I love this story even if I read it over and over again

SON: “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
DAD: “Yeah sure, what is it?”
SON: “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
DAD: “That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”
SON: “I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?”
DAD: “If you must know, I make $100 an hour.”
SON: “Oh! (With his head down).
SON: “Daddy, may I please borrow $50?”
The Father was furious.
DAD: “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such childish behavior.”
The Little Boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The Man sat down and started to get even angrier about the Little Boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the Man had calmed down, and started to think: ‘Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $50 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.’
The Man went to the door of the Little Boy’s room and opened the door.
DAD: “Are you asleep, Son?”
SON: “No Daddy, I’m awake”.
DAD: “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $50 you asked for.”
The Little Boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: “Oh, thank you Daddy!”
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The Man saw that the Boy already had money, started to get angry again. The Little Boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his Father.
DAD: “Why do you want more money if you already have some?”
SON: “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do. Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
The Father was crushed. He put his arms around his Little Son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It’s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for would replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.
Some things are more important. ❤️👇

Is it worth it?

“Is it worth it?”

I wonder if being in a relationship with someone is better and happier than being single and free?

I wonder if being in a relationship or being with someone is the basis of a happy, satisfied and contented life? The reason why people are always pressuring and asking you, “why are you single” and “when are you getting married?”

I wonder if being in a relationship and staying in a relationship with someone who doesn’t respect, who doesn’t love you back, who doesn’t appreciate you, who doesn’t value you, who doesn’t know how to take care of you, you makes you anxious and fearful, who makes you feel ugly and not enough, and who doesn’t know how to be loyal and be contented is worth keeping? Is it worth the pain and the heartbreak? Is it worth every drop of your tear? Is it worth staying awake at night? Is it worth worrying? Is it worth breaking your heart in pieces?

Is it worth it?

I believe we all want to be loved and to love. We love the feeling of receiving love and care from someone. We wanna feel valued and be assured every now and then. But, we sometimes rely and depend on the wrong person. We shouldn’t rely and depend on people, because assurance, love, identity, security and peace should only come from the unlimited giver, Jesus Christ.

If we depend and rely on people for happiness, assurance, love, identity, security, value, tendency is we’ll get hurt, offended, and will break our heart. Because we are just human–limited and sinful. That’s why we should only depend on Jesus–unlimited, gracious, loving, merciful, faithful and generous.

Is it worth loving Jesus Christ? Yes. It is worth your all, because He gave His all for you, including His own life, so you’ll live and be saved from your sins.
