"Strenghts of a mother..."

Mother

They carry children, they carry hardships,
they carry burdens but they hold
happiness, love and joy.


They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when the are happy and laugh
when they are nervous.


They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for justice.


They don't take NO for an answer when
they believe there is a better solution.


They go without new shoes so their children
can have them. They go to the
doctor with a frightened friend.


They love unconditionally.


They cry when their children excel and
cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a
birth or a new marriage.


Their heart breaks when a friend dies.


They have sorrow at the loss of a family
member, yet they are strong when
they think there is no strength left.



They know that a hug and kiss can heal
a broken heart. Mothers come in all
sizes, in all colors and shapes.


They'll drive, fly, walk, run or Email you
to show how much they care about
YOU. The heart of a mother is what makes
the world spin! Mothers do more than
just give birth. They bring joy and hope.


They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family &
friends. Mothers have a lot to say
and a lot to give.

"Love our PARENTS"

"Take care of your parents. THEY ARE PRECIOUS."


Realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our
parents.


My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we
went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never
traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him
experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train,
I got them tickets on Jet Airways. The moment I handed over the tickets
to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The
excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of
travel. Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day
and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his
luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for a window seat and waiting
restlessly for the security check-in to happen. He was thoroughly
enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him
experience all these things.


As they were about to go in for the security check-in,
he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became
very emotional and it was not as if I had done something great but the fact
that this meant a great deal to him.


When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to
thank me. But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back
at my life. As a child, how many dreams our parents have made come
true. Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for cricket bats,
dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they
have catered to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices


they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes? Did we ever say
thanks for all that they have done for us? Same way, today when it
comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good
school. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will ensure that we
will have to give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc. But we
tend to forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake
to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams
are realized and what they failed to see when they were young. It is
our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life
is complete.


Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions,
I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks
me something, I have been very polite in answering. Now I realize how
they would have felt at those moments.


Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and
just as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care
needs to be given to our parents and elders. Rather than my dad saying
thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long
for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my
sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all
their wishes.


Just because they are old does not mean that they will
have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren
also. They have wishes, too.

"The Complex Mother Daughter Relationship"


When you were 6 you considered your mother a goddess. You’d sneak into her room and smear your face with her favorite lipstick, borrow her beautiful earrings, her favorite dress, and slip your feet into her high heals because you wanted to just like your mother. Suddenly at 20 you fear becoming your mother. The mother daughter relationship is complex!

For the next 10 years it seems that your vocabulary shrinks to two words “But Mooooommmmm” and then suddenly at age 30 she’s your best friend again. No other relationship is quite as primal as the one we have with our mother.


Ask any mother that’s over the age of 65 about her relationship with her sons and daughters. You’ll find most tell you that their daughter is like a best friend, someone you can discuss issues with that are important to women and things men don’t like to talk about. As mothers and daughters mature it appears that in most cases the bond becomes even closer.


For some women this bond never comes, for others it’s natural, and yet for others is requires considerable work. At some point in the relationship before that deep bond of the young child returns in adult hood a period of rebellion occurs where you are absolutely certain you do not want to be like your mother. This turns to a deeper understanding of who your mother is and suddenly a realization that you would be proud to be like her.


For those where the bond never comes relationships can be stormy. The number one cause for these stormy relationships is the inability of the mother to accept their daughter as an adult. A mother that visits and then tends to run the house, or sticks her nose in her daughters business when she has not been asked to is asking for trouble. Letting a daughter be her own adult person is critical to a strong mother daughter bond.


When a mother doesn’t accept her daughter as an adult and respect her daughter’s decisions the same rebellion that took hold during those earlier years, especially the teen years, will resurface.

The daughter will begin to hear control in every word issued by the mother and the mother will hear only anger when the daughter speaks. Needless to say this unhealthy environment can only lead to more turmoil. Old patterns can be hard to break but if you truly want a special relationship then both mother and daughter will need to make changes.

If you who have a mother that supports you and respects your decisions as an adult you need to nurture that relationship and give your mother the same respect for the decisions she makes as an adult. Remember unconditional love will build an unbreakable bond!

The best gift a mother can give her daughter is the gift of independence. As she grows into a young adult and later into a mother herself she will have the confidence to be who she wants to be thanks to the gift of a mother who truly understood the importance of independence and free will. Mother’s should start this process at a very young age; say 2 or 3 when children can begin to make basic decisions.

For some the complex relationship between mother and daughter will always be filled with turmoil unless both approach their demons and work towards a brighter future.

For others the complex relationship between mother and daughter will never seem complex. Instead it will be a bond so deep nothing can break it, built on love, admiration, respect, and independence.

