I've taken up journaling again. I've started and stopped at various points in my life but it's always been helpful. Tonight as I was writing my latest entry I could not help but think about how great I feel when it's all out..everything that I keep bottled in and don't really feel the need to share with anyone. Then it hit me. This is part of the gift I am imparting to my kids. I'm giving them the opportunity to form thoughts, opinions and have private counselling sessions in two languages. These babies will be able to reach for words and concepts in English and Arabic. They will be able to express their thoughts, opinions and emotions on paper as well as orally. How wonderful is that? A whole world of knowledge and mode of expression will be open to them because of the gift of literacy.
Praise God/Alhumdulillah for the gift of literacy.
