Whenever we heard people say you are cute, or handsome, of course, as parents, we felt happy.
But, let us be reminded of two things, son.
1. Physical appearance is temporary. You will not be cute forever!
2. Inner self, the real person, is more important. Make sure it is cute and handsome always.
Lest you do not believe me that physical appearance is temporary and will change with time,
let me show you a picture of me at about 3-4 years old, I guess.
How about that!
Your mom actually said I was cuter.
Never mind if you do not agree.
I was stricken with chronic asthma shortly after this picture was taken.
And I remain weak, skinny, underweight to this day.
Son, the most scary sound to me is the sound of you coughing.
I can only pray that you will not 'inherit' my asthma.
If you do, please forgive me, and I trust God will lead you through it.
'In all things God works for the good of those who love Him' (Romans 8:28).
He makes no mistake. Trust Him.
