reward

Was there a time in your life when you did something good and wished that you could be rewarded?

When I was a child, I always do good (which is what my parents want me to do) in as much as I could. However, I wasn’t really after any material rewards. What I was hoping for then is that they would be happy and proud of me. I just thought that it’s my responsibility to do so.

Well, I believe I was a good daughter during my childhood days. My parents had always told everyone that I was the best daughter that anyone can have. Of course, that’s enough of a proof to say that I succeeded in making them happy and proud of me. (or is it?)

Now that I am not a child any more, I don’t do good just because of my parents. I still consider what they feel and what they taught me. Nonetheless, it’s my spouse and son who inspire me to do good. They are the reasons why I would like to do better than what’s expected of me. Hopefully, I don’t get to fail them.

I want them to be proud of me just like my parents. I am not asking for any thing. I don’t even ask that they tell the world how fortunate they are to have me. All I aspire is that by doing good, I am becoming a good mother and spouse.

I believe that by becoming a good daughter, mother, and spouse, I have become a good creation of God. Therefore, I become worthy of His love and His promises…
