A Reflection by Sis. Amanda Chen

Our parents, grandparents and relatives have over the decades cared for us, from ensuring that we have our basic needs fulfilled to providing guidance and care for us to grow and become valued members of society. They are indeed a blessing in our life, having been our biggest supporters as we go through good and challenging times.

In this holiday season, let us not hold back in showing our appreciation for all they have done for us, by tending to their needs, giving them sincere attention and conversing with affection. An endearing practice and a blessing for the whole family is to serve our elders tea, thank them for all they have done for us and seek forgiveness for any wrongdoing on our part during the Lunar New Year.

We need to remind ourselves that we should not only hold the love for our elders in our hearts, but show them that they are appreciated and cared for. These moments together are ever-precious and should be spent wisely.
