People come into your Life for ...

People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.



When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.


Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.


LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.


Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Are We Losing Balance In the Name of Equality?

Why the Youth Must Rethink the Noise Around Marriage, Masculinity, and Modern Liberation When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, even balance begins to look like injustice.  — Rollo May, Existential Psychologist Marriage in India has always been more than a personal choice. It’s a sacred social contract, a cultural cornerstone. Generations grew up believing in it not as blind submission, but as a partnership rooted in trust, sacrifice, and patience. But lately, a powerful wave is shifting that belief especially among young, urban minds consuming content that sells freedom over commitment, individualism over interdependence. One such example is a recent article titled “ Marriage is dying in India, and women are glad it is. ” While it's important to hear different voices, we must pause and ask: Whose truth are we hearing? And what is the cost of believing only one side? Then and Now: What Changed? Traditionally, Indian households operated on clearly defined roles. Men earn...

ESSAY FROM A CHILD

A teacher from Primary School asks her students to write a essay about what they would like God to do for them...At the end of the day while marking the essays, she read one that made her very emotional. Her husband, that had just walked in saw her crying and asked her: - What happened? She answered - Read this essay. It's written by one of my students. "Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me into a television. I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place. And have my family around ME. To be taken seriously when I talk... I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me... And... I want my brothers to fight to be with me... I want to feel that...

Today's Society and Changing Roles of Women

In recent years, the roles of women in families and society have transformed significantly. Education and empowerment have brought immense progress, but this shift has also led to some challenges worth reflecting upon. Rising Divorces:  A Concern Despite many marriages being based on love and mutual understanding, divorces are on the rise. Why? Today's women are often encouraged to focus on careers, sometimes at the expense of learning life skills like managing households or cooking. While financial independence is crucial, the balance between career and family often gets overlooked, leading to conflicts in relationships. Shifting Priorities Earlier, women prioritized nurturing families across generations—caring for in-laws, spouses, and children. However, modern roles often focus on individual growth and career advancement. This isn't inherently wrong, but the diminishing focus on traditional responsibilities sometimes disrupts family harmony. Impact of Career Over...
