It’s written that you can not raise your children in the
same way your parents raised you. I ask why? They say because we live in a
different world now. I reply, only because we have allowed that to happen. We don’t
have to give our fourteen-month children a mobile phone to play games on. We
don’t have to ask them what they want to wear when they are getting ready for
nursery. We don’t have to feed them all the way around a shopping centre or
give them everything they grab from the shelves. We don’t have to let them stay
up late because they want to. Gosh, every child will want to stay up. But there
are things on the TV that we should not let our kids see or hear. Parents need
their time. Kids need their sleep today just as they did yesterday. We didn’t
have to allow this to happen.
Sometimes things happen in our lives that are quite
catastrophic. Devastating. Heartbreaking in fact. Some say, I used to be one of
those people who said it, our lives are mapped out for us and things are meant
to happen, but there are sometimes in life when you just can’t make sense of
what happened or is happening. sometimes you live through hell and ten, twenty
thirty years later, you are still unsure why that happened to you? How do we deal
with those situations? How do we talk to ourselves and tell our broken heart
that what we are going through, we will benefit from in the long run? Have I benefited
in my heart ship? I really don’t think so. Have others? I think they have., Other
people have gained in my pain. So, is that why I went through what I did go
through? Well, my maker, thanks for that…
I know of people who say to me, when will it be my turn to
enjoy life. I have no answer sadly. Though I do have faith, it’s dying at a
faster pace than what I would like. I admire those of you who do have a strong
faith. I wonder, those who do, have they had a blessed life?
Reading today I wanted to share these words with you. I hope
you get something out of them. One of my favourite websites is called Lessons
Learned in Life.
To make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t have to be
beautiful, rich, intelligent or perfect, you just have to care.
Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person
mentally mature enough to even grasp the concept.
Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous
enough to chase it.
Stand by the ones who notice the storms in your eyes, the
silence in your voice and the heaviness in your heart!
I hope you have a lovely weekend and a very happy birthday
to Danny.
