Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival (at the point of writing this). As we celebrate this special time of year, it's a moment to reflect on the importance of family gatherings and the joy they bring. In our busy lives, it's easy to overlook what truly matters, but today is a gentle reminder that family is the cornerstone of our society a sacred space where we find rest, joy, and nurture the next generation in Christ's teachings.
Why Family Matters
The Lord created families for a reason. They provide us with love and support, helping us grow spiritually and emotionally.
However, many of us have become so caught up in our work and daily routines that we've neglected this vital aspect of our lives.
Those who neglected this will one day realize that no amount of money can replace the joy the family can bring.
A Call to Action
Many say they want to spend more time with their children or strengthen their family bonds, so why not start now? Here are a few ways you can begin:
- Family Prayers: Set aside time each day for family prayers. This simple act invites God's presence into your home and strengthens your family's spiritual connection.
- Plan Gatherings: Make it a priority to gather as a family for dinner or activities, especially during special occasions like today. These moments create lasting memories.
- Open Conversations: Engage in meaningful conversations with your loved ones. Ask about their day, their aspirations, or even discuss faith together. Many, especially fathers have forgotten about engaging in meaningful conversations with their children.
Investing Time in Your Family
It requires effort to nurture these relationships, but the rewards are immeasurable. By prioritizing your family life today and every day after, you'll cultivate an environment where everyone can thrive spiritually and emotionally.
This Mid-Autumn Festival offers you an opportunity not just for celebration but also for reconnection. Embrace it fully by making intentional choices that lead you closer to those you love most. If you have already missed it, don’t worry. There are more festivals coming up soon.
Let’s take this journey together towards building stronger families rooted in faith.
Wishing you peace and joy,
David Poh
