Hello everyone,,,How are you today?
Children are not asked to be born. They can not be consulted. Intentionally or not, we invite children into our lives. When you stop and think about it, once they are here, we owe them the time, protection, affection and attention they desperately need to grow.
The time will come when they will not ask you to read a story for them again, want to sit on your lap and fall asleep, play soccer with you, or ask you to fix their bikes. And it may seem strange, all the things that you are currently trying hard will miss. There will be a time when you really want to read a story for them ... word for word, until it runs out! You will wonder why you ever feel that reading a fairytale book before going to bed (for the 27th time) is so boring that you cheat by flipping three pages at a time.
The years you experience with your child will run out and pass before you realize it. Though it felt like just yesterday when the first time carrying it, the eldest son had gone from home to college and the second child would leave home soon. We often remind ourselves of this fact every time the children ask to do something with him, or want to talk or just want to sit and watch TV together.
The house will be empty before you realize it. Unlike money, time can not be saved or moved around the next year or the next. Time will not remain silent, no matter how busy you are at work, at home, or other things even if you try to get promoted in order to better your family with protection, comfort, and time for the future. So do not allow housework, work, shopping, sports, hobbies, friends, cars or anything else to dominate your life so you do not have enough time with the kids. Do not delay putting aside time for them now, hoping you can replace them later. They will soon become adults, leave home, and your chances will go on forever. And you still work all day waiting for the 'big chance'!!!.
So take advantage of the best time with the child, when the time and opportunity is still there. Because if it does not, we can not twist that time!!!.
Sweet family. You are so right. Family are the most precious things Allah has given us. Love them as much as we can, and then some more.
Thanks so much😊
