发现孩子的内在美

Jun 17, 2024

义人的父亲喜乐无限,智慧之子使父母欢欣。(箴言23:24)

父亲们,读一读下面的话语:“多年来我不断敦促我的大儿子戈登获取高分。我对他一直有点失望,因为他从来都没有真正达到我设立的优秀标准。在戈登高中最后一年,有一天学校邀请我们去参加颁奖典礼。很明显他因某件事情得到奖励,但我无法想象是什么。学校邀请我们去是为了填满座位吧?我想我们只能坐在那里,看着每个学生昂首挺胸地走到领奖台前,掌声四起,唯有我的孩子坐在大厅的后面。他为什么不更加努力一些?我的态度变得更恶劣了。“接下来,校长走到麦克风前宣布:‘这是我平生第一次给一位年轻人颁发特别奖,他是如此杰出,因此我们不能忽视他的成就!’他把戈登叫到台前,花了些许时间描述我儿子优秀的品格:从善、诚信,以及平和的领导力。‘我们学校从来没有过像戈登这样的学生,可能以后也不再有了。戈登,我们给你颁发第一个,也许是最后一个校长杯奖,以表彰你的正直、勤奋和得体。谢谢你给学校带来的美好品行。真正认识你的人,没有一个人不被改变。’在那一刻我意识到他是在对我说话。我从来没有真正认识我的儿子戈登,就更谈不上会欣赏他。我知道一旦真正认识他,作为他的父亲,就再也不会像以前那样了。”
