>> When we’re physically unwell, we should learn to not quickly complain and feel like we probably should’ve just ‘died’.
Instead, we should be sensitive towards the strength God still provides for us and make even better use of our time and energy to do God’s work and continue to be a blessing to others.
>> When there’s more than one child in a family, generally there tends to be one who is more lovable than the others. Perhaps the gentler one. The more obedient. The funnier one. The one who gives less hassles.
In such cases however, parents must learn to ‘equally’ love all children.
Children, since very young, ‘know’ when they’re not treated fairly. And when parents show more love towards a particular child and less towards another, family issues (usually at a later stage) will most likely take place.
The ‘less-loved’ child may develop a kind of ‘hatred’ towards self. He may even gradually respect his parents less as he grows up.
Let’s learn to show unconditional love to our children and continually seek out their potentials.
Let’s find the treasures in them. However ‘hidden’ they all are.
