Theme: “Family and holistic development“
Text: Genesis 4:3-7
3. After some time Cain made an offering of the fruits of the ground to the Lord; 4. and Abel, on his part, made him one of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering; 5. but he did not look favorably upon Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy face downcast? 7. Surely, if you do well, you will lift up your face, and if you do badly, sin lies down at the door, and its desires are for you: but you rule over it.
Let's remember:
In holistic family development, there is no room for self-centeredness since the wishful thinking of this concept is to rise together. There is no room for jealousy or selfishness. In holism, the family is considered as a whole and a whole that must not suffer any sprain or alteration of its integrity. The brothers must federate their efforts in order to build a united and strong family. When a member of the family does a pleasant work that gladdens the heart of God, this work must also rejoice the other members of the family because this success must be celebrated in the family. As for the others who missed the mark, they need to work and firm up more to produce the expected results in the near future. The holistic development of a family banishes frustration and hatred; but it encourages humility and love. We must learn to support each other, to accept each other and to promote each action taken by another member of the family in order to consider it as a family heritage that will be the collective pride. To kill your brother is to put an end to holism. Excellent Friday and good start into the weekend. Amen Alain Louz.-
