Appreciating Our Parents

Last month I went to a prayer meeting in which everyone had lost a parent--except for me. As they talked about their experiences of their loss, I thought to myself--I am so blessed to still have both my parents here on this earth with me. I admit that I often took my parents for granted when I was growing up, but now, I truly value them in my life.

My parents are getting older and their health is getting fragile as time passes by. There was a time when I almost lost my mother due to a health complication. It was the miracle of God that gave my mother a second chance to life. Because of this, I have been awakened to my faith. From there on, I knew that God never lets a prayer go unanswered.

Not all of our parents are perfect, but we can still develop our relationships with them while they are still with us. When was the last time you told your parents that you loved them? When was the last time you let them know that you appreciate them for everything they've done for you? It is never too late to let them know...
