I Have Kept The Faith

Today  my father  completed  8  years  in   heaven.
"The course that I was set I have finished, and I have kept the faith. The future for me holds the crown of righteousness which God, the true judge, will give to those who have loved what they have seen of him. "
2 Timothy 4;7,8 (J B Phillips New  Testament)

Here  are  some  old  b/w and  coloured  memories

1950

My  father  loved  the  outdoors.

He  was  a  hunter and 

enjoyed  sports.

Mom & Dad  with  daughters

Amrita  and Anjali

All  5  of  us.

(I am   the  middle  daughter)

Grandpa  enjoying our grapefruit with Mahima

The  family enjoying  the  warm

winter  sun.

(L-R)

 Mahima, Uncle Kenneth, Aunt  Virginia

Amrita, Ashish,Mama, Papa,

Aunt Sybil and  Anjali

My Dad  stood by what  he  believed.

Here  is  a  poem by Patience Strong,

sharing  the  same  sentiments.

If you believe-

Stand boldly by the  things that you profess.

Let  your No be definite,

and let  your yes be yes.

Do not swing between two points.

Be firm in word and deed-

Faith is futile if it does not

work in time of  need...

So give your witness without shame-

and let your life your faith proclaim.
