Hey everyone! How are you all? Hope you all are doing fine and well. Hope you all have settled in for the new year. Those resolutions are on line and being completed everyday. If not, it's okay neither are mine. That's how it is, so this year I had no resolutions.
Anyways, I was once asked that do I have faith? Very surprised by the question but at the same time confused me asked them βfaith in what ?β. Of course they had to ask that do I have faith in God. Well how should I put it. To be honest I have never given a thought to that. Most of my life I have just followed all the traditions and rituals because it feels good, and that's what is expected of us. But now that I am old enough to understand stuff at so many levels I can say that yes I have faith in God, My god. Well I have faith in my mother's faith. It's difficult to explain but whatever faith I have today is all thanks to my mother. She is the one I have faith in. I do have it for my father but he is not very religious not that mother is. Her faith is pure I believe she won't do anything extra, she just prays and believes and works hard. That's it. And i think that is how it is and should be.
She never asked anyone of us to follow her, or look at her when she prayed or worshipped. There was this difficult situation in my life which I wanted to get out from such a long time and the only thing I could think was asking God what I wanted and you know what I got it. No it isn't any gift it's just peace. Till now I have only thanked God for what I have, for what they have given me. But that was the first time I asked for something and it happened I don't know whether it is coincidence or not but from that day onwards I have been asking them and they have been giving.
There are so many family trips that we have taken and let me tell you I belong to that family which has to visit a temple in all those vacations, not just one I mean for them it's the more the merrier. But I do not regret it, I love it I love being there and experiencing people. People of faith, belief and peace.
Thankyou πΌ
