Today is the second death anniversary of my beloved mom. I put three roses and I lighted candle in front of my parents’ photo. This day I dedicates for thanking God of having such loving parents. What stays in my memory is just all their goodness. Didn’t they have any weakness? Of course yes.
I remember a sentence in the book of Irving Stones “Ecstasy and Agony” (the biography of Michael Angelo) says like this: “Something should be passed to be valued”. I also remember how I struggled to understand what is “eternal life” when I was in one course of Anthropology Theology – in the Philippines. I think I know clearer today. Every goodness brings eternal life – goodness is eternal – goodness is always held by human being to stay alive. It should be passed to be valued or to shine their value and everybody loves this “light” – it becomes eternal. And the goodness in our heart – our conscience – is the Spirit of God who stays in each of us. God is eternal and He grants us the eternality by staying in us. My beloved mom and dad are alive, they have eternal life because of God who stays in them – and “that God” make us, their children ”alive” – encourage us to live out every goodness they have cultivated in our heart.
Ow, I become so theological. I am not a theologian, so let me continue my story of today. I have tried to find for a good image to honor my parents, and I got this one. I would not make any elaboration about this image. Let it speaks to each of us …
