I dare you to take 20 minutes and watch this U tube video. It is a piece written by a Filipino painter who paints the Last Supper with Jesus at the table with street children and narrates on the Canvas of Society. A very moving piece.
The more I deal with adults that suffer from insecurity, low self image, anger issues and are negative and critical, the more I can trace back a difficulty from their childhood. Parents, we have so much influence on our young children. Give them a heritage that will last a lifetime. I am not talking about presents cheap or expensive, educational pursuits or a classic ballet lessons. I am talking about unconditional love no matter their IQ, personality, weight or prowess at sports or music; teaching them to consider others better than themselves, that life is not fair but we should try to be; that we can live within our means and be content with what we have- others will always have more and many more have less; be respectful of country, authority and laws, that we should live with life goals and seek to pursue those; that life without God is no life at all.
When we do this we can change what is on the Canvas of our Society
I am a person who knows what I am thinking when I see it written down or verbalized. I am married with 3 grown daughters and 2 sons in law and now have a grandson and a new granddaughter! I have lived in 3 countries, Canada, India and the Philippines. Soon I will be living in Singapore. My life is rich. Maybe some of my musings may help you find life to be rich as well.
