Show me how to love, like You have loved me.

What have I done? I word vomited everywhere and now there is a stanch of   tension amidst the room. A mess that has affected everyone, and especially the head of the household. Grace has been undeserved and unmerited yet again. And even the aftermath, it was still there lending a hand.

[Deep sigh]

As a family, we have been through many different seasons together and individually to a point that adaptability can be quite taxing in both emotionally and physically.

With being apart for many years now, we are now prone to our very own way of life unlike the years before where we had closer proximity and togetherness. Weekday nights were family dinners and Sundays were strictly for prayers and worship.

But with living at different countries, we developed our own lifestyle where when we are reunited, it collides. They say separation makes the heart grow fonder. I say, it creates a hole amongst relationships as everyone has set up their personal routine without the disturbance of others.

Honestly, sorry to be selfish but I'm really really tired and I know I am not alone at this. I realize that dealing with it as a family creates support and unity instead of trying it on our own. It is time to readjust our comforts to others and not of our lives. We not only please the people around us but God as well. 

"Show me how to love like You have loved me.."

WE NEED YOU GOD, MORE THAN EVER.
WE'RE TIRED AND SICK OF IT ALL.
GIVE US SOMETHING TO HOPE FOR AND LEAN ON.
FOR YOU REIGN IN POWER AND LOVE
