Unforeseen Love

It was already 12am, and I just came back from "mamak" with my cell group friends. I sort of realized that I was already kinda far away from God as just now I forgot some of the Bible knowledge when we played a game involving Bible quizzes. Time to read the bible all over again.

So I came home and I watched some show on the tube due to excessive boredom, and part of the show made me realize that a mother's love can go unappreciated sometimes. There was this family, with the father working in America for years and having a wife and 1 child. Little did the wife know that when she and her child went to America, her husband vanished into thin air, leaving behind huge debts for the wife to clear.

Ass.

So the wife has no choice but to go back to Hong Kong and live a very economical life, and worse, having to bear with the sudden change of her son due to the loss of the father. For the sake of the child's welfare, the mother has to change herself so much that she has to look for work everywhere just to support herself and her child, but sad to say, she could just see her son going from bad to worse. Beating his school friends and causing havoc are heartbreaking enough, let alone knowing your own son hates you no matter how much you sacrificed for him.

It is understandable as the child is only in primary, but I'm really sad to see that he still loves his father even though the father's disappearance has nothing to do with the mother.

Sigh.

That's why suddenly I have a thought that parental love is the greatest thing you can have on earth. No hiding of facts, but an infant is like everything to them, and from then on, all they do is make sure their child will grow up to what they hope to be - a useful person.

The best thing is, they do not ask for any repayments.

How good is that? To think that so many times we take things for granted and never honour our parents, as they support us all the way withstanding our occasional complaints. They work for every single penny to support our every needs, and how hurtful can it be to them when they realize we as their children do not appreciate what they did for us?

"Where's my pants?!" and the next thing you know, it's already nicely folded in your cupboard.

Without them, there will be no us, so do appreciate them. However wrong they could be sometimes, they just do not want us to step into the wrong path in life. =)
