This morning Yoowan asked me P60.00 to replace the ruler of his classamate Luke which He broke accidentally. One of the lessons I would like to impart on my kids is to be a good steward. Being a good steward for me aside from knowing how to take care of a thing also means learning to be accountable. So I told Yoowan It's alright, we would relpace it.
I went home late last night so when my kids were conversing this morning i was quite half awake. I do not know why their conversation reached this topic - About being poor. Maybe because whenever they would ask for something I would tell them to be patient and wait and save money because we are not rich. I always tell them Mother and Papa have to work hard first. I believed this way they would also learn the value of hard work and money.
What amazed me this morning is when Ate Lexia told Yoowan not to worry even if we are poor. She said to her brother " It's alright YOOWAN we are rich in LOVE".
I was just thinking yesterday about what the pastor shared last Sunday on sibling rivalry. It touched my soul. More than inheritance ( in the form of wealth, money, insurances, etc..) the greatest inheritance we can leave our children is LOVE. One day when our time machine stops ticking our children would be left on their own. Yes... we are RICH in LOVE. I could not contain it. I just want to share what Lexia told to her brother.. WE ARE RICH IN LOVE.
Upward Gaze:
Lord, I thank you for the gift of LOVE. I pray for my kids to continue loving each other. I also pray for all the parents to love their children equally to avoid sibling rivalry. In Jesus Name. Amen.
wow, this is so nice ate.. I agree with Lexia.. never mind if we dont have all the material things in the world as long as we're rich in LOVE.. we have families & friends around who showered us with so much love...
ReplyDeleteThank you Ging. I wanted her to say the words again but i heard it really right RICH IN LOVE. Agree with her too. Sana lang when they grow up they will continue to love each other. Sibling rivalry if it explodes will not only bring pain but lifetime guilt. Salamat sa time pagbasa Ging. Looking forward to your next post. God's design for your life is to see the world. Truly God's Grace. Kaya Perfect gyud yang Graceful Travel mo.
DeleteOh, so touching and sweet of Lexia to say this to her brother: "It's alright YOOWAN we are rich in LOVE".

ReplyDeleteMany thanks Ng. Time does fly so fast.. It was like only yesterday when Lexia was less than two years old and we were at MTS.. She was playing soccer and we had halo-halo. Your last vacation was so memorable. The kids enjoyed wave pool with their Papa.. agaw gayud i dungog mo yang iyak ni Juan na abot gaw Panorama.. . (LOL). Thank you Ng for that treat. It would stay in our hearts forever. Thanks for your generosity.Love you!
