Lot's Wife

 

 GENESIS 19:23-26

23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah —from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

 Here is a beautiful poem depicting the consequences of crucial choices or decisions we sometimes make in our lives under most demanding situations.Lot's wife despite the escape from the horrendous situations and the repeated warnings from the angels, could not stand looking back, she was not bound for the unknown future that God had kept for her family, after this great escape,perhaps she was the reason in convincing Lot in settling at Sodom and Gommorah in the first place.

I find myself sometimes like her, knowing fully well the dangers iam attracted to look back, how many times , i find myself being chastened by the inner quiet voice of the Holy Spirit, the situation may not be this crucial as in above story, but in day to day life , the choices we make, are the ones having the rippling effect on the far greater consequential choice.

Lot's Wife

                 

by Anna Akhmatova

translated by Max Hayward and Stanley Kunitz

And the just man trailed God's shining agent,

over a black mountain, in his giant track,

while a restless voice kept harrying his woman:

"It's not too late, you can still look back

at the red towers of your native Sodom,

the square where once you sang, the spinning-shed,

at the empty windows set in the tall house

where sons and daughters blessed your marriage-bed."

A single glance: a sudden dart of pain

stitching her eyes before she made a sound . . .

Her body flaked into transparent salt,

and her swift legs rooted to the ground.

Who will grieve for this woman? Does she not seem

too insignificant for our concern?

Yet in my heart I never will deny her,

who suffered death because she chose to turn.

Poem from- http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15867

amazing LOVE

I forget your role  in my life,
i shy away sometimes from telling them,
i move away from reflecting upon your love,
time again i hurt you,
time and again i yearn for love,
when you are so close to me,
yet i fail to feel you,
but kow deep down,
your arms are always there for me,

dear Lord,
your love is so powerful that,
even when i move away , it follows me.

simple steps bring bundle of joys

a kind word
a simple smile
a laughter from the heart
 a cheerful remark
a timely appreciation
a warm hug
a helping hand
 a listening ear
a patient attitude
works wonders
both to the giver and
the reciever.

When my time is not yours, my LORD,

When my time is not yours, my LORD,
oh what a struggle it is,
i find myself , twisting and tossing,
i find myself looking up, 
with hands folded in prayer,
i also find myself pacing restlessly,
up and down ,
my heart suggests several ways,
some i accept and some i decline,
but yet LORD, i find myself waiting,
for the help has to come from you,
deep inside i know, you care,
and in your silence too, there is a purpose unfolding,
a purpose tp bless me more,
a purpose to draw me nearer to thee,
i know your delays are not denials,
yet i long that my hours of waiting end,
and i rejoice to praise you for the favour done.

life's ways are strange

Too much thinking is not good,
it doesn't change life's course,
life's ways are strange,
they don't unfold as we think, or speculate,
sometimes life's surprises brings joy,
sometimes it is devastating,
all i need LORD is your GRACE and MERCY,
each hour and each minute,
to trust in you,
and rely on your strength, for life's rough ways.

(Habakkuk 2:1) waiting is so tough LORD

 “I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint” (Habakkuk 2:1)

i  have put forth my requets before HIM.
i need HIS guidance,
so i would like to wait,
i know HE cares,
but i also know HIS answers are sometimes silence,
for YOU LORD, know the right time,
iam but a fragile person wanting to take the best counsel,
so i wait and as i wait i don,t want to grumble,
but i would rather praise for YOUR multitudes of  goodness ,
in my life,
so i wait LORD, for YOU.

Innumerable times has the Lord watched over me, Ps 121:7

THE LORD WILL KEEP YOU ( AND THE DEAR ONES TOO ) FROM ALL HARM-
AND HE WILL WATCH OVER YOUR LIFE.
Ps.121:7

Innumerable times has the Lord watched over me,
He shielded me from fiery darts and arrows flying at me
He protected me and the near ones and the dear ones
from deadly pestilence,
how comforting that i flee to Him and call upon Him,
every time i sense danger around,
He is my Fortress and Refuge,
the very first and the very present help,
and how amazing that He watches over me even iam unaware,
from hidden snares and pitfalls,
Surely You LORD are my protector and shield.

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,

 Lord, when i feel all my strength is lost, when my mind is simply not tuned into coming to you, when i feel iam being pulled into a suction, and i feel people around don't care, when iam helpless in changing the way i think, when all things look shaky and fear comes knocking now and then at my minds door, let me remind myself that...
Thy Grace is Sufficeint for Me.

For LORD , you know me in and out, and my thoughts are laid bare before you , even before they strike my mind.
So in my uncomprehension about you , i would like to loose the comprehension   of my situation, and know that the Sovereign Lord knows to meet my every need.



He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercies,
To multiplied trials His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father's full giving is only begun.

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.

--Annie Johnson Flint

Tarde te amé- San Agustín

Tarde te amé-
  San Agustín

Tarde te amé
O la belleza cada antigua y tan nueva!
Tarde te amé
Y he aquí,
Tú estabas dentro y yo fuera,
y sin que usted busca.
Y deforme que corrió detrás de estas formas
de la belleza que ha hecho.

