Megan spoke in English while I translated her message into Hindi.
Me, Sonia, Ashish and Abner
We bid goodbye to Ash and Megan last night - they left for Delhi and Agra ( to see the Taj Mahal)
They will fly back to Canada on Tues morning.
We are missing them terribly.
Today is my Dad 's 7th death anniversary.
I want to share a page out of the devotional
Experiencing God by Henry and Richard Blackaby

Sowing Seeds of Righteousness
But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. (Proverbs 11:18b)
There are many ways to invest our lives, but none offers greater reward than devoting ourselves to the pursuit of righteousness. Every area of our lives should reflect the holiness of God that is ours by salvation: our thoughts, so that nothing we think about would be inappropriate for a child of God; our actions, so that our lives demonstrate that we serve a holy God; our integrity, so that we are above reproach in all our relationships.
Are you taking God’s righteousness in your life for granted? Righteousness is something you must allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life. Instead of sowing holy thoughts, are you allowing evil and sinful thoughts to grow in your mind? Are you allowing lust to grow unchecked within you? Does enmity, bitterness, jealousy, or unforgiveness remain in your life? Jesus said if we seek first God and His righteousness, everything else will follow (Matt. 6:33). There is great reward in sowing righteousness. What_are you presently doing to plant holiness in your life?_(1 Pet. 1:15). How are you putting righteousness in your mind so that your thoughts are holy? How are you cultivating righteousness in your relationships so that you maintain your integrity? Are you instilling righteousness in your activities so that your life is above reproach? If you want to harvest righteousness in your life tomorrow, you must plant seeds of righteousness today

What a thought provoking post for this Sunday morning.

Dear Flower lady, the questions at the end made me search my heart too. I determined in my heart to seek God 's rightousness and His kingdom.
Dear Amrita,
Even as he goes, our father, we remain in His loving care, all the more.
A beautiful post; needs me to do a lot of soul searching. A hard path, righteousness to lead, only as long as we are far from Him, in our thoughts.
Thank you Amrita. Your blog always inspires...

Dear Amrita,
What beautiful pictures from your church.
You are looking younger and more sophisticated than ever.
I can see that you had a good time while having your guests.
That is so well deserved. You have worked hard and made lots of preparations to make this visit become a success.
Thanks to our Lord who did bless your work so greatly.
From Felisol
Your post is a wellspring of inspiration for tired souls. What Megan says is so true. We must make Jesus the focal point of everything in our life. And we must also plant seeds of righteousness in our lives so that we will also harvest righteousness for our soul. Thanks for the inspired post. God bless you always.
