"You, a new familiar, but so concerned with me than with his own birth mother" she told the proprietor.

The owner of the diner after hearing the words of Ana, took a deep breath and said "Miss why you think like that? Think about this, I just gave you a bowl of noodles and you're so moved. Your mother has cooked noodles and rice for you when you were little until now, why do not you thank him? And you're even arguing with him "

Ana, was shocked to hear that they will be. "Why would I think you know about this ill-tsb? A bowl of noodles for new-org dr know, I was so
thank you, but to my mother wrote to cook for me for many years, I did not even show concern for him. And just because a trivial issue, I argued with him.

Once upon a time, we may be very grateful to the other org around us for a little help given to us. But to someone who is very close to us (family), especially our parents, we must remember that we are grateful to them for life We.

REFLECTION:

However we must not forget our Parent Services. Often we think they are a natural process for granted. But the love and concern for our parents is the most precious gift given to us since birth. Think about it!
Do we want to appreciate the unconditional sacrifice of our parents?

Hey Children, obey your parents in everything, because that's the beautiful in the Lord.
