It’s a real joy to see Priscilla growing. She loves to talk
and dance to music, very different from her two older siblings. Lately, she
learnt to imitate us too.
Every morning, before I leave for work I would wave to her.
She must have noticed my black computer on my shoulder: an indication that I am
going away for the day.
One evening, I took out my video camera from its little
black casing. While trying to video Prissy dancing to music, she decided to
crawl towards the small black bag, lift it up and hang it over her tiny
shoulder. Her other hand waving to me, as though to say: “Mum, its my turn to
say good bye now!”
I was caught off guard. Indeed, I only have limited number
of years with Prissy before she leaves us for college, work and eventually her
own family. It was a poignant moment that drew out tears from my eyes. I am
missing her already!
Thank you God for reminding me that I should treasure my time
with my children, as there is only so many of years before they leave me. Help
me to be a better parent each day.
See how pleased you are when you catch a glimpse of your child modelling after you. Our modelling after God, too, would bring joy to Him.
ReplyDeleteTo model God is to model Jesus. May we model Jesus so that we may be the right model for our children. May God bless you, Fee, as you continue to abide in Him (John 15:4-10).

PS: Fee, I have had difficulty posting comment on your blog for a while now. I cannot seem to be able to do it when I am using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). I could key in the comment, but the moment I hit preview or publish, it is gone, and it does NOT show up (even after a few days)! So, for this article, I have retried, using a different explorer.
My apology, fee. After trying and retrying, I have accidentally put the same comment above against the article before this, too! If you can delete, delete the one against the previous article (Take a peek).
thank you anthony for your encouraging words.
