What Family Role Do I Play?

You Are the Mother

You have an abundance of love for humanity. You care about all the people of the world. You love helping others more than anything else. You love to be needed. At your best, you unconditionally love people. You are very nurturing. You are a wise and gentle teacher. You are happy to guide anyone who needs your advice or explanations. At your worst, you are controlling and overbearing. You smother people with affection and gifts. And with this attention you give, you are expecting something in return.

What Family Role Do You Play?

Love in Kids' Point of View

While browsing my old emails and deciding which to get rid off, I saw this one from Dex. It has been sitting in my yahoomail for almost three years now. Though I've read it so many times before, I still find it funny how kids define love.

Well here are some of the definitions that painted a big grin on my face:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." - Rebecca - age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."- Billy - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." - Danny - age 7

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." -Noelle - age 7

"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken." -Elaine - age 5

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."- Karen - age 7

"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."- Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." -Jessica - age 8

Hope you like these too! Have a good day!

A New Year Prayer

Holy Father,
God of our yesterdays, our today, and our
tomorrows.
We praise You for Your unequaled greatness.
Thank You for the
year behind us and for the year ahead.

Help us in Your new year, Father, to fret less and laugh
more.
To teach our children to laugh by laughing with them.
To teach
others to love by loving them.

Knowing, when Love came to the stable in Bethlehem, He
came for us.
So that Love could be with us, and we could know You.
That
we could share Love with others.

Help us, Father, to hear Your love song in every sunrise,
in the chriping of sparrows in our backyards,
in the stories of our old
folks, and the fantasies of our children.

Help us to stop and listen to Your love songs,
so that
we may know You better and better.
We rejoice in the world You loved into
being.

Thank You for another new year and for new chances every
day.
We pray for peace, for light, and for hope, that we might spread them
to others.

Forgive us for falling short this past year.
We leave
the irreparable past in your hands, and step out into the unknown new year
knowing You will go with us.

We accept Your gift of a new year and we rejoice in what's
ahead, depending on You to help us do exactly what You want..

I say it again, we rejoice!

In Jesus name,

Amen.

What u need to know about NIGHTMARE or BANGUNGOT & some realities

IMPORTANT: Never go thirsty when going to bed and besure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.Bangungot has killed a male nurse of UERMMH. It is sudden death in adults which cause them to die while sleeping. Many theories have been put forward as its cause. However, here is an article which sheds somelight to the cause of this malady.

Please read on:

Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR: The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding.

However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water.

It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, all ow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water.

The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.
