WALK WITH A HEART

Mark the day where people will WALK for a very good cause.  

People from all over the world have been extending help since the big disaster hit the Philippines in 2013.  It affected millions of lives and it is not over.  The severe loss and damage the calamity brought continues to pain the victims of this tragic event and the brethren of the Iglesia Ni Cristo feels the intense need to share further with the World Wide Walk to happen on Saturday, 2nd of February 2014.

Be part of this simple but effective way of giving not just monetary assistance but a heartfelt empathy to the young and the old that lost love ones, homes and almost – their ALL.

What difference does it make if you will walk to have a good functioning heart and walk with us in the WWW and have also a big blessed heart?

How hard will it be to use up this one day to be within groups of people sharing smiles knowing you have a common cause?

Why not do what you usually do of exercising those bones and muscles, getting the vitamin D that you need, strengthen your heart and lungs WITH ME?  WITH US?

Know that this is yet another Memory to Keep.  Join the Worldwide Walk for the Yolanda Victims and be part of history.

SMILE AND MAKE OTHERS SMILE

None other than Nat King Cole advicing people to SMILE...

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking

Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

It lightens up the mood, it brightens up the day. Not just for you but for others that passes you by. SMILE is contagious. It's so easy to give that you almost need not make an effort to do so. And it comes back twice as nice because in your heart you knew that you shared something. You knew that you are not a snob and the other person knows it. And you knew that somehow you have a friend in that person for returning it.

It is very seldom that a smile is not given back. What are you to lose to smile? In fact there is everything to gain. You relax your facial muscles, you practice humanity, you encourage friendship, you pass common good, you make your day happier, you contribute to a peaceful society, you make others feel as good as you feel.

You are not seeing that someone face-to-face and yet you can still share a smile. Share SMILE QUOTES that can travel down the wire and make the heart fuller, send a message with a smiley to go with it in your mobile phones or websites for it to represent you, talk with a smile in your face though just on the phone for that someone at the other end of the line to hear the smile in your voice.

Pass along the smile...be happy and let everyone else around you be happy.

NEXT TO ENGAGEMENT

It is all overwhelming, the friendship, then the relationship, then the engagement. You are blissfully happy and contented. But it does not end to that. It's not all courtship, sweetness and dating. Because after that it will be more than that. Much, much more than that. Because next to engagement will be marriage, commitment and responsibility. Next it will not just "you and me" but "you, me and them". The family. The children.

There will be a need to prepare yourself to let go of prioritizing yourself and your better half. You need to be prepared to forget yourself a little and focus on those tiny people that will solely depend on you. They will depend on you to take care of them. Provide them things they need and want. Those signature bags you buy for your collection and use will be changed to toddler backpack. And of course, you still wouldn't want less than the best. Not just anything, but these pretty ones that will be the envy of others. School will come and nap mats will be needed. Again, you kids have to be the best. Why have the least if you can have the best among the rest?

Still, we also have to consider that life is not that easy to live. You got to have better source than "just enough" because when you have a family to care for, you have to think one step ahead. Business like Embroidery Dallas to add to your monthly salary is ideal.

Again, It's not all courtship, sweetness and dating. Because after that will be marriage, commitment and responsibility.

DECIDING TO HAVE KIDS

Some newly married couple prefers to wait a few years of enjoying each other before deciding to have kids. Some though are so inclined to having one right away that they conceive it as honeymoon babies.

It is a matter of readiness to build a family and to raise the product of “you and me”. But at this time and age it should be more than what you want but also of CAN YOU? World crisis makes most limit their number of children to 3 or less, and some countries even give a rule of only 1 per family due to over population. These are relevant to the possible here-after of child birth. The excitement and happiness will be there, but what of the responsibility of rearing them and assuring that they can be taken care of, and giving what they need. Can you provide them shelter, necessities, and a little of what they may ask for?

More so, can you be the perfect parent for them, loving them completely and no maltreatments or insufficient time allotted for them? Because if you will only have them to please your other half and blame the kid for being in the way of your career or your social life, DO NOT HAVE ONE. Kids are not puppies or dolls to be excited about at first then be ignored after you lost interest.

Children are blessings, and in them you are sure of having the love given you unselfishly. It is the most wonderful feeling to share your love and your all to someone loving you more than anything and anyone else; And to see them grow up to how you molded them. It is a prize to see them be the best that they are. It is a fulfillment to complete your family of “two of us” to “all of us”!
