❤️ PARENTS ARE GOD — OUR FIRST TEACHERS, OUR FIRST HOME 🙏
We spend our entire lives searching for God…
We visit temples, bow our heads before thousands of idols, light lamps, offer prayers and ask for blessings.
But there is one truth we often understand too late:
God came into our lives first as our Parents. ❤️
Before we knew how to pray, they prayed for us.
Before we knew how to walk, they held our fingers.
Before we knew what the world was, they became our world.
Before we could understand sacrifice, they sacrificed everything for us.
Our parents were our first teachers.
They taught us how to speak, how to walk, how to respect others, how to face difficulties and, most importantly, how to live.
We may not have seen God with our eyes…
But we saw our parents.
We may not have heard God's voice…
But we heard our parents encouraging us when the whole world was against us.
When we failed, they didn't abandon us.
When we had nothing, they stood beside us.
When life became difficult, they quietly carried our burdens without making us feel how heavy they were.
And yet…
As we grow older, we become busy with our careers, our families, our phones, our ambitions and our own lives.
We sometimes become impatient with the very people who once had unlimited patience with us.
We forget to call them.
We postpone visiting them.
We think, “I'll spend time with them tomorrow.”
But tomorrow is not promised. 💔
And then one day…
The chair is empty.
The voice is silent.
The hands that once blessed us are no longer there.
The home feels different.
And suddenly, we realize:
What we thought were ordinary moments were actually the most precious moments of our lives.
We realize how much they did for us.
How many dreams they sacrificed.
How many worries they hid.
How many nights they stayed awake.
How many times they put our happiness before their own.
And the most painful realization comes:
We had the opportunity to give them our time, our respect and our love… but we kept thinking we had more time.
So, if your parents are still with you, don't wait for a special occasion.
Call them.
Sit beside them.
Hold their hands.
Touch their feet.
Listen to their stories.