How to Be a Good Mother


There's already a lot to cover when learning how to be the best parent you can be. But there are certain challenges a mother faces as a parent that are distinct from those of being a father. Here's how to overcome them and raise your child(ren) well.

Steps

Be patient. Being a mother is a little challenging sometimes, especially if you have a daughter. But keep your cool and try to stay patient. Your' daughter snuck into your room and put on your makeup? Explain to her the practical reasons why she shouldn't do this, such as hygiene, clogging pores, etc. Then tell her why you don't like her doing it- she'll muck up her skin at this young age, this is your makeup, etc. Try this approach to other problems. Stay calm, explain the practical reasons not to do something, and then why YOU don't want them to do something.

Take an interest in your child's interests. If your son likes cars, maybe buy him a model car he can make. Ask questions, like what is your favourite type of car, which model is that car, etc. If your daughter is interested in animals, buy her something like a magazine for animals, and tell her some interesting sites and books she can look at. Ask her what her favourite animal is, info about animals, etc. Make an effort.

Don't be tight about money. Okay, so blowing money day after day isn't the best thing to do, but don't automatically say no to everything your kid asks for. If you always say no and follow this with a lecture about saving money, you will be known as the "Tight Parent", the one who never buys anything. Buy something small every now and then. Even offering to purchase some candy or chips at the petrol station can make a difference. Every now and then buy something big that you are sure your kid wants. For example, an i-pod, or a bike. And be generous at birthdays.

This can include taking a special day to go out to dinner, see a movie, and choose a nice gift or receive nice gifts from parents.

Make sure you are an approachable person to talk to. Try your hardest to always be understanding and a good listener. Knowing that they can go to their mum for friendship advice, information on sex and puberty, homework help, or just a hug goes a long way for kids. Not having someone they can talk to can cause kids to retire into a shell, so make sure you talk to them about how they feel regularly.

Be supportive, and never laugh at your kids hobbies, interests or friends. So, your son doesn't want to study medicine and become a doctor? Don't get angry, this is your childs' life and they can make some of their own decisions. Understand that it's okay if your child thinks differently from you. Don't get mad because they have a different opinion to you, or your son wants to become an engineer and not a doctor. Don't laugh at them, or their friends. Who cares if you daughter listens to heavy metal music and wears too much eyeliner? She's still your daughter. And so what if your son is friends with a guy who speaks in a funny accent or who has a different skin color? You might not do what your kids do, but that is their decision, not yours. You have a big impact on their lives already-you choose what school they go to, when they eat dinner, the amount of pocket money they get for doing chores. Don't over do it.

Be able to admit that something you did may have been wrong and don't be afraid to apologize. It might be hard, but it's better for everyone if you just admit to your mistakes and apologize. It saves everyone the trouble of being mad that you're being stubborn and teaches your kids that it's okay to make mistakes, as well as the importance of an apology. Simply calm yourself, evaluate the situation, determine what you did wrong and why. Then apologize and explain how or why you acted the way you did. A good way to start off may be: "I would like to apologize for how I acted earlier, and I realize that I was wrong," then transition into the rest.

Tips

Help your child with their homework. Not only will you know what they're doing in school, but your child will probably start coming to you for help by themselves.
Spend quality time with your child. Play ball with your son or do a craft project with your daughter. And make sure you have fun.


Take your child out to museums, the theatre, classical music concerts, and other cultural events. While they may not like it at the time, they will most likely be grateful when they are older that they have a more well-rounded background.

Always be supportive and accepting.

Always try to be fair.

Don't use the phrase, "I carried you for 9 months!" in an argument. Your kids will most likely not understand what you actually had to go through, and it won't be really effective.

A few other observations from another perspective:

Parents need to teach their children how to be successful adults. Don't routinely do things for your children that they can learn to do for themselves.

Life is a great teacher. Don't be too quick to rescue your child from the results of their own actions if the consequences are not overly severe.

Your child is an individual deserving of respect, not an extension or a reflection of you.

Love them unconditionally; don't force them to be who you think they should be in order to earn your love.

Role Of Women in Marriage & Home


The Lord said: "I will make a help meet." That happened when the man was only in the garden. (Genesis 2:18). (Genesis 2:18). And still narrating the Bible And still narrating the Bible: "From the rib he had removed the man, the Lord God made a woman and was presented to man" (Genesis 2:22) "From the rib he had removed the man , the Lord God made a woman and was presented to man "(Genesis 2:22) I noticed the word "help meet" and "rib" of Adam. I noticed the word "help meet" and "rib" of Adam.

