Lonely Cell

LONELY CELL

Dear friends this article is very useful for senior citizens and those who had retirement and some expect to retire from jobs. Some of them retired from the jobs and others lost their wife or husband and living alone or feeling lonely in the society. Their children settled at America or Australia or any other country. They could not keep their parents with them, because of their job situations or any other reasons. Some time their parents could not cope with other country situations. Some they did not get visa to the new country to live with their son or daughter. In this condition, the older people are push to live alone in the villages. If the older people fell down, no one to help or lift them to hospitalize to look after them.

The son or the daughter informs their relatives or friends to look after their parents those who are sick. But their friends and relatives will inform them only about their death news. The son or daughter will come after two or three days with huge garlands to honor them before the eyes of the villagers. What is the use of honoring their parents after death? While they live they do not want to feed them with tasty food, but death they build a huge cemetery and laying ‘Briyani’ or special food before it. Will they eat that food? Just think of it.

Once a car hit a dog’s leg and it was crying and running towards other side but other dog, heard this cry, came and lick the dog’s injured leg. But the love of the human is decreasing in the internet era. ‘Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your Father and mother” [this is the first commandment with a promise], “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land”. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Parents must spent time with the children to play and have talked with them. Instead of this they push their children into tuition in morning and evening to score high marks to get good job in the future. So the children live in the home only on resting hours. The children grow in these situations; they lack the love of their parents and live mechanical life and forget to honor their parents while they are in the old ages. This lack of love brings the lonely cell. Listen to your father who gave life, and do not despise your mother, when she is old.[PROVERBS 23:22]

"Once I came out of the church after the service over, an old business man was waiting to meet me. He shared about his family matters and he said that all the children were married and settled in various places but now I am living alone. No one to look after me while I am sick, sir I am feeling lonely in my home. I am put up in the lonely cell." 

Many people live in the lonely islands. Many children live separate home after their marriage and they feel that if their parents live with them will be burden. So they ready to send money for them but they don’t like to look after them in the old ages.

People who retires from jobs, once they were busy with jobs and other family matters but now they are left alone in the house as lonely cell. Helps need in the old age than young stage.

After the burial service an old man of 92 years old was crying and saying please bury me with my wife. That was the love for his wife and now he left alone and no one to look after him. The love for his wife how deep it rooted. I realized the fact of true love. “Love never claims it ever gives; Love never suffers, never resents, and never revenges itself”. This is the quotes from Mahatma Gandhiji.

Retired peoples can engage their life in useful ways, instead of feeling lonely. Retired teachers can help poor children by teaching them. Other officers can engage in the voluntary services, and ministries and other church activities. In the home they can do gardening and any other things to engage to become active and forget the loneliness. We can spend time with the lord in prayers and bible readings.

In Australia eighty years old lady left alone in the home and her house was near the college and every day she used to call the young boys and girls who were going to the college to help her to read bible portions. And they will read for her and she will explain the portions and led them to know Jesus Christ and accept him as their personal savior. One day there was a great youngster crowed in that old lady’s house weeping and wailing. What happened she died but she led more than 2000 students to Christ? She never felt lonely cell. If Christ with us we can make use of our life and change lonely into heavenly abode.
