I often thought my parents were
perfect during my growing up years. When I was a teenager, they seem to get
less smart and backward in the way they think and do things. This made me
question their thinking, judgment and lifestyle. I often fought with their
decisions on me as they didn’t suit me and how I wanted to live. They wanted to
pattern my life to be straightforward, and I wanted a little more fun in it.
Recently, I have come to
discover that they are not perfect. They only tried, in the way they thought
was right, to bring up a child. It is usually hard to admit the truth, but at
this point of my life, looking back, they were often right. Although the
tension may still be hanging in the air, as we may not talk freely like they
would want me to, sometimes I wish they had explained what they were trying to
do for me.
But am sure you will ask, “If
they ventured to explain to you at that tender age, do you think you would have
understood them?”
You can never tell. The minds
of children are sharper than you can think of. Our heavenly Father teaches them
beyond our expectation.
