Ang matalinong babae ay nagtatatag ng kaniyang bahay, ngunit winawasak ng isang mangmang ang sariling tahanan.

Mga Kawikaan 14:1 

Bising-busy si Selina sa pagpaplano ng kanilang family vacation. They were going to surprise their 4-year-old with a trip to Disneyland for her birthday. Pero ang dami pang details na kailangan niyang ayusin and she was running out of time. Meron pa siyang last-minute requirements sa work.  

“Mommy, I have a boo-boo,” umiiyak na lumapit sa kanya si Remy na pinapakita ang galos sa daliri. Dahil nga nasa panic mode na si Selina, she asked their yaya to take care of the situation. But Remy was still not happy. “What’s wrong, masakit pa ba ang sugat mo? Nilagyan na ’yan ng band-aid ni yaya, huwag ka nang umiyak,” Selina spoke to her daughter without lifting her eyes from her laptop.

Yaya came to the rescue. “Halika, Remy, i-kiss ko ang sugat mo,” she said. Then she prayed for Remy and gave her a hug. Selina saw this happening from the corner of her eye, at na-guilty ang ina. “That didn’t even take 5 minutes. I could have done that instead,” sinabi niya sa sarili.

“Ang matalinong babae ay nagtatatag ng kanyang bahay, ngunit winawasak ng isang mangmang ang sariling tahanan,” ang sabi sa Proverbs. Aray, Lord! Pero oo nga, sometimes we, men and women, can relate.