Women are not less than men is because of the same substance of the man. Women are not less than men is because of the same substance of the man. Neither is a suitable patron as what some people think, but it is a "help meet" as said writing. Neither is a suitable pattern as what some people think, but it is a "help meet" as said writing. It is a partner in administering the household under the leadership of men. It is a partner in administering the household under the leadership of men. It is a help meet. It is a help meet.

Well then Proverbs 14:1 says: "The wise woman builds her house, the foolish, with his hands destroyed." If you are wise you will be a help meet, but you can destroy your home.

Ephesians 5:22 says: "Wives, sométanse to their own husbands as to the Lord" and later in

Ephesians 5:33 "that the wife respects her husband." Women instead of riding a feminist movements should fulfil its role within from home. Here are some points to remember about the subjugation of women to male authority: Here are some points to remember about the subjugation of women to male authority:

1. Being in what he does not harm its biblical and spiritual beliefs. Show dignified resistance to wrong. Show dignified resistance to wrong.

2. When it does not harm their physical integrity.

3. Support in all its activities and ideals with love and respect. (If you are not a Christian this could be instrumental in coming to Christ as 1 Peter 3:1,2).

4. Women should leave him to be his head and help you make good decisions. 4. Women should let him be your head and help you make good decisions.

That he is the head and not think well does not mean that you have to stay silent and receive damage.

Let's see what he says Proverbs 31:10-31 on the qualities of the virtuous woman: Let's see what he says Proverbs 31:10-31 on the qualities of the virtuous woman: V.10-is virtuous: I could say "is full of virtues.

" Has qualities holy woman worthy of admiration

V.10-is virtuous: I could say "is full of virtues." Has qualities holy woman worthy of admiration.

V. 11 - Create confidence in the husband: A woman who does not fulfil its role as her husband desconfié it because their attitudes always carry ills.

V. 12 - Hacedora good: Her husband receives no offenses, assault or damaging criticism.

12 - Hacedora good: Her husband receives no offenses, assault or damaging criticism. Not pendenciera or seek litigation with people.Nor is murmuradora and devoted to gossip. Focuses on making good to his family, to his friends, to the needy and the church.

V. 13-19 - worker and head of household: Not a haragana only asks rights rather than sue they earn on their lifestyle. You do not need to fight to win respect. Anda attentive to the needs of home and it's a good administrator of the money, not wasteful. If you can work it does. Although not taken full responsibility, then, the man said: "Your husband is respected in the community, a position between the authorities of the place." (V.23) Women who demand rights, behold their obligations. They may do more than many men if they wanted to.

V. 20 - compassion on the need for others: It is not selfish, or lack of love. I love to the needy. Today women are required to live the principles of the kingdom of God not only with words but with their attitudes towards people in need.While men macho spirit mistreating women and promoting authority they do not deserve nor have won, women could transform the world of people in need. It is not that women are an instrument sex. That is a lie.In light of the women's writing is more than that. Women have always played a pivotal role in biblical scripture. Who was Jesus to death? Who was Jesus to death? Women Who not denied at the time carrying the cross? Women. Who you were born?From a woman. From a Woman. Who prevented the death of the Jews exposing their lives to the King Vashti?A Woman: Esther. It may continue citing more examples of women of God.Women are important to God.
We are looking for women as well.

V. 26 - Wisdom: Your wisdom shown in taking wise decisions in raising their children, things from home and his treatment for the husband.

V. 30.31 - Its beauty is internal rather than external: Not vanidosa nor ostentatious but simple. That may be more admired that teach the body in the streets.

Common questions of women:

1. Do I have to undergo the man even if this does not take his place as head? The truth is that many women do not leave men as the head because they themselves do not take their position.

They have to take control.
Some women say. A) He is not the head. B) does not take the initiative to be head.The women must submit to men forever.What we really can do is

1. Teach a man to be head not taking decisions that belong to him.

2. Show responsibility to the man in the moments that do not wish to take. Find the right time. .

3. Identify the consequences that implies that he did not take his authority.

2. Does Valen my opinions at home? Of course, your ideas are not worth less than men. In reality the decisions of the household would have to be mutually agreed and taking all points of view. If the view of women is not respected it should find a way to make them known explaining the pros and cons of the views of him versus her.

3. Do I have to undergo around and even I stay silent in the face abuse him? The answer is no. As we mentioned at the beginning women should be careful not to respect their rights. You must be careful that the orders it receives no contrary convictions.If so, she may make a dignified resistance, without shouting or blows, with the strength of the word of God and prayer. The role of women at home should not be silent, or a hostile environment and abuse did it. A woman has much to do.Instead of being a passive woman who seeks only their rights should be really concerned about fulfilling its role.The role of women in marriage (entiéndase relationship between husband and wife), and at home (the whole kernel) is important not only because of the responsibility that goes with it socially but by what God says about them.
