Mothers and even a tuition teacher can do more in a child’s character formation. She kept watching me until the end of that incident and made sure that her son corrected his path. More than that she kept praying. Smiju
This mail from Smiju is a reflection of the greatness in him. He was able to change by himself and that change was initiated and propelled by God through the instrumentation of his mother and tuition teacher. Hence he said "Mothers and even a tuition teacher can do more in a child’s character formation. . She kept watching me until the end of that incident and made sure that her son corrected his path. More than that she kept praying". This doesnt in any way lessen or undercut the role of every Dad in the character formation of the children. It simply highlights the fact that mothers are more charismatic in revealing the love they are created with. In the case of Smiju thi! s is what he said about his mother's role in his character formation "In my case she made me aware of my sin, helped me to solve the problem myself" I think if every Dad could also try to manifest as the creation of God's love, that would, be a mile stone in their children's life. . Thank you Smiju for sharing your story of change. I think people like Smiju are the living little saints those who live, move and have their beings among us. Every Saint is a fallen human. God makes saints from sinners. I remember reading the Biography of Mahatma Ghandhi and somewhere he mentioned about a similar event of stealing and how he corrected himself which changed his attitude towrds truth God Bless us all and Smiju in a special way for injecting this mail for us Fr Thomas Mathew ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: Click Here **************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
