Proverbs 3:33
The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but the dwelling of the just he blesses…
------------------------------------------------------
As a child, we would already know the difference between a “house” and a “home”. A house is just a mere structure made of wood, concrete and steel. But a home refers to the people who resides therein – made out of love, peace and trust in One True God.
“God Bless Our Home” – may the Lord God bestow on our family His holiness, love, mercy and hope. A short but powerful prayer that we can utter at the start and end of the day, showing trust in God that He will be with us, His family, forever.
Create the relationships you wish for yourself and your family by being the example you want from each of them. God has seen fit to teach man about family by giving Him a family of his own
Therefore, it is wrong to take your family for granted. Members of a family have obligations to one another. We have a right to expect love, support, encouragement, protection and even preference from our family.
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus, with Mary and Joseph, you have lived within a family; teach me always to appreciate the precious gift of being part of a family. Show me new ways to protect and comfort those closest to me, and let me, each day, do something that will say ‘I love you’ without speaking the words.
Prompt me always to turn back without delay - to forgive, and be forgiven. Let me see your image within each person in my own family, and in my greater family, knowing that in your Kingdom, we will truly be one family, united by your sacrifice on the cross. Amen +
“You know what family is,
For You were a part of one.
Be a part of Your family, is my only wish
And my only wish for everyone.”
The just one shall live on your holy mountain, O Lord.
