Honour your father and your mother ( Exodus 20 :12 )

Rose, Daisy and William’s parents adored their children and always taught them the values of kindness and respect. They also emphasized the importance of appreciating everything they did as a family.

Every morning, Rose, Daisy, and William would wake up with smiles and greet their parents with joy.

One evening, Rose helped her mum prepare dinner and decided to express her thoughts. "Mum, thank you for working so hard to take care of our family," she said.

Her mum smiled warmly. "You're welcome, Rose. It means the world to me that you appreciate our efforts. We do it because we love all of you so much," she replied.

Encouraged by her mum's response, Rose continued, "I want to help more around the house. I want you to know that I truly value your hard work."

The following day, Rose shared her newfound understanding with her siblings. Excited by Rose's idea, Daisy approached her dad during dinner and said, "Dad, can I set the table every evening?"

Her dad's face beamed. "Of course, Daisy! That's a fantastic idea. Your contribution will show how much you appreciate our family, and it will be a great help."

Meanwhile, William approached his mum and said, "Mum, can I help with the laundry from now on?"

His mum's face lit up. "William, that's such a thoughtful gesture. Yes, you can help me with the laundry. It will make things easier for me, and we can spend more quality time together."

This loving family realized that even the smallest acts of kindness and gratitude could strengthen their bond and make their home a truly special place
