Yep, I've been reading to her, since day one, if I remember to, and the other day, I bought an even cuter version, Bible for mother and daughter, ain't it cute?
Why?
It's not about me,
It's never about me, that's the point,
Most of the people take religion personally, and yes, to some extent, you’ve to take it personally, to be serious about it, but not personal to the extent that, you've to fight, to kill, to have war, or, to hurt others… that's not it's supposed to be…
That's why, I've always liked to quote this,
"It's far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them." ~ Adlai Stevenson
And that's what most of the people fall trap into…
Let me share this with you, most of the people, whatever "convenient" them, they call it TRADITION, and whatever that "inconvenient", they keep quiet, there're tonnes of them out there… mind you!
Anyway, I've gotta introduce it earlier to baby,
As soon as I can, why?
Cos, I'm scared,
Cos, I'm worried,
Cos, I know that, I'm not good enough, as a parent, to tell her what's ultimate right, or ultimate wrong,
Cos, I'm unconfident to bring her up as a proper person, with a proper "orientation" in life,
Cos, I'm worried that, (though I've been through heartache when our mother left us in 2008, I still consider I'm more fortunate that most of the people) I'll not be there all the time for her, needless to say, FOREVER,
At least, when I'm not around, or, when she really needs somebody, she'll know where to look for, for the morale support, for the energy, for the advice,
At least…
I know we're not perfect, and therefore, I've to put her in God's hands,
I know we'll not be there forever for her, and therefore, I've to rely on God to look after our baby…
I know we don't have all the wisdom on earth to groom her and teach her, and that's why, I've to rely on this ultimate source…
And that's why, I start reading to her, The Word!
