Recently, I read a meaningful book titled The Great Power of Mother. Actually, the book had been lined up in single file in my house for years, but I just read it as my Indonesian teacher gave me assignment dealing with books. Hm, I could grab the fiction one, nevertheless, my brain told me to choose nonfiction book. After reading this book, there's no regret I found. This book had opened my mind even larger. Here I share what I got from this book.

Being dutiful to our parents is an obligation. But, it's not just an obligation, it can be interpreted as faith expression, evidence of love, form of obedience, future investment, and also scheming a happy reunion in the heaven. That's why, this should always be done whether when our parents are still alive or when they've gone. From this kind of dutiful, we'll get the incredible power of mother: efficacious prayer, and blessing that accompanies our steps.

You know, there's no disadvantage of being dutiful to them. On the contrary, we'll get many advantages. Besides, parent's approval is God's approval. Um... you wanna be successful person, don't you? So, you must work hard and pray intensively. One of the efforts is being dutiful to your mom. Once your mom pray for you, don't underestimate it, it'll be granted for sure. You're gonna be successful by your mom's prayer. Nevertheless, you must be dutiful to her first, or else it's not gonna work.

See? Mother is very precious. Napoleon Bonaparte used to be interviewed, "Which one is the strongest fort in France?" He answered, "The good mothers."
Yeah, good mothers means mothers who educate their children well. This kind of mother will spawn great generation. For example, Khalid bin Walid. You know him? Exactly, he's legendary Islamic hero who was known as  the swordsman. His legendary sword was nothing without Khalid. But, there was someone who's greater than him, behind his greatness. Yup, his mother. She is The Woman Behind The Gun, there are great women behind the great heroes.

"Heroes are the ones who are able to dig great potency from their house, from their mother." 

Mothers, they're school before school. A mom is the school for her children and education of love for the heroes at once.

So, what are you waiting for? Meet your mom, apologize to her, and promise to obey her. Build good relationship, and get ready for bright future! Get motivated! :D
