Life – Praying Parents By The Water (Parents' Day)
Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 2 October 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
We have Children’s Day. We have Father’s Day. We have Mother’s Day. So I thought why not a Parents’ Day and have it a day after Children’s Day. After all parents play such an important role in bringing up their children and that not easy.
So today I thought I would honour parents all over the world with this shot of praying parents by the water.
I guess sometimes parents can come to their wits end as to how best to parent their children especially when they begin to exert their individualities. Parents know that being finite people they do not have all the answers. And so they pray and ask for wisdom to make the right decisions in raising their children.
And they do not pray alone, they pray and work together like how this couple is doing.
Parenting isn’t easy. So let’s give responsible parents all over the world the due respect and salute them.
Happy Parents’ Day!!!
