Some things had been forgotten until we brought it up. yixin shared about her experience. some of us had our own set of difficulties to face too though it was too easy just saying it. i was afraid i made some things sound too easy. because they really are not. it is so tempting to compare.
i consider myself blessed. blessed to have some difficulties to make me learn how to overcome. blessed to see some fruits, and blessed to be taught perseverance.
this week made me think again about the people i see everyday (most of them).
and how the commandment 'honour thy father and mother' is actually a commandment, and not just a suggestion. and also to love your brother (and sister).
Talking with someone about some things in our childhood brought back even more memories and how things seem to be so different now. some things don't change though. or rather, they have not changed YET. i can only do my part in the family and hope for the best.
the common phrase i keep hearing now is, ' i know it's not your job, but can you help me/do this...?'
and i wonder if there's such a thing as this phrase in the family? should have right?
i was reminded about how many people have gripes and complaints about their parents and how they have been affected by them too. how their parents have changed their lives. how they are who they are today because of their parents.
i am reminded to continuously be merciful and forgiving, and to be thankful, for i have been given a treasure i shall not trade.
