This is so cute.
Here’s a funny fact. Join your two hands as shown above.Let’s start :
- The thumb represents your parents. Now try seperating them apart, and they’ll easily open. They easily seperate because you are not destined to live with your parents forever. Now join the two thumbs back together.
- Next, separate your index fingers and they will open too because these fingers represent your siblings, and they’ll also lead their own lives in the future.
- The middle fingers represent yourself.
- Next separate your pinky(little) fingers. These fingers with open as well because, they represent your kids, who will also have a different life from yours, eventually.
Lastly, try opening your ring fingers. You can’t right, this is because the ring finger represents both you & your spouse & no matter what you’ll remain together for the rest of your life.
One day someone told me this:
Before taking off in a plane, of course many would not even bother to hear or even look at the air stewardess when she/he is performing the safety equipments in front. But i find this example very significant. When the oxygen mask drops from the top compartment. Take for instance, we have our own child next to us. What would we do during emergency? No doubt the first thing we would do is to place the oxygen mask over our child. We do that because we love our child so much and wouldn’t want a single thing to happen to him/her. But what does the intructions say? You place the oxygen mask over YOURSELF before placing in on your child. Why so? Because we need to save ourself in order to save our child. So what if we really put it over our child first but we die in the course of it? Our child will be alone. Who knows what will happen to our child in times of chaos and massive havoc with people running around to save their lives.
In real life, this example is very relavant. There is a reason why people always say ‘take care of yourself before taking care of other people’. If you do not take ur feelings and emotions into consideration, how can you set an example and help your friends who are in need? This is not being selfish. This is being smart and alert of what is happening around us and how to react to these situations we are put in. Sometimes its so tough especially when that person is so close and dear to you. You always want to do something, comfort that person all the time, but don’t forget you are living your own life too and better to let go or you yourself will be burn out. When that happens, who is going to help your friend?

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)
All we have to do is just to cry out to him and he will give us rest. It’s a promise that was made. Let the promises of God be the measure of your expectations.
Never be afraid to
Express care and
You never know if one day
It will be your turn
For life can bring us trouble
And bumps along the way
So why not cheer another
With a hug to make their day?
