What is life about? Part 2

As I ponder why most parents have this instinct of providing the best for their young I am reminded of a passage in bible.....where we are called to be the light of the world.

Matt 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden."

To instinctively give the best to others and deny oneself is a characteristic of being a light. Only by burning itself up will a light give "light" to others and bring much use to others.

Parents = Light of a person's life?

Very much so I believe.

Remember your first fall and injury on the knee.....mom & dad was there to blow the wound and pick me up.

Remember your first day at school.....mom & dad was there to watch from the window.

As we grow up we remember even more.....the wrong things

remember how mom & dad forbids us from staying up to watch TV.....only if we knew their noble intentions.

remember how mom & dad always force us to study.....only if we knew their heartaches if we wasted our potential.

remember how mom & dad didn't buy that pair of NIKE shoes.....only if we knew how hard they worked to put food on the table.

remember how mom & dad didn't give us enough pocket money.....only if we knew how much they are thinking about our college fees.

Remember or remember.....if only we know.....
