of the men doesn't know the true value of women and the real meaning of marriage.I doubt the same for women too.
I remember the words i hear somewhere "Treat your wife like a queen you are a king already".I feel some men are afraid to treat their wife in that way just because "what if she starts dominating me?" or They simply felt "I don't want my wife to compete with me". May be they let her earn and career oriented but the honest comment on her actions only make her shine brighter.
some men are blind to their wife's flaws and they simply gave her a nod for everything.They like to be submissive in order to escape from conflict between them. So these women starts to believe whatever they're doing is right.not at all.
Honest criticisms are necessary for personal growth and good bonding between relation ships.I personally feel people are misusing this criticism .They like to overdoing it again and again until the relationship got rotten.If you love somebody truly then your criticism will help them grow and achieve their goal in life.some criticize others for pleasure ,some doing it just to bring someone to their knees.
Insecurities inside us always bring bad comments.We must correct ourselves in the area we criticize others.Then only we know the problems they are facing and the empathy for them will grow.
Every individual is different in their own way if we learn to respect the differnce most of the problems will be easily solved.

Sweet memories
Yesterday
I was watching a talk show there they are dicussing about debilitating jobs .Those work were once praised and many showed their interest to learn now its going unrecognised.
Its so painful to see farming or being a farmer is not giving them the recognition and importance they deserve to have.Not only Agriculture other sub jobs such as pottery,cattle breeding and other village arts are also gradually disappearing .I believe personally only thing everyone can do is to respect the people who earns their living by hardworking .I must underline the word "RESPECT" coz its the very needy thing present in all kind of relationships.It may be Father-son,mother-in-law-daughter -in-law or business partners or even romantic relationships.
Well.My Father always told me that .He respects everyone irrespective of their jobs and age.I am proud to say that .I always remember his gardening passion.He likes to use mud pot in summer season while many people of his rank would go for refrigerator and other beverages.When I was young Dad and me buried shallots in the wetsoil to see how it is growing ,wet soil is used as a support for pot to stand and it always kept the water cool. besides Water get its taste slightly from the mud and it will do no harm.
Now our kids have the habit of drinking refrigerated water .For some of us its a status symbol to have fridge and store all beverages to just show off.
We are storing all the veggies to left -over food and eatin it 3days old without complaining .I don't understand it's boon or bane.I wonder whether next generation know how this mud pot look like.
As the world goes ,we people are also going doesn't know where would this might end up.

A genuine friend
I always remermber my friend kavitha for her character.she is a kind of person you can come across very rarely.she's my only friend in my undergraduate years.I am not the kind of person look so pretty and get appreciation for every thing I do.It deeply affects my mind and most of the time I prefer to be alone .
she was kind to me .she always encourage and appreciate me.she told me to join the drill practice which was held on independence day.Even though many girls didn't like me there just because I was fat! One lecturer came to me and said "Don't join drill any more".
on that day of drill unfortunately my bus break down and i was late.she 's the girl all along with me throughout the day . she was a great support to me that i will never forget.
I don't know how she is now.she may be changed .That one act of random kindness really helped me cope up with my stress back then.
