WHY SHOULD I LOVE HIM/HER NOW?
Why should I be the one
to sacrifice more? Why should I give him/her more of time when I can make more
money with my time? Why is now the best time to show love? Probably it is
because you don't know how long you are going to have the opportunity to do it.
Circumstances change. People die. Children grow up and leave home. You are not
guaranteed a tomorrow.
The Bible says, "Withhold not good (love) from them to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Say not to your neighbor, Go, and come again, tomorrow i will give; when you have it by you." (Pro. 3:27-28).
McGovern wrote a book
about his daughter Terry, who died of alcoholism in 1994. After the tragedy,
McGovern went through Terry's diaries and discovered that he was not as good a
father as he had thought he'd been. While he was spending his time fighting for
political offices, Terry was at home writing in her diary that she missed her
daddy, but he probably didn't miss her because he probably didn't care about
her and that’s why he isn’t spending time with her.
McGovern wrote in his
advice to parents, "show more love to your kids by spending more time with
them, especially during the adolescent years - no matter what it costs your
career. That way neither of you will have regrets.
