Parents

While Growing up we usually took our parents for granted we didn't appreciate their efforts, even the little ones trying to make us happy and fulfilled. We didn't appreciate those instances when they requested us how our day turned into, or those days they drove us to and fro to places we love to see, or those days we spent hours together during family game night but in no way thanked them, you thought they were disturbing you or wasting your time.

You never for once thanked them when they called you countless times wondering where you were or those days they called you when are you coming home. We never thought of appreciating those days we were forced to clean the room or put our dirty clothes in the laundry basket. We didn't appreciate those days we thought they were punishing us and they never cared about us.

As we are getting older and the thought of finally leaving your parents home and be happy doing things you love and no one could stop you. The idea of going out anytime we want and coming back anytime we want excites us. The idea of we can clean our room anytime and no one will force us to do what we don't like is really thrilling. The idea of we can invite our friends in anytime and they can leave anytime since no one will tell them it's late won't you start going home.... really makes us happy.

But I don't think you know what is coming... I don't think you understand what it meant by living alone..... These are the few things I learnt living alone

• Everything becomes bored, not really bored because sometimes my girlfriend was always with me.

• You will miss those days that your parents keeps calling your name countless times just to let you know that food is ready.

• You will always have dirty clothes around since no one is telling you to wash them.

• Sometimes I don't even go to church since no one is around is going, and those days I do go to church I'm always late.

• I have to order my own food now except if my girlfriend is around because those days they kept calling me to come to the kitchen I do ignore them.

• Now you come in after work, no one is asking how was work because you are alone then you remember those good old days.

I realized all these after I moved into my new apartment and I recognized that I have failed to appreciate those little things they were doing for me back then.

They are truly our greatest blessing. That is why we need to show them respect for each little thing or effort that they do which we thought it doesn't matter because you thought it is their duties as parent. Our parents do care you might think they annoy us and force us to do what we don't like. They dedicate their entire life and most if their time to us just to see us happy and be successful.

God’s word instructs us to honor our parents. That means we should respect them, show love towards them, take care of them when you are capable, But don't forget God who gave you such kind and wonderful parents, do you thank him too because only God alone deserves it.
