❣ Snail's story Ⅱ ❣
This story is like our story…
Neighbor Anna’s family has only one daughter, Lily. So Anna reposed all her hopes in Lily. She must properly cultivate her daughter and do her best to provide a good living condition and a good learning environment for Lily. ❣
However, no matter how much time and energy she spent on Lily's study, Lily's academic grades never satisfied her. Lily always liked kneading plasticine into flowers, dolls or something else. Every weekend she would surf online for the skills in handwork and the samples of the craftwork, and then she would spend a whole day learning to make handicrafts, not doing her homework. But Aunt Anna thinks this is a waste of time, it is not a business. So sometimes Lily would hide at my house to do the craft.
😥 Lily sometimes tells me that she feels too tired. 😥 She just can't understand the knowledge in the textbook. instead, prefer to make it by hand. And Lily has not been professionally trained, and the handicrafts made are very good.
🌾🌾 Later I went to preach the Gospel to Aunt Anna and we shared a word from God. "But when it comes time for people to raise the next generation, they will project all their unrealized desires in the first half of their lives onto their descendants, hoping that their offspring will make up for all the disappointments they experienced in the first half of their lives. … hoping that their offspring can help them achieve their dreams and realize their desires; that their daughters and sons will bring glory to the family name, become important, rich, or famous; in short, they want to see their children’s fortunes soar. People’s plans and fantasies are perfect; do they not know that the number of children they have, their children’s appearance, abilities, and so forth, are not for them to decide, that their children’s fates do not at all rest in their palms? Humans are not the masters of their own fate, yet they hope to change the fates of the younger generation; they are powerless to escape their own fates, yet they try to control those of their sons and daughters. Are they not overestimating themselves? Is this not human foolishness and ignorance?"
After reading God’s words, Aunt Anna was shocked. Actually, God’s words revealed clearly and thoroughly the hopes she projected on her daughter and the thoughts in her heart. Just as God says, she really wanted to raise her daughter to be talented and hoped she would rise high in the world and bring glory to our ancestors, thus realizing her unrealized ideal and wish.
