We are running out of time. Busyness surrounds us. Our work, our business consumed most of our time that we tend to sacrifice the most important things in life.
Our career exists for one purpose and that is to support our family.
Read the story below of a young mother with her tiny blond girl at the fountain, enjoying the detours.
Great parenting lesson. Raising positive kids.
One spring morning I paused beside a park fountain to watch the spray diffuse sunlight into shimmering rainbows. A young mother, followed by a tiny blond girl, came hurrying along the path. When the child saw the fountain, she threw her arms wide. "Mommy, wait!" she cried. "See all pretty colors!"
The mother reached for her daughter's hand. "Come on," she urged. "We'll miss out the bus!" Then, seeing the joy on the small face, she relented. "All right," she said. "There'll be another bus soon."
As she knelt with her arms around the child, joy filled the mother's face too - that rare and special joy of sharing something lovely with someone we love.
Since that day, I've found that the happiest, most observant, most creative belongs to families rich in rainbows shared.
