My journey to earth was the intention of the
Master (Lord God of Nature) to fulfill His will, even though he gave me the
freedom and room to decide which path I follow, he placed in position
opportunities to help guide my path. Knowing fully well that my decision and
choice of path is dependable on the kind of family and environment I grew up,
He introduced me to the best family and best environment that could impact on
me the necessary virtues I need.
I accepted my fate on my very first day on
earth with my cry which was my only means of communication and grew under the
loving care of my parents especially my mother who gave me her undying love and
attention. Her sensitivity to watch me closely not to be consumed by my actions
of wanting to understand the world was a plus. Seeing her attend to my very
needs even when she could not understand my language (cry) and when there was
no much in the house was the foundation of love she introduced to me.
When I grew up as a teenager, each time she
got offended by my dad, she waits for my return to report his action, the
amazing thing is; upon asking my dad about his action, he either give
reasonable excuse and promise never to repeat or deny completely.
My Dad was the head of the house, yet his
loyalty to me made me so proud of myself. Initially; I thought it was a
privilege as the first child but later got to understand that it is just pure
exhibition of LOVE.
A genuine love from a father (the head of
family) to a child made him so humble to respect the frown of his child. I got
a full knowledge and demonstration that love is humility, attention, meekness
and respect.
Loving a child is the most valuable gift to
help understand and live by the virtue of life. The family and society owe
every child the responsibility of love. How much love we give to the children
around us is determinant of the person they become. Parent alone are not the
only persons to help train a child, the society too has huge role to play.
Training a child is building a Nation. The children are the future, loving them
is simply teaching them how to love.
Do not underestimate the power of LOVE to the
children. Understanding love is; understanding sacrifice, patience, risk, and
not-giving-up. These are basic knowledge for life excellence. So therefore;
impact into every child this basic knowledge to build a loveable nation.
Love is our fate, it is our power, it is our
will and our destiny.
Shallom!
