On this occasion, I tried to review how to repay parents' favor, although our parents never asked us to do that and maybe we will never be able to repay their kindness. However, as a child, trying to serve both parents is something we must do and it is our duty as a child. We do not realize that actually, small things that have absolutely nothing to do with material (money), can make our parents happy.
Here are some small things that can make our parents happy:
1) Appreciate the opinions of parents and respect them
Everyone, of course have opinions and principles in living life in this world. Any opinions, whether related to other people, religion or business. Of course, our parents feel that their opinions are correct and they also want their children to follow in the footsteps of their parents.
By respecting parents and appreciating their opinions, even following their opinions, this is a good thing. But disputes can sometimes not be avoided, sometimes there are opinions that are not in line with us, not to let this difference of opinion lead to disputes.
Appreciate our parents' opinions, whatever they are. Although we are not pleased with that opinion, we do not need to invite our parents to debate, just keep quiet and try not to bring up this difference of opinion again.
2) Do something without being asked by our parents
Do we still remember, when we were little, our parents asked us to work on something? Starting from asking us to study, to asking for our help and other things. It cannot be denied, at that time there was still a feeling of laziness and irritation when we worked on their orders. However, when we are adults, we just realize and give thanks for all their commands when we were little.
When we do something without being asked, without being ordered, that's where our parents feel relieved and happy. Parents actually, sometimes feel sad when they tell us to do something we don't like. But, for our good, parents are willing to hold back the pain.
3) Obey parents
Obedience to both parents seems easy, but actually, it's very difficult than what we think. It doesn't need a big thing to make our parents happy. Enough to obey their orders, their rules and obey their advice.
Sometimes we don't realize it, we often deny the orders of our parents. Well, when this happens, let's think about it before we deny their orders, because what they suggest to us is certainly good things for us.
4) Avoid lying to parents
Parents really understand how their children are, even when we lie, parents can find out. However, they did not cover this up so as not to make the hearts of their children sick. Parents sometimes prefer to pretend not to know that we are being dishonest. Certainly, this makes parents feel both worried and hurt because their loved ones lie to them.
Therefore, try not to lie to our parents. Try to be honest in speaking and being honest, even if it hurts. Honest is better and won't be more sick than knowing the lie of his own child. we must be sure that our parents always understand and understand us.
Being obedient to your parents will also make you safe. Although sometimes not happy in living it. Obeying our parents will also make them happy, calm and far from being worried and calamitous.
5) Entertaining parents
Even though from the outside, our parents look very strong and strong, but realize that our parents are also just ordinary people. They also feel the juice that makes them sad. But to keep our feelings (children) from being sad, they choose to save this feeling. And at times like this we have to carry out tasks as children.
When we begin to see changes in our parents, we see indications / signs that our parents are sad, don't be afraid to try to comfort them. Can by inviting them to chat and listen to their outpouring of hearts. Give touches like their hands and hugs. Actions like this even though at first glance don't seem very important for parents. It can also make them more energetic and strong.
6) Be thankful
Another small thing we can do to repay the kindness of our parents is to thank you. But we forget this little thing. Often, we forget this, we forget to thank the parents who raised us. No matter how much we thank our parents, we will not be able to repay the love they have given us. Therefore, thanking is one of the important things in expressing our love for them.
We can show gratitude to our parents for example by giving "a happy birthday". Then help them and simply say the word "thank you" when we remember the services of our parents.
That's about the simplest way to repay the parents' favor that we can do. Also keep in mind the existence of our parents, take care of them when they are old, and often sick. Become successful and be a good person. Some of the above methods we can do even though we will never be able to repay our parents' kindness perfectly.
