I was raised in a big family. I’m the youngest in the brood of 9, but though I’m the youngest, I never been treated as special nor had the feeling of being favored more than the rest of my siblings. It was our parent’s way of fair treatment that nobody of us could pinpoint who’s the favorite one among us. If my mother would be asked who’s her favorite child. She easily retorted, “I treat my children fairly because they all came from me and they are all part of me,” a good piece of wisdom from a beloved mother.
On the other hand, my mother-in-law is so vocal in declaring to her children about her favorite son, a second to the eldest among her seven all boys children. Unfortunately it’s not my husband. Everybody knows even the relatives about her favorite son, oh ye, even the in-laws know it and I just feel sorry for my husband, but he doesn’t mind at all. My husband happens to be the third to the youngest. He would just say, “it’s her choice.” But there is every reason why my mother-in-law had picked the second to the eldest as her favorite. He has brought honor to the family, a consistent honor student, a very dignified man, humble and has mellowed and tender voice, I never see him blowing his temper which is common attitude in other siblings like my husband. But I would say either, that it’s not a valid reason to be impartial in dealing with others much more with your children.
I came to understand that every child that though, they belong to same parents have distinct personality which is unique with each other. Each one has its own gift and talent given from above and it is every duty of the parents to inspire their children, to harness and use the talent for his success with no impartiality dealings and favoritism.
But the favored one will always lost from the parent’s sight as base from my viewpoint with reference to some of the story in the Bible
Rebecca made a way for her favorite son, Jacob to run from his brother, Esau’s anger and sent him to her brother, Laban in far land for his temporary dwelling, From then on Rebecca never see her favorite son again.
Jacob’s favorite son, Joseph was separated from him for almost ten years when he was sold by his envious brothers to be a slave and brought to Egypt.
My brother-in-law, the favorite son likewise has bore a family in distant place where they permanently stayed for more than 25 years and seldom come home to visit his ailing mother.
Do God intentionally remove from somebody the one she adored, to let her suffered the pain and enabled her to let go of the impartiality, obsession, idolatry and favoritism. God wants us to direct our hope and inspiration to His son, Jesus Christ alone. When you chose to give much of your love to your favored child you’re blocking God’s blessing which is intended for other children?
Acts 2:34 34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality
Malachi 2:9 9 “Therefore, I have made you a contemptible in the eyes of all the people, for you have not obeyed Me, but you let your favorite break the law without rebuke.”
Sunday school are non-academic schooling that teaches Bible truths in every ChristianChurches.It is usually held every Sunday morning inside the church. Mostly catering to children from pre-school age to juniors, the teaching hour goes simultaneously with the adult during worship service. The Sunday schools are provided with separate room so they would not destruct the ongoing church service for the adults. Children learned on their own way the basic Bible truths. Teaching them at an early age the custom of worshipping the Savior is something I really miss and pondering on taking the ministry once again.
I have experienced teaching in Sunday School during my college years and I can’t explain the joy of teaching the kids on basic bible truths, story telling about popular Bible stories and letting them learned some creative activities like coloring, drawing and games,
Mark 10:13
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
Mark 10:14
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
When I was creating what the title of my blog should be, it readily came to my mind the word life, since I would be touching topics about Christian life which is a broad subject. Every moment I would think of good title and it took me really one whole day to come up with a nice one, so here is my blog Life Momento, which was my first baby.
Momento is a Spanish word for moment. Also it is momento in Brazil and Italian. I could preferably use moment to be better understood. But Spanish language is my choice to sound more romantic and lovable. Spaniards has been known for their romanticist and since Filipino has Spanish influence, it somehow dig the tinge of romanticism in me.
Since I surrendered my life to Christ, I could feel how the spirit of Lord Jesus Christ have been alive in every momento of my life.
Right now I’m thinking of the name to submit for the women ministry group. Last Sunday all married women were convened by the woman elder of our church and announced about the plan to form Women Ministry group. It’s not new to me anymore, I have been an active member of the women ministry in my former church and there are lots of things to miss about; the fellowship of other Christian women, the camaraderie, the Bible teaching, the activities, the fun and the joy of being in one Spirit encouraging and praying for each other.
The Christian church I’m serving now is on the infancy stage. We have just celebrated our 2nd anniversary last September 7, and there are still many activities on the way. As the number of member grows so is the multitude of responsibilities. Women have been doing an important role in the church. If there is festivity and celebration being held in the church, the women are the busy bodies in the kitchen, table preparation, the attendance and others. Teaching in Sunday School and mothering the children are usually attended by women. Given these vital responsibilities the women should be equipped with wisdom and knowledge of the Biblical truth This is one purpose of forming the Women Ministry. Where women converge to talk about activities their camaraderie and spiritual love for each other are enhanced since they are working together for the common spiritual goal.
