Because all of us are confined in this dimension of time and space, I am sorry to tell all of you (including me) that we are all aging. Moment by moment. Can you hear? The seconds going one at a time and with sixty seconds goes a minute and with sixty minutes goes an hour and the vicious cycle continues.
It was yesterday as I came home after work, I realized that I need to be extra patient as I relate to my parents. My dad was asking me if I had dinner already but my reply was no as I did not feel hungry and so continued to work till 9pm. However, my dad did not actually hear my response and keep asking me. It was then I noticed that I need to speak more slowly and be more patient with him as I talked to him. Yes, simply because they are aging and patience is much needed here.
Reading the papers some time ago, I do came upon courses that even teach you on how to relate to your aging parents. Now then I realized (with my real life experience) how true this topic really is. As the Bible mentions about honoring our parents, let’s all put down our fast pace of life and start to be more patient as we speak to them slowly and clearly, okay?
