Raising Children In God's Will (117) Chapter 2. Children's Love and Parents' Love Section 4. Love of Parents
3) The Flow of the Parents' Heart - 2
When loving parents look at their children, and one of them were sick or disabled, the high and deep love of parents also flows to the disabled child, that is the principle. Is that wrong?
The heart of the disabled child is like a glen. The heart of the parents is like a high peak. So the parents' heart flows from the peak to the deep glen. (147-166)
There is nothing bad in the hearts of parents living for the sake their children. The more worn out the mother's clothes are, the more miserable they are, the love of the mother flows down the valley of tears. (173-263)
Even if the children had some fault, a loving parents would not point it out at first. They want their children to inherit only the good points.
Even if the parents hit the child on the cheek to scold them, they feel sorry and regret it, that is their heart. They did not hit the child because of the bad incident.
If there is any small way in which the child has taken after the parents, the parents appreciate it more than the bad point and on that basis they try to understand the child, that is the heart of parents raising children. (16-172)
