Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

Do you realise that each time we gain something, we actually lose something as well?

When we ‘gain a husband’, we ‘lose’ our ‘free time’ (or ‘freedom’) as a single woman.

When we ‘gain’ a child in the family, we ‘lose’ our body figure (well, at least some of us do!), and rest time.

Basically, when we gain something, we also naturally lose some other things.

Things are simply NOT like how it was before.

…

Now you see, our response towards something actually greatly depends on our belief and understanding of ‘where it came from’.

It is only when we realise that what we’ve gained or what we’ve received (be it our work, family, food, children, spouse, etc) is all given by God that we can see our life and actually BE THANKFUL.

For example:

– We’ll see our children not as a heavy burden, but as a blessing.

And when we see them as a blessing and a gift in the family, the way we treat our little ones and deal with them during challenging moments will be different too.

…

So, how’s our response towards life and our family?

…

“… always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
– Ephesians 5:20
