Looking Back

When growing up I recalled my dad used to say that children are gifts from God. We are ten in my family. Our parents valued their children. They took care of us. Now we are grateful of our parents.

This is something that we can ponder upon. If we have children, love them. Kids have their own stages and so we have to help them grow well by nurturing them.

Children need our patience as parents. As parents we have to have grace to allow them to be themselves. Let them play to enjoy life. If discipline is needed, then teach them.

Our children need their parents to show the right path in life. Teach them with good values. This begins in the home. Be a supportive parent and build up your children so they can learn to have good character.

Above all introduce early on, the value of loving God. Teach them the prayers and to seek God always.

The Season of Life

Life is like a farm.

The farmer has to wait for the time to sow

So, as life we wait patiently for the grace to come as we pray to bless us.

We sow the value of patience

Once the seeds are sown on fertile soil

The plants will grow

And abundantly yield good crops for harvesting

The life we have reflects on what we have sown

As we navigate life, do we have planted good deeds?

Have we looked at ourselves on how we utilize our lives?

Have we value our time while on earth?

Do we enjoy our lives?

Or do we put people around us miserable?

Are we grateful and thankful?

Do we spend valuable time with family?

Do we live with understanding harmony with each other?

Should our actions drawing towards God more and more closer to Him

Or is it leading us away from his divine teachings?

Reflecting how our day to day lives help us

To re-evaluate continuously staying the right path

If we fail, we forgive ourselves

Then start again

Remembering what we sow so as what we harvest
