By properly expressing their love and gratitude for their parents, children can foster a more loving, meaningful relationship with their parents.
In Can Children Repay Parents?, Reverend Geary Reid discusses the dynamic and relationship between parents and their children. Too often, children are unaware of just how many sacrifices their parents have made for them. Though they may express their appreciation for their parents when they are younger, once children become adults and start living their own lives, they may stop seeing or talking to their parents as frequently. Importantly, children must realize that they would likely not be where they are today without the support and guidance of their parents. Because of this, it is crucial for adult children to go out of their way to show appreciation, love, and respect for their aging parents. By doing so, children will build a stronger relationship with their parents and help repay them for a lifetime of love and service.
Indeed, children should be aware of all their parents have done for them. Parents provide their children with not only food, shelter, and clothing but also love, money, and direction. It is thus the adult child’s responsibility to provide for his or her parents as they age. Through this book, readers will learn about the relationship between parents and their children, as well as the myriad of ways through which adult children can start to repay their parents for all their selfless sacrifices.
