Hi friends! How are you? Allow me to share something that happened recently. While I was taking coffee in a cafe, I saw a teenager answering back and cussing his old mom who was reprimanding him. Many people witnessed the incident. Some people walking in the street stopped. They were disturbed and alarmed. I feel that there were people who would like to help and intermediate. It was really a humiliating and embarrassing situation. There were mixed feelings and reactions from people who saw what happened. I only had one feeling then. I pity the child for he does not know how to treat well and respect the person who carried him in her womb for 9 months, took care of him for years and loves him so much. I feel sorry for the old mother for the humiliation, hurting words and disrespectful gesture she received from the person for whom she sacrificed her life, time and resources. This incident made me think of my own mother.
I’m so blessed that I have a mother whose love for me is unfathomable. She has been by my side since I was born. She is ready to lend her listening ears when I have stories and problems to share. She extends her shoulders where I can cry on when I’m down and hurting. She offers her hand when I need assistance and help. Even though I hurt and disappoint her sometimes, she continues to forgive and accept me. Nothing can be compared to the selfless love she has for me. I won’t exchange her for something/someone else. To me she is the greatest mom in the world. At present, I miss her so much. I have my own family now. And we live in a separate house. Though we are far from her, I make it a point to visit her regularly and greet her on special days. She is my exemplar of character, good values, maternal love and good parenting. And so, I am trying to be like her in the way I rear and take care of my kids.
Mothers’ Day is an opportune time for us to give honor to our mothers who play a vital and significant role in our lives. Without them, we would not be here. Without their love and care, we would not become good persons. On this day, we give back to our mothers the love and care they have given us. Let’s make this day a special and memorable one for them. Let them feel that they are loved. No matter happens they will forever be etched in our hearts. Indeed, they are angels in human form! They are heaven-sent!
Hi friends! Are you looking for a special and unique gift this Mothers’ Day. You mom will surely like, appreciate and treasure this.

While I was doing the chores at home and my kid was watching his favorite cartoon show, I overheard a line from Winnie the Pooh, “There’s no such thing as too much hug!” This simple line made me think of the importance of body gestures in relationships. Oftentimes I see people expressing their love through gestures which may seem insignificant and meaningless, but may have have a great impact and effect in relationships. A mother hugging her crying baby may give the baby security and comfort. A father patting the back of his child with low self-esteem may help his child to believe in himself, and encourage him to give his best. A stranger introducing himself and shaking the hand of another person may send a message of trust and commitment. A couple’s kiss may express their love, intimacy and passion. Giving a person a high five may brighten and make his day. These are just some of the many gestures we can use to express our feelings and emotions. The body is a channel and extension of our thoughts and emotions.
Each person is gifted with 5 senses, namely sight, hearing, speech, smell and touch. We use our eyes to see, our ears to hear, our lips to speak and our nose to smell. Each of the aforementioned senses is limited only to a single sense organ. But, the sense of touch is not merely limited to the fingers, but can be felt and activated in almost all areas of the body. Every area of the body is covered with receptors which are responsible for our sensation and feeling. Once a receptor is pressed and activated, it sends a message to the brain via nerves. The brain interprets the message as hard or soft, hot or cold, light or heavy, smooth or rough, etc. The sense of touch is so special compared with other senses.
According to experts, touch has psychological and pathological effects. Touching eases pain and lessens anxiety. A body message releases stress. A warm touch of a parent may boost a child’s self-esteem. Touching another person brings about medical benefits such as slowing the heart rate, dropping blood pressure and speeding recovery from illness. No wonder why both ancient and modern healers have to touch a sick person in curing a him/her. There is power in touching! These are just some of the many wonders of touch.
