A SECRET FROM MY PARENTS

            Have you ever got the most important lesson for your life? If no, you are lucky. Why? That is because I will share about that here. Firstly, you have to know that life is never separated from one word. That is learning. We must learn as long as we still do activities. The smallest scope for learning is in the family. Usually, the children learn from their parents about how they have to behave, what they have to do or not, etc. I am the one of those children. I learn many things from my parent’s life, but I have one the most important thing that I learn from them. So, what is that? Read this one!

            My parents are the people who always have a positive thinking. They always tough when they facing the problems. They really rare to become worry. They said to me that when you facing the problems, you have to think that your God is bigger than your problems. They began their marriage from zero. There was not the slightest thing can be given from their parents. Only one hope they had and believed that is ‘Lord will bless the man that trusts in Him, and whose hope the Lord is’. That is a quote from the Bible verses that guide their life. So, they hold what God said.  Now, their beliefs become a reality. They have become the success people, but that does not make them forget with God's help. They continue to more rely and faithful on God. They often remind me that we live from the blessings of God.

            From my parent’s life, I learn one of the most important things for my life. That is I have to make dependent of my life on God whatever happens. Honestly, it is difficult to still depend and thankful to God when my condition was bad. I have to remove all my negatives thinking when the problems came. I have to try hard to do this because the negatives thinking will come quickly to my mind when I faced the problem. I have ever tried it, and when I took a decision to depend to God, He fulfilled His promise. He showed the way out of my problem.

     Now, I do not doubt to do the same thing that my parents had done in their life. Depend on God is a secret to have a life of a true life. I do not see through the eyes of a man anymore when I faced a problem, but I learn to see through the eyes of God. I believe that God will never leave me whatever my situation and condition. My parent’s life is really become an inspiration for my future life. I am thankful to God that He made them as my parents.

A Servant Becomes A Hero

Do you know who is your everyday’s heroes? Some people don’t realize who are their everyday’s heroes. They more remember heroes who helped them in big things and in one event than heroes who helped them everyday. Help is usually given by everyday’s heroes are considered as a routine activity that it should be done. I think almost everyone have everyday’s hero in their life, so do I. usually, if I talk about everyday’s hero, I always answer that is my parents. Yes, of course they are my heroes, but I have realized that I have one another everyday’s hero. Can you guess who is she?

                She is my servant. Her name is Erus. She is 47 years old. She had been working for 8 years in my house. She becomes a servant since she was at second grade in elementary school. That is her last educational. So, she had been being a servant for 40 years. That has been so long. She does not have a chance to change her job because being a servant is only her expertise. She has 3 daughters and 1 son. Two of them had been working, and they do not live with her. She lives with her 3^rd daughter,1^st daughter, and her granddaughter. Her husband work in other city as a hawker and comes home once a month. She must work because her husband’s income is not enough to fund her family. Work as a servant is not easy. She said that sometimes she feel tired and bored to do the same activities everyday, and it is difficult to be successful if I just became a servant, but she is happy if her boss satisfied with her work and she can help them.

                I know my servant since 8 years ago, but I never realize that she is my everyday’s hero too other that my parents. I need her every day. Without him, I would be busy. Nobody wash my clothes, ironing, cleaning my house, etc. I can’t do all the things myself. I need her to help me. I amazed with her struggle to become a servant for many years to support her family.

I can learn 3 lessons from her life. First, spirit is not pegged at age. She is not young more, but she still has a spirit of youth. Second,  age does not limit a person to keep fighting. Third, hope will make someone keep trying. I know she has a hope that her children have chances to choose their future. She is my everyday’s hero eventhough, she is not feel that. She is just laughing when I say that. I hope she can be my everyday’s hero continuously.
