children

coming from a fragmented extended family due to conflicts of epic proportions, i've seen the healing effects of children. only recently has one family from our extended conflicting families reached out to us for reconciliation. one can just imagine the awkward and silent moments each time members of their family met ours. thanks to the children in the family, we have something to talk about.

yes, when adults in a family don't have anything else to talk about, they talk about the children. when they don't know what to do in front of the other adult members of the family, they ask the children to do silly stuffs like dance or sing or act. children even become the important reason why parents reconcile with their daughters or sons!

i'm sure plenty of us had experienced the miraculous wonders that children can do for relationships. no wonder children are often called angels. cherish them. love them. nurture them the right way!
