On the 18th, the last day of the holiday break, when I arrived at my parentsโ house at 12 noon, the table was the first thing that caught my eye.
I was moved by how much effort she must have put in preparing all these meals by herself. We worshiped before meals, shared words of encouragement, and ate the delicious food that was prepared with great care.
โUm, this is so delicious, Mom.โ
My husband also said, โLetโs eat. You did so much!โ Seeing her work hard, I felt grateful.
Seeing how he had prepared three kinds of snacks for his grandson in advance, his son also smiled brightly, and he loved it. It was also great to see them expressing gratitude to Grandma with โ(nodding)โ
I was also deeply moved by the way my husband took care of cleaning up empty dishes after finishing the meal. A blunt person from Gyeongsang Province who usually lacks expression, he often uses few words, but I could feel he showed gratitude through actions.
Even though He prepared an abundant supply of food, He wrapped it up for us to eat when we go home. I thanked her for all of her efforts and thanked her for all her efforts. Then Mother said, โYes, thank you!โ ,โ he replied. This made me less worried about preparing meals, which I was even more grateful for.
In the past, they used to come home without a word, only eating, but this time, I cleaned the dishes and came back home, chatting together.
As I strive to practice the โpeaceful language of Motherโs loveโ in my daily life, Iโve noticed that the atmosphere naturally becomes softer, and I feel the power of communication, comfort, and encouragement emerge.
Itโs not something special, but if we build this habit within our family, I think it will naturally spread to our neighbors.