Touch is a love language. It is a meaningful and physical expression of one’s love. It can actually communicate love and care 10 times louder than words, and 10 times clearer than gifts. Touch is so powerful, that it can make or break a relationship. And so, we need to use it well. I’ve heard reports of couples who got separated due to physical abuse, that is, abuse in touch, like slapping, hitting, punching, kicking, etc. This abuse should not be tolerated because it does not build healthy relationship. Body gestures that hurt are manifestations of anger, unforgiveness, violence, lust and hatred inside a person’s heart. On a positive note, touch contributes to the deepening of intimacy and strengthening of love in a relationship. The heart can’t contain the feelings, and so there is a need to express it through a kiss, a hug, a touch, a pat, a handshake, a caress, etc.
Who among your loved ones need to be loved through this language? It’s time to get out of our comfort zone, reach out and spread love. Give your spouse a morning kiss. Embrace your kids when they go to bed. Hold the hands of our friends. Shake the hands of your co-workers. Put your hands on the shoulders of your parents. Touch hearts! Love people today!
You might be surprised, your touch may not merely bring about love, but healing, therapy, comfort and joy as well. Use the power of touch in your relationships and you will see them grow and blossom before your eyes! Let’s listen to Winnie the Pooh’s words of wisdom, “There is no such a thing as too much hug!”

Actions speak louder than words. Although my parents will not say it, I believe that this is their favorite motto. I seldom hear them saying “I love you.” But, I can truly feel that they love me through the things they are doing for me.
First, let’s talk about my loving mom. Every time I visit her home, she always cooks and serves me my favorite dishes. Since I live in a separate home with my kids, I still miss the things that my mom is doing for us, her children. What my mom has been doing for our family is still fresh in my mind. Her day starts early. She used to cook our breakfast before we go to school. While we are taking our meal, she would prepare our school uniform and the bags we would bring to school. When we leave for school, she would wash the dishes and clean the entire house. At midmorning, she would cook lunch for my father and my younger siblings, then washes the dishes afterwards. In the afternoon, she would go to the grocery store to buy items and food that will be needed for the next day. Then, she prepares our appetizing dinner in the evening, and washes the dishes after dinner. She even manages to help us in our assignments and lessons in school. If there will still be time, she will wash the clothes, and iron them. She retires late at night. This has been her daily routine for many years. She never gets tired, bored and burned out. Why? It is a labor of love.
Now, let’s talk about my responsible father. He is always there to help me. I can still remember him driving us to school every morning and fetching us in the afternoon when my siblings and I were still studying. My dad is just a call away. When my car got towed, he rushed to the place few minutes after I had called him. When my kid got locked up in the bedroom, he came to the rescue. During my first year of living in a separate house, he extended his assistance to us in fixing plumbing and electrical problems. That’s my dad! He never runs our of energy to help us. Why? It’s a labor of love!
There are people who express their love through acts of service. They do them without being told, because it is their nature and their love language. They feel content, fulfilled, happy and appreciated when they serve people. Loving acts are living expressions of love. They have more impact and more meaning. They will never be forgotten. They will forever be etched in the hearts of people dear to you.
Be creative in serving your loved ones. Surprise them! Know what they like. Love them in the way they want to be loved. Get out of your comfort zone and invest in your relationships. Serve your spouse a breakfast in bed. Pause from your busy schedule, and accompany your kids in their sports events, dance contests or buying their clothes. Help your friends in their chores. Feed and take care of a sick family member. Pay your parents a visit, give them a relaxing massage. Bear in mind that actions speak louder than words. Words are not enough. They should be translated into actions to make love real and tangible.
When is the last time you served your spouse, your kids, your family and loved ones? What’s the last deed you have done out of love? Here’s the challenge for you. Create a list of acts of service you plan to do for your loved ones. At the end of the week, check what you will be able to accomplish. Expect that your relationships will never be the same again!

Hi! I want to tell you something about my special friend. Since we became friends, I have been her shopping companion. Every month, she invites me to accompany her in going to malls and stores, and buy stuff like cards, home decorations, shirts, perfume, food, jewelries and other things. Even though she does not have enough money sometimes, she makes it a point to shop once a month. Out of curiosity, I asked her about this intriguing monthly hobby of her. “What are these for? When will you use them?” I was surprised by her answer, “I will not use them.” “What!”, I replied, “Why are you buying things if you won’t use them? Why are you wasting your money?” With a smile on her face she answered, “They are not mine. I will give them to my friends and loved ones.” After years of accompanying her in shopping, it’s only then when I discovered that she does not miss sending gifts to her loved ones and friends on their birthdays, special occasions and holidays. She loves giving gifts as expression of her love and appreciation for a person. I believe that this is also her love language. The way we often express our love to your friends is the way we want to be loved as well.
