Life? Have you ever stopped to think
about your life? When you are in your mothers’ womb, you are cradled with love
and protection from harm. When you are born your mother and father watch over
you, feed, clothe, keep you warm, protect you from danger and give you all the
love they can share.
Once
you start that first day of school at age five, your mother cry’s because you
are growing up fast. That is in her eyes, your eyes think only about the fear
about being away from you home, mother and all the protection you’ve known for
the past five years. You are becoming independent and making friends that will
last through all your school years. If your family doesn’t move.
Next
comes your teenage years, these are very difficult for you are now changing
physically and emotionally. Becoming opinionated, about your views and
passions. Looking at life in a completely different line of thought. The
opposite sex is now on your mind and dating. Then comes the first love of your
life. The famous saying, “I love you” goes through your mind and if you break
up, “I’ll just die!” But we all know you will never forget your first love, but
there will always be other loves in your life.
Your
parents believe it or not, hurt right alongside you when you hurt, they hurt also.
Then comes college. Your mother again cries when you leave home for the first
time. She knows she can’t protect you from the world and you are now on your
own so to speak. This is the first time you are truly on your own. Your parents
have tried to prepare you for this all of the seventeen or eighteen years of
your life.
You
are now considered an adult! Whoopee! Although you have dreamed of being an
adult, you still have questions on how the world really works and yes you will
make mistakes, but that is life. We learn from our mistakes, or we’re suppose
to learn from them. Some of us are hard headed and have to make the same
mistake two or three times before we learn what that listen was. Thank goodness
for our parents, for we can always pick up a telephone and say help!
Now
you are through with college and you take your first job, get married, and have
that first baby. Your life has now gone full circle as to what your parents had
gone through. Yes this is life. It depends on you as to how hard it is or how
easy it becomes.
Yes,
you should think back at your life from the first steps you took to present
day. How has your life turned out? Easy or hard, it is your life and it is what
your family remembers about you.
May God
Bless!