Tú estabas conmigo
Y yo no estaba contigo.
Esas cosas me detuvo de ti,
cosas que sólo se
iba a ser en ti.

Usted llama, usted gritó;
y rompiste mi sordera.
Que brilló, usted brilló;
y ahuyentaron a mi ceguera.
Que se convirtió en fragante;
y aspiré y suspiré por ti.

probé
y ahora tienen hambre y sed
para usted.

Usted me ha tocado;
y quemado por su abrazo.

~ San agustín

Evergreen Dev Anand

One of my favourite actors is Dev Anand, i just adore him for his looks, hair, his style, above all his charm.

I read from an interview given by Waheeda Rehman that he was also a wonderful human being.He helped ease of the tension between her and director Raj Khosla at the making of the film C.I.D.He kept his promise of giving her a leading role in his movie, by offering her the lead role in the cult film GUIDE. He also kept his promise to the then budding assistant director Guru Dutt, his production house's debut film.Dev Anand became good friends with Guru Dutt at the sets of his first movie .His production house Navkrtan produced many hit films.His movies had flamboyant music and lyrics.He will remain an evergreen star in the minds of people.One of his life motto was to go ahead in life and forget the past as he sings in his famous movie HUM DONO--Mein Zindagi Ka Sath Nibatha Chala Gaya.
His quote-"
Dreams should never die. When the dreams are dead, you are dead. After fulfilling every dream, I realize there is a new dream that dawns. I used to dream about the Hollywood people...my inspiration is Hollywood in 1950s."

..............searching the lives of saints and sisters

There are times in life, when i feel like searching the lives of saints and sisters, reading their views, their struggles, joys and how they approached God when faced with turmoil, doubt or how conscious they were to sufferings of humanity and the efforts they made to lessen or alleviate them but some times the lives of ordinary people living ordinary lives, with its struggles and joys  pull me.I am impressed by people who think about others, as to what they say, do and think can have effect on others but they are few , in  the ocean of million others who are so occupied with their own lives that they scarcely realize how their ignorance and empathy to others takes away the smile from others lives.
Throwing garbage on the open, not helping an elderly , a cold look, a hurtful remark  can snatch a moments joy from  someone else life. 
It needs effort and a conscious attempt, to be aware of others around.It also depends on ones upbringing.Just as looking good and losing weight requires effort, a sympathetic attitude needs cultivation, more acquired by watching the peers around.
Live a life of fragrance and spread fragrance around to others too whenever possible
Do to others as you would want others to unto you.

In the hands of God-Teresa of Avila

I am Yours and born of You,
What do You want of me?

Majestic Sovereign,
Unending wisdom,
Kindness pleasing to my soul;
God sublime, one Being Good,
Behold this one so vile.
Singing of her love to you:
What do You want of me?

Yours, you made me,
Yours, you saved me,
Yours, you endured me,
Yours, you called me,
Yours, you awaited me,
Yours, I did not stray.
What do You want of me?

Good Lord, what do you want of me,
What is this wretch to do?
What work is this,
This sinful slave, to do?
Look at me, Sweet Love,
Sweet Love, look at me,
What do You want of me?

In Your hand
I place my heart,
Body, life and soul,
Deep feelings and affections mine,
Spouse -- Redeemer sweet,
Myself offered now to you,
What do You want of me?

Give me death, give me life,
Health or sickness,
Honor or shame,
War or swelling peace,
Weakness or full strength,
Yes, to these I say,
What do You want of me?

Give me wealth or want,
Delight or distress,
Happiness or gloominess,
Heaven or hell,
Sweet life, sun unveiled,
To you I give all.
What do You want of me?

Give me, if You will, prayer;
Or let me know dryness,
And abundance of devotion,
Or if not, then barrenness.
In you alone, Sovereign Majesty,
I find my peace,
What do You want of me?

Give me then wisdom.
Or for love, ignorance,
Years of abundance,
Or hunger and famine.
Darkness or sunlight,
Move me here or there:
What do You want of me?

If You want me to rest,
I desire it for love;
If to labor,
I will die working:
Sweet Love say
Where, how and when.
What do You want of me?

Calvary or Tabor give me,
Desert or fruitful land;
As Job in suffering
Or John at Your breast;
Barren or fruited vine,
Whatever be Your will:
What do You want of me?

Be I Joseph chained
Or as Egypt's governor,
David pained
Or exalted high,
Jonas drowned,
Or Jonas freed:
What do You want of me?

Silent or speaking,
Fruitbearing or barren,
My wounds shown by the Law,
Rejoicing in the tender Gospel;
Sorrowing or exulting,
You alone live in me:
What do You want of me?

Yours I am, for You I was born:
What do You want of me?

Santa Teresa de Ávila-Vamos a problemas nada de lo que

Vamos a problemas nada de lo que

Que nada te problemas.

No dejes que nada te asuste.

Todo es efímero.

Sólo Dios es inmutable.

paciencia

Todo lo que obtiene.

¿Quién posee a Dios

Nada quiere.

Sólo Dios basta.
