Raising children is rewarding

Raising children is rewarding. But raising not even your biological children is more rewarding though more challenging. It is even at times very taxing .emotionally. Why? because you have to start to adjust to small kids character and attitudes plus to think that these children were molded in their early years in a different environment. An environment full of pains, anger and hate. It is still rewarding to raise children with different attitude towards life. Because these children give us the priviledge to hone our skills on how to handle children. Raising these children give us the chance to reevaluate the way we handle our own biological children.

Saving for the future

Saving for the future is often in the mind of an individual. It is merely thought at but never acted upon. If a person merely thinks of saving money for the future but doing nothing at all, can be likened to Filipino "Juan Tamad" (lazy person) who is lying on the ground waiting for the guava to fall down and not even reaching the fruit when he can always reach out for this. A lazy person will never succeed in his life. He will always be dependent upon other people. Saving for the future needs conviction and the self determination to reach for your dream. Withou action, dreams will remain a dream and Plans will remain a plan.

Parenting: enjoyable or exhausting

Parenting could be both enjoyable and exhausting. Parenting depends on the state of mind of parents because if they are not ready for this role as parents then everything from pregnancy, to child rearing to teen age period of your child is all stressing. However, if the parents are psychologically ready to play their role as parents to their children, then everything and everyday of their life is a joy to celebrate. And if these children are so nurtured with the loving care of both parents then they too become wonderful parents of their future children. Meanwhile, children growing up in stressful parents ended up with miserable life. They have not felt the love and care of their parents so they become miserable parents of their future children. It is a cycle of life. As the saying goes "History repeats itself". However, if children of stressful parents try hard not follow the miserable ways of their parents, instead correct their ill ways and learn lesson from all of the events of their life, these children will grow to be more wonderful parents themselves. Parents endowed with more wisdom to see the light amidst the dark alleys of their life. Enjoy parenting!!!

God is more than a genie

In our life we always looked for someone higher than us. We look for someone we can lean on during difficult times of our life. Often man hope of finding a lamp with a genie inside it, so that he can ask for anything he wants in life. We dream that all our wishes will come true. We hope that with just one(1) click of our fingers everything we wish for will be realized. We hope so hard forgetting that there is someone greater than a genie, God himself. A genie could give you only three (3) wishes while God's gift is limitless. Little did you know that every little thing that you wish for had been granted already. So why look for a genie when God's gift for us is limitless. Continue to hold to God because he will do the battle for you.

Insurance for life

Why people should have an insurance? Is it a must to have insurance in the family? What good will it give us if we decide to get an insurance? Whether life, health, accident, car insurance etc, generally it is of utmost importance to own one to have ready funds for you and your family members in case something happens. When insurance agent explains the importance of getting one, everything positive about the company and everything good the customers will receive is the main topic discussed. As usual, target customers end-up getting one with the hope that everything discussed will be enjoyed to the fullest when the time comes. However, before ever getting one, whether life, health, accident, car insurance etc, take into consideration the following:Is the company stable? Does the company has enough funds to pay the customers when the time comes. All things being reviewed, the next question that should be considered is, Do you have extra funds to sustain the long period of payments? Because if what you have is mainly the desire to own one and you have no extra funds for this then you will end up not continuing it. You are wasting your money. When you decide to own one take care of this as if it is your life because truly it is your life.
