LAW ABIDING CITIZENS X LAW BREAKING CITIZENS

From the desk of Mrs. Baby Abraham . . . . . .



               
 LAW ABIDING CITIZENS
                      X
LAW BREAKING CITIZENS

1.  There are millions of people in our country and all over the world who may not know the number of the clause of certain rules  concerning business transactions,   marriage , adultery, schooling privilege,  heath insurance schemes etc . But they may be “ law abiding citizens “ because they do not provoke others by their behavior and dealings. There are millions who know specifically the number of the clause which deals with the various aspects of public life but may not be abiding by them.  We consider all rules of constitution virtuous and honourable and well meaning for the welfare of the citizens .
2.  Do we honour all the virtuous rules and regulations ?If we break the honorable rules indiscriminately, we may as well break the dishonouable rules  which will destroy our families and marriage relationships . We must take into consideration the well being of our future generation .  We  are so conscious of the pollution of land, water, air and our neighbourhood and do everything to make them clean and pristine. We make our personal life, family life, social life and national life clean and pristine. Never do anything that will mar or adulterate it . The very existence of the nation depends on the wellbeing of family, the basic unit .If that  strong foundations disintegrate, we will have a chaotic nation. Who will take care of neglected children, men and women, old and young . With all protection our society is struggling to keep the nation in good condition.
3.  Allowing goodness does not satisfy people. So they break it. If dishonorable relationship and behavior are legalized, will they dishonor them and keep to the virtuous path. The urge to do the opposite sometimes overpower the people !! Therefore is it a “ test “ for the integrity of men and women . Are we trying to prove that with or without law we can have self restraint and be true to our families .
4.  One day we hand out death penalty to miscreants. Next day we honour them by legalizing those very same activities. People will be confused. They may altogether refrain from it .
5 .   Other countries also will be baffled by this new rule because all over the world and among all religions ,  adultery is considered an immoral behavior . Wherever it was prevalent, they have abandoned that practice. In some countries they are lending out prisons for other countries because all prisons are empty there . Nobody is committing any crime in those countries .
6.  All laws by the government is for the betterment of family and society .
7.  Will the tears of men and women, mothers and fathers and children will flow in our sacred land .
8.  If the families break, we know what happens in shelter homes, orphanages and senior citizens welfare homes. Therefore let us keep our family safe and secure for all family members .
 9. Any encroachment upon family is destroying the very foundation of the nations . Let no pollutants malign this sacred institution of family .

“ Somebody touched Me for I perceived power going out from Me “ Luke 8 :46

From the desk of Mrs. Baby Abraham . . . . . .



“  Somebody touched Me for  I perceived 
power  going out  from Me “
Luke 8 :46

We have all experienced the power of “ touch “ .
The power of “ touch “ is determined by the attitude and concern or motive of the one who touch and the one who is being touched.
       How a  child stop crying when the mother carry that child.  This affectionate touch is experienced by both the mother and the child  .
How we scream when some stranger try to touch us .
When an  itchy worm or itchy plant leaf touch you, we know the result . How the aftermath of that touch irritate us and we have to take anti allergic medicine to stop the repercussions of that itchy touch . How much more the itchy touches and “ looks  “ trouble us for extremely strong durations and can even wreck our lives .  The  stare and the touch which make us repulse .  In the normal behaviour , there is perfect smooth running of society.  Any thing abnormal produces abnormal consequences  and diseases . The young girls who underwent this unholy treatment in shelter homes and other places where parents felt  secure that their children are safe , point the accusing finger to the responsible citizens of all countries.
The comforting touch and embrace of a dear friend takes away the pain and frustration where as the same from a stranger make us retaliate with our full  protective sense of armour to save ourselves from unwanted situations .  These unethical behaviour usually happens in public places but if it happens in churches and sacred holy pilgrimage places , it is the ultimate wickedness . Then where is sacredness, where is sanctity .  Is there any difference between sacredness and adultery ? How the splitting of the word into spelling   has deteriorated our sense of wholesomeness. Our ancient wisdom advocated to look beyond the mundane to the meanings which lies behind the outward rituals, now we do not even respect the outward ritual, we are desecrating our very lives. Someone who is determined to destroy family and country put forward this theory of meaningless relationship. The foundational   meaning, motive, inspiration , which  holds the family unit that  they can be building block to a healthy nation .Once family disintegrate, children are orphaned, after each separation, more and more children are orphaned and finally it will be a country of unwanted, neglected orphans. W  ho can be proud of such a nation where irresponsible  men and women roam about without any purpose or motivation or moral standard.  Can we provide healing touch, encouraging touch, comforting touch, which will generate pride and magnificence in their mind about themselves not the feeling of being trampled upon by the unwanted touches .
 “ When I consider Your heavens ,
and the work of Your fingers
the moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him,
           For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have  crowned him with glory and honor .
You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands
You have put all things under his feet.
But now we are struggling to keep our huge heritage. We cannot manage so vast resources and when we use it we produce more effluences than the original pristine matter. We have drained all bountiful rivers and lakes and  water bodies are polluted . How can we call it true stewardship.  What happens to boys and girls who are admitted to government as well as private schools in the full confidence of the teachers and the management.
What happens when we marry our girls to families in the full trust that she will consider them as her family and that they will consider her as their family member . In north India and south India , if we make a survey, what will be the result. Is it because of lack of money  ? Is it because of lack if education ? Is it because lack of  hereditary lineage. How we touch the lives of billions of people in public places as well as at  home. Does our power, mentally, physically, psychologically,  financially,  touch all lives wisely with concern and care . Do we honor and value the eternal breath of the Eternal Spirit of God and the body as the Temple in which the SPIRIT of Eternal God inhabit  and dwells and empower us and lead us every minute of our life. Once that Spirit of God leave our body, we are nothing. Do we respect the God indwelling in us  and the temple of our body. How much care we take for the God made of clay, stone and wood and the Temples in which we worship them and we call ourselves as Siva, Ganesha,  Vishnu, Saraswati,  Lakshmi , Ganga, Mary, Elizabeth, or Rachel, Rebecca, Jacob, Abraham, Daniel , Hanna  etc . If only we could understand our own divine nature , no wickedness would ever happen in our country . Who do the people think they are  ? They have the qualities of their God / Goddess . So behave likewise . Be aware that we are crowned with glory and honor.  Never let anyone take it away from you .  We have the power to heal, the power to comfort, the power to save others in their difficult situations, power to empower them spiritually, emotionally , mentally and intellectually. Let us use our resources for that purpose .  No wicked behavior will be ever seen.

