we had the semestral reading of honors in school today. i saw how parents were so proud to see their children climb up the stage and claim their certificates (well, indeed these were just pieces of paper but they had much sentimental value)... with faces beaming and eyes gleaming with tears that were about to fall, i couldn't help but be touched from within... seeing such pride in those parents' eyes made my heart bloat inside.
i couldn't help but joke about how the parents had the right to at least half of the certificates since they surely gave more than a helping hand in passing projects, coming up with reports and even studying for the finals. yet, none of these mattered as much as having their children recognized for all the hard work for the first half of the school year.
i was then reminded that one day, we'd all have our turn to climb up the stage of life to receive our own rewards for how we did in the pre-eternity part of our destiny. true enough, whatever rewards God may give us are not our own, but a collaboration of efforts of the people who chose to invest in us. nevertheless, what matters is that we toil on the right ground and choose the right path, that there may only be rejoicing in the end.
