9/23–A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. 

On seeing him, the dad yelled:

“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled & said:

“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace” Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,

“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question, ask the nurse!!”

Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Moral – Never judge anyone….. because you never know how their life is and what they’re going through”

Marriage is more than just a commitment—it’s a journey of two people choosing each other every single day. It is built not only on love but also on patience, forgiveness, and understanding.

Strong marriages don’t just happen; they are cultivated. Like a garden, they require consistent care. The little acts of kindness, the willingness to listen, and the choice to put your spouse’s needs above your own can create an atmosphere where love flourishes.

When challenges come—and they always do—remember that marriage isn’t about never facing storms. It’s about holding hands and weathering them together. A rope made of two strands is strong, but when God is the third strand, it becomes unbreakable.

✨ Reflection for Today

Speak more words of encouragement than criticism. Choose forgiveness quickly—it keeps your hearts soft. Celebrate small victories and cherish simple moments together.

💡 Final Thought

Marriage is not about perfection—it’s about perseverance. If you water it with love, guard it with prayer, and nurture it with respect, it will grow into a bond that no storm can break.

Acts 3:1-10. Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

Gratitude changes how we see the world. It shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have, from what’s wrong to what’s right. A grateful heart turns ordinary days into blessings and struggles into opportunities for growth.

When we walk in gratitude, we notice the small things—a smile, a kind word, a breath of fresh air. These reminders help us see that even in difficult seasons, there are reasons to be thankful. Gratitude doesn’t ignore challenges; it gives us strength to face them with hope.

Today, instead of dwelling on what you can’t control, pause and give thanks for what you can. Gratitude invites joy, brings peace, and strengthens your spirit for the journey ahead.

On this September 22, let thankfulness be the lens through which you see your day—it will transform everything.

9/21–Church Signs:

The way YOU WALK & TALK reflects your LOVE for GOD…

OR NOT! Let your LIGHT SHINE!!

 

Story: The Little Boy Who Wanted To Drive The Car ( Brother Hubert)

Scripture:

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Humor: cateract and Chinese man

–9/21–Some people love to get even. Clint Eastwood does it. Rambo did it. On the old television show know as AMOS AND ANDY, Amos was extremely distraught over a guy who kept poking his finger on Amos’ chest every time he spoke to him.

Either too small or too scared to challenge the fellow physically, Amos explained his game plan to Andy in saying, “I’m going to put nitroglycerin on my chest and the next time he pokes at me he will blow his finger off!”

When you try to get even—you get hurt. Relationships are built on the basis of love—which keeps no record of wrongs and forgives!

Life can sometimes feel like shifting sand—situations change, people disappoint, and plans fall apart. But strength comes when we learn to stand firm, rooted in our values and anchored in faith.

Standing firm doesn’t mean you won’t feel the winds of adversity—it means those winds won’t knock you down. When you know who you are and what you believe, you can remain steady even when life is uncertain.

Think of a tree with deep roots. Storms may bend its branches, but it remains unshaken because its foundation runs deep. In the same way, when you hold fast to integrity, hope, and perseverance, you can withstand whatever comes your way.

On this September 21, remind yourself: you are stronger than the storm. Don’t waver, don’t give in—stand firm, and you will see victory.
