This is for all the parents out there.....
Pencil: I am sorry....
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry ... coz you get hurt bcoz of me. Whenever I made mistakes, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true! But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)
I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.
Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil.
They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually passed on).
Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they did for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying or sad.
In view of this, let us reflect and contemplate on our life ... the present, the past and the future ...
and let us offer this prayer ~~
Lord, thank You for allowing me to undergo trials, which You know I can handle. I offer back to You the trials I face today, for I know that Your love alone is more than enough for me to overcome them;
Lord, please teach me to believe constantly that bcoz of Your love, I will have answers to all my problems; and let my doubts disappear to be replaced by hope -- in Your love for me;
Through difficult times, Lord, please teach me to trust in You. And, please help me to surrender my life to You each day ... my will to Your will, so that Your glory may be made more manifest in me, as your humble servant.
This I pray, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
