Happy marriage is made by God.

Marriage is a long road to happiness. It can start with many hurdles and obstacles, but eventually it spreads to greener pastures of enjoyment and contentment.  Life is unpredictable and when we fall in love with this specific person, it is good if both of you have the same values, same morals, and same religious background. Life has too many issues as is, without having more issues with the basics of marriage. 

I was lucky to have fallen in love with a guy who was raised in a similar religion as I, and with same out look on life, like me. Looking back, I am grateful for this and acknowledge that God was very much in my life and took care of me, when I was young and lacked wisdom. 

On my 18th birthday I prayed to God to give me a gift. He did, I met my future husband then. What drew me to him was that he was so serious about life and about relationships, he was 4 years older, and to an 18 year old that is incredible. The guys I knew were flirtatious and not serious to have a relationship. 

We got married when I was 21, and we started our marriage with a clean slate of trust and love. God was good to us, now 20 years later, I am amazed at His provision in our life. His constant care for us, and our love that grew with the years. 

If you are still single and are looking for your other half, remember to include God in your love life, He is the one who can write a beautiful love story that can last through all the obstacles, through all the problems and issues of marriage.

How to make a baby stop crying.

I was holding my super cranky 2 month old in my arms, as he kept fussing, crying, flapping his arms and legs all over. The only way he would take his nap if I was breastfeeding him and rocking him to sleep, as soon as I scooted away to do other 'normal mom duties', he would wake up to fuss again. So I was holding him, trying to calm him down, when my 5 year old came up, and asked why he was crying. I told her that possibly his tummy was upset. So in childish faith, she puts her hand on his tummy and in her clear voice she tells him, “May the Lord heal your tummy! Don’t worry baby, Jesus will heal you soon.” To my surprise the little one stopped crying and soon enough he fell into a quiet sleep. I was amazed! Truly only a child’s faith can do that. Try it; it may work for you as well.

So if you want your baby to stop crying, pray to God, who hears every whisper, and He will help you.

Cherish each moment.

Each moment is precious, each moment is timeless. Especialy if it is a good, lovely moment. I tend to think about the bad moments in my life, and from thinking of them I tend to make myself depressed, upset, or angry. Why is it that the bad moments tend to wrap themselves into our minds, and keep coming back to annoy us. I noticed that when I look at the beautiful, lovely, precious moments that surround me, they make the bad memories disapear and make me a happy, peaceful person.

Today is Mothers Day. I hope all of you had a nice day, full of good, happy moments. Today I want to wrap myself in the precious, lovely moments of my life, so when the unpleasant thoughts or experiences come my way I can bring out the beautiful moments in my memory and not let the bad moments influence me or stress me out. Well, at least its worth a try.

Today I will cherish the laughter I shared with my husband.

Today I will cherish the touch of my loved ones.

Today I will enjoy my precious children.

Today I will enjoy the love they share... and all the kisses...

Today I will enjoy the beauty, and forget the ugly...

Today I will enjoy the bloom of a rose, for tomorrow it will wilt and lose its petals...

How do you deal with the unpleasantness of life, the unpredictable, the ugly?
