Family Bonding
It feels good that I am now covering books, buying school supplies, preparing snack for youngsters and teaching techniques in studying in an easier way. We make it enjoyable learning lessons and find time to play mind games. Their Dad trained them in chess and I enhanced their vocabulary through scrabble. In sports, father and son are into basketball while I and daughter in badminton. During vacation in elementary level, the children are a month taught by hired teacher; eldest on saxophone and youngest on piano. Then we encourage them to present during programs and ocassions. We are also planning to enroll them in a taekwondo class when they step into high school. In college, they will be oriented on what life comes next after graduation on their chosen field. Once a year, we schedule to have either take the kids to a nature trip like beach, mountain or to a mall to buy what we all needed and eat in a food chain or fine dine. We are spending just enough and worthy of being purchased or to wisely avail long-lasting and valuable. Every holidays like yuletide seasons: Christmas and New Year, we visit our parents so they’ll be able to hug their grandchildren. On the usual Sundays, we read Bible, then we told our kids,
“for every wonderful things that is happening in your life, first give thanks to God for He is The One who makes it possible then second to the instrument/ channel who had deliver it to your hands. Whether it’s coming from another people or from your own effort. Always remember that you are not living for yourself alone. What you are today is not solely your own strength but only borrowed from God. It may be taken away anytime, downfall in arrogance and exalted in humility.”
Years passed so fast, that I remember a baby sleeping above my husband’s chest while I place a blanket to warm them, but now all grown up
Loves asked me, would you want us to have a baby to learn violin? Haha …
) if God will allow us again, why not?
