Just wondering sometimes why I treat earthly father differently. Eg we pay to church every month 10% of our salary.. & give to our father how much???

That’s why sometimes I will tell God , this round I pay to my earthly father more & to church less huh…..

May be you will say my faith is not strong enough, but.. lot of but…..

& love God (God 1st……. ) …. How about our earthly father…. Ya bible does teach us to love our father (I don’t argue on that)

After father stay here with me overnight over the week end, give me lot of feeling….. I told father no need work anymore (after roughly 60 years of working), every month we give you little $$ to live… he says he will consider (because every night he eat pill to sleep……) then I ask him how can he sleep & no need take pill.. he answer ok, unless he didn’t work…. Then it make me ponder…

Just a sharing to you all, hope God reveal me more…..

GOD BLESS
Christine

Hope that God is making everything beautiful in His time. God knows what is the best for our parents, our churches, our family, our brothers sisters. we shall give to the church with a cheerful heart for the extension of God's kingdom. we shall also give to support our parents with a pleasing heart.

Our 4th brother has decided to sell his bangalow. that could ease the 'stress' of our parents. I get to know from father that he acts as guarantor for a borrowing by 4th-brother for about 50k. for sure as a guarantor - there is some stress! last week I also lent to 4th-brother a few thousand (cash that I have enough), hope that will ease his financial problem.

We shall pray for our 4th-brother too - for his smooth 'transition' to stay back to a 'smaller' house. and hope that there will be a good sell price that he can obtain for the sale of his bangalow, so to settle his many debts and borrowing and ease everyone trouble and worry especially our parents.

Our 2nd-brother seem getting better now , praise and thanks to the Lord.

We shall continue to uphold 3rd-brother, who is also our brother in Christ, that God will use him to shine fore his glory in our family. we shall renounce any accuse/gossip against him; and pray that the blood of the Lamb cover and protect him.

Let's continue to put our trust in God.

God Bless.

May all glory be to our Lord Jesus Christ and unto our Father in heaven and the Holy Spirit. amen!
