A Quote for the Day

I cannot be a brother unless you too are my brother or my sister.

Dumb girls go out looking for their boys. Smart girls go out looking for their dreams. That's why smart girls got married with their dreams, and live alone; and dumb girls married their boys, and don't have to dream of children.

If only we realize, and genuinely believe, that we are children of an infinitely good Father, we would choose to be good children of that good Father as long as we live. The sobering truth however is that despite what many people may say, deep inside at very seat of our soul, that genuine belief is not really there. So people still continue to live according to the lights of their vile motives as if they will not be answerable for it and for all the actions coming from it.  

Many times you don't have to worry seeking for things to teach children, especially around ages five to eight. They simply ask a lot of questions about things they encounter each day. The only challenge to adults is to listen to them earnestly, not brush them away irritably or play listen without hearing, and answer them with all honesty as far as you know about the answers.

Watching the kindness and honesty of children interacting with fellow children and adults, you cannot fail to appreciate the goodness that God created the world with. Looking at adults cutting corners, and even employ violence, to serve their personal objectives, you will realize the horrific choices people can make in their lives.

Children need only a single word such as "baby," and a peculiar way of saying it themselves, to laugh aloud in the next 10-15 minutes, or until another source of happiness catches their attention. They simply repeat the word in that unique way of saying it, again and again, milking it with all the joy they can get from it. They have the simplest need to make themselves happy, and are very efficient in enjoying that source of joy. Things that adults have learned to forget to their sad misfortune.

Not everyone is cut for the married life. Those who are not, should not. So much presumption in this area has led to broken marriages and children.

Adults can certainly teach children all about life. But there is one thing that only children can teach adults--what life is all about.
