Is Your Family Going through Tough Times? How to Help your Children Cope

Let’s face it: we all go through rough times. May it be financial difficulties, loss of a job, sickness, family conflicts, even calamities… these are realities we may find ourselves having to deal with. Whatever life changes these challenges may bring, it will most definitely affect the entire family.

For every parent, as much as we desire to make the world a better place to live in for our children, still we can never guarantee that life will always be smooth-sailing for them.  In fact, it would help our children even more if we teach them early on how to deal with difficult situations.

Keep Christ in Christmas: THE LIGHT OF HOPE

"I’m participating in the KEEP CHRIST in CHRISTMAS Blog Link-Up 2013 sponsored by the  Catholic Bloggers Network ." Be sure to  visit as many links as possible , listed at the bottom of this post. Reflecting on the 1st candle of Advent, the "light of Hope", I was reminded of a story I read as a child.  Most of my contemporaries would probably remember "The Little Match Girl" written by Hans Christian Andersen: It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, for they had belonged to her Mother and the poor little girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling at a terrible rate.

Love at First Sight!

Love is something we experience right from the very moment of our conception.   Inside a mother's womb, the first sound a child listens to is the sweet sound of love beating from a mother's heart.  The first sight a child first learn to appreciate is the tender gaze of a mother's loving eyes.  The first touch a child can feel is the warmth of a mother's embrace.  A newborn baby learns to feel love the minute his heart begins to beat.  Love simply comes naturally for all of us who are blessed to live.  For indeed, LOVE gives birth to LIFE. It is the very essence of our being.  It is the very reason for us to fulfill our purpose and destiny.

KEEPING LOVE IN LENT: A Lot About Love... Inspirations from a 4-Year Old

“I’m participating in the Keeping LOVE in LENT Blog Link-Up 2013, hosted by Raising (& Teaching) Little Saints ,  Truly Rich Mom   and  Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families . We’ll be sharing different ways, tips, stories and real-life experiences that will help us focus on Lenten sacrifices, prayer and good deeds, and how to carry them out with LOVE instead of a GRUMBLE. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of link-up entries." It’s simply amazing how much I can learn from someone so young.  A child can definitely teach us - older ones - a lot about love…  Out of nowhere, my son told me, “ Faith is my life ”.   He was actually referring to his playmate, a girl about his age named, Faith.   I honestly didn't know where he learned to say those words, but in the pureness and innocence of his heart he was happy and proud to express it.   There was another time he came up to...