Gifts are concrete, visible and tangible expressions of our love for others. The price of the gift does not matter. In the language of love, a brand new car has the same value as a simple card. It is the thoughts that count. What is important is that you remember the person on his/her special day. Have you experienced being ignored, left out and abandoned? It’s also the feeling when special days that mean to you are forgotten by people dear to you. There are many people in a relationship who broke up for not being remembered and not receiving gifts on their birthdays. There are many married couples who separated for consistent disregard, and not receiving gifts on their anniversaries. There are many friends who fought for not greeting each other and not receiving gifts during holidays. It may seem simple and small, but it means a lot to people whose love language is receiving gifts. It’s the fuel to his love tank. It’s the fire that ignites his heart. It’s the energy that animates his life. It’s the oxygen that sustains him. It’s everything to him.
When is the last time you sent gifts to your loved ones? It’s time to express your love concretely through gifts. Invest in your relationship! In the end, it’s the love we share that will last and count. I personally recommend this website. Check out great gifts at affordable prices you can send your loved ones.

One time, my 15-year old nephew asked me a question that surprised me. I was not expecting that he would ask me this question, “Does my father love me?” I did not see any valid reason for him to ask me this. Without second thoughts, I answered “Yes, of course, he loves you so much.” Then, I began rationalizing, groping for answers and providing explanations to convince him that his father loves him very much. I told him that his father has been working hard just to provide for his needs. During birthdays, holidays and special occasions his father would never forget to give him gifts. His father would give him any amount of money he would ask from him. His father sent him to a prestigious school for him to have a good education and bright future. His father would buy him expensive branded clothes. His father hired 2 nannies who would take care of him. I even told my nephew that he is luckier that other kids because he has a dad who is a responsible person and good provider. After hours of debate and persuasion that seemed would not end, he did not change his conviction as if he did not hear anything from me. He still doubted his father’s love for him. Why?
Since I was not able to convince him after all the efforts of I did, I asked him the reason for asking the question. He gave me a simple answer that made me rethink, “I have all the things that I need, but my father is not always there for me.” This shocked me and made me pause and reflect. I realized that my nephew has a point. What would he do with all the expensive stuff and the large amount of money he has if he seldom sees his father. Even though his father is so sincere in expressing his love to my nephew through gifts this love will not be appreciated and recognized. For a long time the father has not loving his child in the way the child wants to be loved. And so, the child does not feel his love. Quality time is love language of the child.
Quality time is spending time with each other with undivided attention. It’s not simply eating together, playing together, or doing something together. It’ “being” together. It’s a “being-to-being” encounter, a person-to-person encounter. The activities we do together may not matter more. It’t the quality of time we spend together. The activities that we do are just opportunities or instruments through we can share ourselves with each other. It’s not the quantity of time that matters, but the quality of time.
When we spend quality time with our loved ones, we enter into another world where there are no paper works, deadlines, meetings, work stress, business pressure, memos, etc. It’s a realm where only you and your loved ones exist. We share our stories, joys, griefs, sorrows, dreams, triumphs, secrets, and our very own selves with each other. No phone calls, worries, fears, customers, bosses, etc. can disturb us. It’s a radical stop from the daily routine of life. It’s a special world where love, joy, peace and intimacy overflow. A minute of Quality Time cannot be compared with a thousand days of Time spent with divided attention and disruptions!
How much QUALITY TIME have you spent with your loved ones? It’s time to invest you time in your relationships!
Friends, I want to recommend you this book in helping you deepen your relationship with your loved ones. This book has done a lot of marvelous things in my life! I hope it will help you as well!
