In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

I am sitting at the transit lounge, waiting for my final connection to Spore. The last three days were spent with Jessica in New York. We had a good time together, father-daughter bonding. I am blessed to see how God has blessed our children.  Feeling very tired due to the jet lag and still not able to sleep well. Hopefully all will be well when I get back home. Keeping fit in Manhattan Thanking God for the opportunity to be at Maui and to meet godly saints with great passion and humility.

The tax collectors  and sinners who gathered around Jesus. Jesus the story teller The father The younger son The elder son The servants who obeyed the master's command While most of our concentration seems to be on the wayward younger son, there is much to be learned from the other characters as well. Everyone has a story to tell, and many lessons to be learnt. (Probably you can take it further) My meditations drew me to the older brother and I realized ...
