@ Oh Baby, you are amazing! Special Bonding !

Recently, I heard a touching story which illustrates the power that words have to change a life — a power that lies right in the hands of those reading this article. Mary was born with a cleft palate (see the pictures) and had to bear the jokes and stares of cruel children who teased her non-stop about her misshaped lip, crooked nose, and garbled speech. With all the teasing, Mary grew up hating the fact that she was “different”. She was convinced that no one, outside her family, could ever love her … until she entered Mrs. Leonard’s class.

Mrs. Leonard had a warm smile, a round face, and shiny brown hair. While everyone in her class liked her, Mary came to love Mrs. Leonard. In the 1950’s, it was common for teachers to give their children an annual hearing test. However, in Mary’s case, in addition to her cleft palate, she was barely able to hear out of one ear. Determined not to let the other children have another “difference” to point out, she would cheat on the test each year. The “whisper test” was given by having a child walk to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and then repeat something which the teacher whispered. Mary turned her bad ear towards her teacher and pretended to cover her good ear. She knew that teachers would often say things like, “The sky is blue,” or “What color are your shoes?” But not on that day. Surely, God put seven words in Mrs. Leonard’s mouth that changed Mary’s life forever. When the “Whisper test” came, Mary heard the words: “I wish you were my little daughter.”

Dads, I wish there was some way that I could communicate to you the incredible blessing which affirming words impart to children. I wish, too, that you could sit in my office, when I coun- sel, and hear the terrible damage that individuals received from not hearing affirming words—particularly affirming words from a father. While words from a godly teacher can melt a heart, words from a father can powerfully set the course of a life.

If affirming words were something rarely spoken in your home growing up, let me give you some tips on words and phrases that can brighten your own child’s eyes and life.These words are easy to say to any child who comes into your life

Way to go,

Bingo … you did it,

Magnificent, I knew you could do it,

What a good helper,

You’re very special to me,

I trust you,

What a treasure,

Hurray for you,

Beautiful work,

You’re a real trooper,

Well done,

That’s so creative,

You make my day,

You’re a joy,

Give me a big hug,

You’re such a good listener,

You figured it out,

I love you,

You’re so responsible,

You remem- bered,

You’re the best,

You sure tried hard,

I’ve got to hand it to you,

I couldn’t be prouder of you,

You light up my day,

I’m praying for you,

You’re wonderful,

I’m behind you,

You’re so kind to your (brother/sister),

You’re God’s special gift,

I’m here for you.

“My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through.If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”… Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep.
When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl?

When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way… remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day… the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through.

If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.

And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked.

When those days come, don’t feel sad… just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love.

I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you… my darling daughter.”

A Great Moral story

That night, Sue quarreled with her mother, then stormed out of the house. While in route, she remembered that she did not have any money in her pocket, she did not even have enough coins to make a phone call home.

At the same time, she went through a noodle shop, picking up sweet fragrance, she suddenly felt very hungry. She wished for a bowl of noodles, but she had no money!

The seller saw her standing wheat faltered before the counter and asked:

- Hey little girl, you want to eat a bowl?

- But … but I do not carry money … she shyly replied.

- Okay, I’ll treat you – the seller said – come in, I will cook you a bowl.

A few minutes later the owner brought her a steaming bowl of noodles. Ate some pieces, Sue cried.
- What is it? – He asked.

- Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness! – Sue said as she wiped her tears.

- Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel!!

The seller sighed:

- Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother had raised you since you were little, why were you not grateful and disobeyed your mom?

Sue was really surprised after hearing that.

“Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, even a little.”

On the way home, Sue thought in her head what she would say to her mother when she arrives home: “Mom, I’m sorry. I know it is my fault, please forgive me … ”

Once up the steps, Sue saw her mother worried and tired of looking for her everywhere. Upon seeing Sue, her mother gently said: “Sue, come inside honey. You are probably very hungry? I cooked rice and prepared the meal already, come eat while it is still hot …”
Can not control any longer, Sue cried in her mom’s hands.

In life, we sometimes easy to appreciate the small actions of some people around us, but for the relatives, especially parents, we see their sacrifices as a matter of natural …

Parental love and concern are the most precious gifts we have been given since birth.

Parents do not expect us to pay back for nurturing us …… but have we ever appreciated or treasure the unconditional sacrifice of our parents?

Family Stamps Heartfelt Snow Message to Mom in Hospital

William Hart, 14, was on his way to visit his his mother at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago
when he came up with the idea of writing her a message in the snow

A heartfelt message written in the snow atop a hospital parking garage Monday was the work of a 14-year-old boy and his family, who were sending the message to his mother after she was diagnosed with leukemia.

A heartfelt message written in the snow atop a hospital parking garage Monday was the work of a 14-year-old boy and his family, who were sending the message to his mother after she was diagnosed with leukemia.

William Hart was on his way to visit his mother at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago when he came up with the idea of writing her a message in the snow.

He and his father stamped out the words “Hi Mom,” with a smiley face in the “O” of Mom, in the snow on top of the hospital’s parking garage, which was visible from his mother’s room.

“We kind of just shuffled our feet and made the words,” William said.

He called his mom and told her to look out her window, where he stood waving in the middle of the snowy note.

“I looked out the window and saw the message and this little body waving all around with his dad and his uncle,” Shari Hart said. “It’s more than just I love you mom, it’s a show of love that goes way beyond words,”

After the family’s visit, William and other members of his family decided to write a message to all the patients at the hospital.

They began to stomp out the words “God Bless U All” but ran out of room, leaving just the words “God Bless U.”

Angela Washek, a surgical intensive care unit nurse at the Chicago hospital, said she saw four people on the garage’s roof at 1 a.m. Monday and quickly realized they were writing a message.

“It wasn’t that difficult, it didn’t take that long and we noticed people looking down on us as we were doing it, and that made it kind of special,” Shari’s husband, Tim, said. “It was just fun, we were just playing in the snow and fantastic, people are getting excited about it, something simple,”
