Yesterday and Today

Source

Every human being should learn to live and cultivate every moment of his life as if it were the last, because everything passes quickly. Commonly we hear someone say: "It seems like yesterday!" This is how things happen. In one day we were children, in the other we are adults. Children's games give rise to real life, full of responsibilities to assume. Wake up late and play all day ... That now are just memories, memories of a good time, very good. Today we wake up early and the "joke" is different: it's called work.

I hope you have returned a little in time and remembered things that you have already lived. We know that many people, due to different circumstances, did not know or could not take better advantage of those moments. But that does not matter now, because life continues and brings with it new expectations, new situations and moments. And in those new moments the children fit. They need and must be motivated to live every minute of the greatest gift given by God: life. However, the message is not for them. It is for you, father and mother.

Many parents have already felt that feeling that time has passed and their children have grown up, they have become adults. But for you who still have your young children, it is important to invest time enjoying with each phase of your life. The first words, the first steps, the first earache ... There is no money in the world that pays for those moments!

One of the great "villains" of the family is activism, which makes a person spend hours taking care of something, without perceiving who is around them. This is a problem inherent in the work. There are parents who work outside all day, when they get home, due to fatigue, they have no more pique to play with their children. Even tired, try to set aside a time for your child. When you are with him, turn off the phone, avoid answering the phone. Deposit your attention to him. Make this moment, one of the most special of your life. And with all certainty, the same feeling will be happening to your child. The child is not "stupid", he is smarter than we think.

There are parents who, because they have not received attention and affection when they are children, today have difficulty demonstrating feelings of affection to their children. If you fit in this case, ask God to come to restore your heart, clearing any channels that may be obstructed due to the pains and marks of the past. Although it is difficult, it is not good for you to transfer to them the same pains for which it has already happened. And so that this does not happen, you need to be restored.

Repentance is one of the most beautiful feelings in our lives. Through him we reflect on our attitudes. And what has been your attitude towards your children? Repent for not doing something is very bad. It is in those hours that you perceive how much you could have talked, talked, played, walked more with your child.

However, spending the days regretting the losses of the past will not advance, on the contrary, it will only prevent you from continuing to live the 'today'.

When you get home, do not repress a loving hug that your child may want to give you. There are parents who arrive nervous at home and discovers all the anger in their children.

Make the most of it, feel with them, tell stories and, above all, teach the Word of God. And, in the future, when you say the phrase "it seems like yesterday," it does not sound like regret and regret for what you did not do, but as a pleasant memory of well-lived times, lived intensely as if they were the last days of his life.
