Nowadays, most of our reading is in private - as a family, I find that we build bridges of communication and "heart-bonding" when we share with one another what we are reading. Here's the principle : what we read, we think about - it is when we have the opportunity to share with another person what's on our minds that we are able to discern between truth and error, reality and fantasy. My two daughters are avid readers, it is my role to help them go beyond that and facilitate their thinking process so that what is read goes through the filter of values, beliefs and convictions before it is deposited into the worldview of their hearts.
"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom" - Psalms 90:12 (KJV). Life is such that with the passing of each day, I have less to do more with this one life which God has graciously granted me. This blog is my attempt to journal the memories of what makes my life journey worthwhile under the sun, to enjoy the simple pleasures of life in the light of a greater eternity ahead.