                      

        

“ WHEN THE FOUNDATIONS ARE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO . “ Psalm 11 :3

From the desk of Mrs. Baby Abraham . . . . . .



   WHEN THE FOUNDATIONS ARE DESTROYED,
WHAT  CAN  THE RIGHTEOUS DO . “  Psalm 11 :3

              Without firm foundation, can  anything stand upright.
The strength of our back bone and the legs hold us upright. Any weakness, we will be lame or  hunched over, bent and slanting , swinging from side to side , never upright. The same is applicable to buildings, relationships, family life, condition of government or society, or nation .
Therefore the foundational principles, the Preamble, the Constitution, the Laws and Regulations of the country and family should never give way to temporary modifications to tide over or for  personal benefits  , especially at the leadership level upon whom the whole population lay their trust  and stability.  Any weakness will be exploited immediately by those who are bent upon taking advantage of those situations.
           The righteous will try to maintain their righteousness and justice  based on the foundational values. When  evil powers demonstrate their might, how the police sometimes become helpless, some times they take side with them, sometimes, shooting and death and damage to property and lives occur. How careful and watchful should the leadership be. The leadership of  the terrorists group and the leadership of the righteous  , who is better equipped, who search out the details for ensuring righteousness and justice and peace or to implement terror !! How is the efficiency on either side. Who empowers them . If only all join together for the betterment of family, society and country ! It can be easily done. We all know the basic foundational simple necessary things. If only we will concentrate on that . Do we have the enthusiasm and the urgency of the founding fathers, the thrill of the first day of freedom for the country , the elate spirit of listening to the National Anthem for the first time in  free India. Keep that state of elation of free India, we can tide over can y adversity .

FISHERS OF MEN

From the desk of Mrs. Baby Abraham . . . . . .


   
FISHERS OF MEN

Mark  1:17     Then Jesus said to them,
I will make you become fishers of men .

In the recent flood havoc in Kerala and in all  places where there are
Floods, land slides, fire, cyclone, earth quake etc there are  a lot of people who saved people even at the risk of their  own lives. We consider them truly brave  saviours of life.  Any one who save people from danger can be called fishers of men. There are people who endanger the lives of others  even while preaching saving others in every way . There are people who commit murder and atrocities. But all who save lives of people are fishers of men. If we save people from wicked habits, and characteristics and qualities which are contrary to the accepted mode of behaviour in society, which is against the harmonious virtuous living of men, women, girls and boys, they are also fishers of men. All teachers who guide their children in proper ways , are fishers of men. They mould those children’s character and virtues , thereby they are moulding the character of thousand of people whom they may not even see in their life, people of different countries when these children move to foreign lands,. The impact is so much that once you become fishers of men , the whole nation and countries will taste the benefit of it. The  world  will be full of virtuous people. No body will say to another , do the correct thing. All will be used to only virtuous things !! How our behaviour impact other’s lives , knowingly or unknowingly is worth studying and beyond imagination . We can all become fishers of men . The least we can do is :
Do not harm anyone .
That saves their lives and life of all their family members.
