What role do you play in your child’s life?
I boarded a train to head to work this morning, being a Monday,
it is expected that we tend to oversleep and hence not be able to make it to
work in time if we choose the bus. For this reason, we were really full. I opened my Bible and started reading from
the book of John. I started from chapter 1. On completion, I got an insight to
continue. In Chapter 2, Jesus performed his very first miracle.
It was at a wedding in Galilee. To be precise, at a place
called Cana. There was much celebrations and as we know, food is mostly
accompanied with drinks. Let me quote
from the NIV Bible. John
Chapter 2:1-5
On the third day, a
wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and
his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone,
Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you
involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.” His mother said to the
servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
These verses made me think and reflect what I know about my
son that if anybody asked me I would answer without hesitation. Surprisingly,
there are a lot of things that I do not know. Jesus’ mother was truly an exceptional
woman. She believed in her son, the son was special, the son was extra
ordinary. Even though Jesus tried to deny that it his time was not yet, the
mother knew that he could do it. Later on we see Jesus changing water into
wine!
As a parent, what
role are you playing in your child’s life, do you know him/her inside out? Reflect on it and have a wonderful day.
