5th Ordinary Sunday |
A mother of five wanted the answer to a very interesting question: "How do children
know they are being loved?"
Her children have all grown up. The following is what her children said to her:
"You told me every morning before school: 'I love you.' and you put a note with the
same words in my lunch bag."
"Although you didn¡¦t satisfy all my wishes, you satisfied all my needs."
"You gave me freedom to make certain decisions but I feel you by my side, giving
me unlimited support."
"When I woke up at 4 o'clock every morning to go to work, you have already
prepared my breakfast and my lunch. From you, I learned to give unconditionally to
others."
"When I was young, you made me leave a party you felt was inappropriate. I was
unwilling at that time but in the end you were right."
