Parents

Actually i have another blog that i use as a diary to write down my experience and archive them. They are my reflections about things that happen to me. I''m a thinker for those who knows me. I think alot, many a times forgetting what i think about unless i write them down. I like journalling down my experiences, especially those that we remember so well and affect us so much. A good way to bring in what the word says into application. Here is one post from there, hope it touches you....


Last night my dad told me off(i don't want to use scold as its not really a kind of scolding) that i don't care about the house because my shoe brought in some sand and i don't bother to clean it up. In my heart when he say this to me, i know that this sentence and this impression has been a recurring one since young.

Many a times we are being wrongly and sometimes harshly accused, of the things that we do wrong and also the things that we didn't do. Dad likes to say that we don't care of things around. But the matter of fact is that when we are young we are young. Innocent and sloppy, children who are still searching and developing their sense of responsiblity at home. Its true we need to take more responsibility. Its true that we need to show more that we care. But, sometimes its not that we don't care, but we don't know exactly how to do it and also that we do not know that we need to do this. Below is a prose to bring my feelings and thoughts out.


After i sweep the floor, you came over the manage to sweep another pile up
you said i didn't put in my best
I did
That is my best, i need someone to teach me how to do it better
Not to repremiand me for not doing my best

After i clean the table and wash the dishes, you don't find it to be clean enough
you said i anyhow do things
I didn't
I didn't know what is the best way to do it and clean it, i need someone to show me how
Not just judge me for what is wrong.

the times that you think that i didn't do my best, you think that i don't care
you said, "If you do things this way might as well you don't do it."
I tried
I really tried
Fine! Then i don't do it!
I need someone to teach me, show me, guide me along, correct me by telling me what's wrong, not how wrong and how bad i am.


manz, sometimes in life we really respond badly to things. We rebel to our parents because they don't show the best way to deal with us. But we can't blame them fully, especially people like us who have a perfect and all loving heavenly father who understands us, who won't judge us unjustly. He brings people into our lives to help us grow and mature. He is patient with us, no matter how many times we fail, he will give us another chance and send even more people to guide us along.

We cannot respond badly or blame our parents, we have to love them and try all we can to learn from our Godly examples and change with obedience to the word.
