Something to Talk About...

Give them Something to Talk About...

As a parent, making my kids happy is priceless. We plan a lot of outings, activities, trips to hear their loud laughs and rejoice through their glittering joyful eyes. Their purity speaks out loud when something really touches them...I can see the proof when they pick up the phone and tell their grandma the fun they had in details and excitement. Suddenly, you ll realize, as a father and mother, that you gave your loved ones SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT... not just some hours or days, but a moment, a memory and a story to last as long as they live...a story that makes your heart dance with pride and love!

Reading Mark 5, a young man with a ruined life, living in tombs, deserted by his family and friends, feared by his town, had a transformational encounter with Jesus. This young man, once fully entrenched in evil, was finally delivered and freed. A Miracle, a moment and a great story to tell was created in this man's life, who wanted to stay along with Jesus, but our Lord had a different mission for him:

"And when He had stepped into the boat, the man who had been controlled by the unclean spirits kept begging Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus refused to permit him, but said to him, Go home to your own [family and relatives and friends] and bring back word to them of how much the Lord has done for you, and [how He has] had sympathy for you and mercy on you. And he departed and began to publicly proclaim in Decapolis [the region of the ten cities] how much Jesus had done for him, and all the people were astonished and marveled." (Mark 5:18-20 AMP)
ولَمّا دَخَلَ السَّفينَةَ طَلَبَ إليهِ الّذي كانَ مَجنونًا أنْ يكونَ معهُ، فلَمْ يَدَعهُ يَسوعُ، بل قالَ لهُ: «اذهَبْ إلَى بَيتِكَ وإلَى أهلِكَ، وأخبِرهُمْ كمْ صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ بكَ ورَحِمَكَ». فمَضَى وابتَدأَ يُنادي في العَشرِ المُدُنِ كمْ صَنَعَ بهِ يَسوعُ. فتعَجَّبَ الجميعُ. (5 مَرقُسَ:18-20 )

Yes, Our Father longs to see our joy in telling HIS stories in our lives. He is giving you and each one of us SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.. He has filled your days with blessings, encounters and experiences worth telling to your family, friends, and relatives. Your stories will melt His heart same as the stories of Leila and Farida melt mine. Imagine if your kids never talked about the love you gave them and the joy you add to their days! I will surely be grieved with sadness.

He gave you SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT... Don't keep it for yourself...Tell us your story...He asks you for it!

Keep Shining my friends!
