Recently i heard a parent once mentioned that why parents can sacrifice so much for the children but yet the children seem to only care for themselves and their own family. I thought to myself, that statement sounded very true. In fact i have heard it many times from the elderly...seems like there is a chinese proverb which says: " water will flow downward and not upward..." (something like that =p)
It makes me wonder:
How many of us can really put ourselves on a parent's perspective? How many of us really know what are their thoughts and worries when they sleep each night?
Or rather how many of us even take time to slow down our pace of life and spend time talking to them and hear their hearts desire?
Indeed being a parent is a priviledge given by God and only through that, someone learn the real meaning of sacrifice..

"If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket-safe, dark , motionless, airless-it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, inpenetrable, irredeemable."
(Written by CS Lewis)
A quote that i show my friends recently. A quote which left me wondering the truth of it. Lots of thoughts.. yet lots of challenges to overcome still.

TWILA PARIS - Not Forgotten lyrics
When you think your dream is dying
He has not forgotten you
When your body aches from tryin'
He has not forgotten you
When you worry for tomorrow
Even though the sky is blue
See the sun is shining
He has not forgotten you
When July feels like December
He has not forgotten you
When it's painful to remember
He has not forgotten you
When it seems you can not win
And there is not much left to lose
He has got a plan
And He has not forgotten you
He is faithful
He is with you
He is listening
He is love
If your tired flesh has squandered
What your spirit would have saved
And your aimless feet have wandered
Far from all you truly crave
Turn and run toward your Father
Do not wait another day
See His arms are open
And He is calling out your name
And hope will spring eternal
In the homes of those who know
That loving arms will follow
Every where we go
And even in the darkness
His promises are true
Keep this in your heart
He has not... forgotten..... you.
Sorry... the video couldnt work. Pls see this site to hear e song....

Only Jesus knows.
I jus had a conversation w someone thru e phone. i remembered i heard e same remarks bout me prob a year back? oh my.. now i heard it again. Previously, when i heard it.. i was so angry and disappointed with this person who is dear to my heart. But today i heard similar remark and apparently that person still paste that remark on my forehead ... seems to judge me forever.. 'urgh'
But i thank God cos today when i hear it, i dun really let it affect me any longer.
my only conclusion: Only God Knows and That person has to be accountable to God for saying that of me. be it a remark or a curse..
and my action: to reflect and Be accountable tO God for my life.
Tts what letting go means.

Trust.....
Proverbs 16:20 (New Living Translation)
20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful.
Trust.... a simple yet difficult word to embrace...
Yet those who trust in Him will have the best.

You have been Good...
If i never get to see another rainbow
Or share another life with a friend
If i never stand barefoot by the ocean
Or get to kiss my child goodnight again
If i never have another prayer that's answered
Or have another blessing come my way
If this is all I know of heaven's kindness
Father, i would still have to say
You have been good
You've been so good
And i may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
In so many ways, You've been good to me
You've shown me mercy upon mercy
Grace upon grace, time after time
and I know too well what I'm deserving
Yet, You are still so patient and kind
(Scott Krippayne: You have been good)
indeed... You have been so good...
