Steemit Engagement Challenge S6/W1 - "The Joy Of Parenthood".

Hello Steemians,

I hope you are healthy and in a good mood to be full of energy and enthusiasm to participate in the competitions at the beginning of Season 6.

Today I publish my first post and chose the Steem Kids & Parents Community competition, which was recently selected to organize the competitions. What attracted me to this competition is the topic of parenting, which is considered one of the strongest human bonds, and the tenderness of parents and their fear for their children is a natural reaction to the innate love that lives in their hearts towards their children . I wish you a good read.

Every day when you wake up, you feel the need to see and check your child's face. Either his innocent face touches your good heart and life is reborn, or his smile overwhelms you, taking over the whole world and making you forget all your worries and fears. So you are a father.

Being a father doesn't mean you turn into someone completely different from yourself, but it does mean your life takes on a different meaning and tries again.

Your child is the only part that can be separated from your body, not your soul. You see him grow, grow, mature, step by step and reach the next, to what you are and maybe he will overcome you and will you be happy.

Many things have changed in my life since the birth of my first child Yahya. The most important thing is not the worry, the obligation or the burden, but the new spirit that runs through my veins as I practice all the rituals of life. I see his every move, his smile and his howl, his sucking and his satiety, his calming and his sighs, and every one of his reactions. Surprise, satisfaction and appreciation for charity donors.

Being a father means meditating on a spacious new space added to your contemplation list, and you may prefer it with its many secrets, ramifications, and attractions.

Contemplating the enormous differences between you as an adult human being and a child of one or two months, you discover that he is no less human, vital, vigorous and intelligent than you, for he is endowed with everything what human nature requires of sensory sensation and mental awareness to learn, accumulate information, make comparisons and draw conclusions, except that one's memory It has no input and it takes time to accumulate it through the repeated observation, feeling, diversity of images and conditions, then building initial mental images about things around this new organism.

Fatherhood, in fact, is not an ordinary affair, it is rather an extraordinary meaning, it is a vision of the inner being of man and a window on the reality of his eternal belonging to a immaterial world where meanings transcend words, spirit is present and expressions annihilate.

I am captivated by the language in which my child speaks to me and to his mother, so we understand her and we understand what he wants most of the time, and he in turn begins to understand us in a few months, this language that we do not consist of words and letters, but of two acute feelings that the child does not know at the beginning of his affairs except for them, contentment and discontent, and if he feels contentment He smiled or was about to smile, and if he got angry, he cried and moaned tirelessly, and little by little his feelings divided, multiplied and branched out from these two main feelings; Crying becomes multi-format and each need in the child's soul, such as hunger, pain, heat and defecation, for example, has a different formula to which it becomes accustomed until it develops a new formula with the deepening of its awareness of its needs and their ramifications.

From the first day of Yahya's birth, I felt an immense feeling of happiness, not because I became the reason for the existence of a living being other than me in this life, which will be a part of me and a pledge of my care and education, but rather because I had the opportunity for the first time to come into direct contact with the essence of life and its effectiveness and the reflection of the will of the Creator in it with His laws and the Sunnah, and you will not find His language is a substitute.

To be a father means to enter a world full of responsibilities as well as sufferings and burdens, but it also means having a new window to reach the self you seek and to satisfy your Lord in the care of his trust that he has carried you with. , and after all that means having a friend who is sincere, full of affection towards you, but, And this is the most important thing, in his vision of you - before his instinct reaches, he must be at the less deformed - from the impurities of occasional opportunism that usually afflict even the closest relatives.

If Yahya smiled at me, my whole soul smiled at him, and if I understood a need from him, I was forbidden to rest until I was sure that his needs had been met. the mind and the heart automatically evoke this state of detachment, the equivalent of which is scarcely found except in the gaze of parents on their children.

When I contemplate my child Yahya, his behavior and the lessons I learn from it, I realize that he teaches me as much as he learns from me and his mother, and maybe more, and I am happy of this feeling that I am not just a father who loves his children, rejoicing in their joy and stabbing his heart for their sadness, but rather a person trying to learn and explore the secrets of life and the relationship of people among themselves through the contemplation of his children.

It is natural for a person to get married, have children and go through all the rituals of human life, so that he becomes a husband and a father, but fatherhood is actually not an ordinary affair.

Thank you very much for reading, it's time to invite my friends @pelon53, @fredquantum, @irawandedy to participate in this contest.
