Happy Thoughts

Tables and Chairs

Since i was a child,we eat together and no one starting to eat without a prayer. Every morning, my mom took a bible and starting to read a text. Afterwards, all of us give a brief explanation or insight about this. When lunch coming from, we also eat together. After eating,we do every task we had. My mom is the one who cook, my brother was taking a broom then clean the floor, my sister clean the table while i am the one who wash the dishes. We are organize in our home.However, during the dinner time everyone will have the opportunity to tell their problems that they encounter for the whole day. I can say that we are all happy when we talk about our own distressed and my parents give us the practical solutions they thought about.

Hindrances
Money
I consider the fact that money is the main reason why my parents give their time and attention from this. It was  started after my graduation in high school. Of course, I know that as time goes by when we grow up there's a lot of things we had and my parents afraid enough when they did not give what our needs. This are their obligations for us but because of this, they forgot the best important thing for us: time and attention that possible to give when we are eating together.


Television
Waiting our parents before eating was too tired that is why we spent our time watching movie. Sometimes we ate one by one even that's not the right time to eat.


Alcohol
I am not the one who drink alcohol but my father. He come to our house smelling bad. If my mom saw him, there was the time they fighting always. Saying bad words, throwing all things and sometimes doing physical abuse. From the morning, my father drink alcohol without eating breakfast. It was his vitamin until the evening.

Solutions
Prayer and Bible Reading
I always pray to Jehovah, our almighty God who created the heaven and earth because according to psalm 65:2 states that "He is the hearer of prayer". He also give us strength and holy spirit to maintain patience, love and other fruitful behaviors. Bible serves as the way of comforting us for our worries and distress. I read bible daily. So it help me to survive from every obstacles I may encountered in my life. So I encouraging you also to read your bible too.


Time Management
I have my organize schedule right now. So I manage my time very well. I'm not wasting my time for watching unnecessary movies. I spent more time for reading books and doing my assignments like what my siblings do.  


Communication
It is very important thing to consider because communicating contribute a harmonious relationship to others especially in my family. I always talk to my mother what was my problem and listen for what she told me.I accept her advice and obeying it immediately.In fact, it is the great gift that God given us.She was my best friend and I love her so much.
