A Prayer for Love

 In this month of February, let us spread some love and not the virus. 

As we celebrate our family anniversary, we pray for each other.

Loving God,

You are Love for God is love,

Who have taught each one of us to love one another even our enemies,

Shower us with your love and care

Through our family members and friends. Amen.

February 2021: The Wedding

 It is not difficult to find stories in the Bible experienced in real life. The wedding in Cana was a memorable story about God's bounty and Joy. But people forget that Cana could just be but a symbolic place. There was nothing special about the place in Cana but it was witness to the first miracle that Jesus performed written in the Bible. 

We would have celebrated our anniversary abroad renewing our vows in symbolic and historic churches. But the quarantine only allowed us to stay within the city. We planned of celebrating in the chapel in Callao Cave but it was close to the public. We ended up renewing our vows in a very symbolic location - under the heavens and with God as our witness.

Callao Cave is a beautiful setting of many weddings. It is witness to the vows of love of couples. Most importantly it is witness to the blessing of God as the center of the relationship. 

Valentines Day

Today is Valentines Day.

I don't usually give flowers to my wife on Valentine's Day but today I felt it is only right to give a bouquet to my lovely wife to show my love to her. I was thinking how she will feel and respond to my acts of love.

I wonder how God also thinks of our reactions to God's act of love? Everyday, we receive showers of blessings from our loving Provider. The hugs and affection from family and friends are acts of love from the Source of love. Yet, we often fail to see that.

This Valentine's Day, let us not look for love. God gives it to us everyday without fail. God brings us flowers everyday to show God's unconditional love. Only, the flowers we receive comes in different shapes and forms.
