DO YOU LOVE YOUR AGED PARENTS...?


How do you treat them...
Here is a Heart Touching Story:
An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his
house along with his 45 years old highly educated
son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his Son, "What is this?" The Son
replied "It is a crow". After a few minutes, the
Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's
a crow". After a little while, the old Father again
asked his Son the 3rd time, What is this?" At this
time some expression of irritation was felt in the
Son's tone when he said to his Father with a
rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow".A little after, the Father
again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"
This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do
you keep asking me the same question again and
again, although I have told you so many times 'IT
IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came
back with an old tattered diary, which he had
maintained since his Son was born. On opening a
page, he asked his Son to read that page. When
the son read it, the following words were written in
the diary :-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with
me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the
window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was,
and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a
Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked
me the same question again and again for 23
times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt
affection for my innocent child".
While the little child asked him 23 times "What is
this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to
the same question all 23 times and when today the
Father asked his Son the same question just 4
times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
So..
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them
or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a
gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind
to them. Be considerate to your parents.
Remember, some day, you'll also be like them.
From today say this aloud, "I want to see my
parents happy forever. They have cared for me
ever since I
was a little child. They have always showered their
selfless love on me.
They crossed all mountains and valleys without
seeing the storm and heat to make me a person
presentable in the society today". Say a prayer to
God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way.
I will say all good and kind words to my dear
parents, no matter how they behave.
Do this in practical and God will bless you.
