In our families we best learn responsibility, generosity, obedience, and fidelity. Many popular books, however, are not exactly the kind you want your kids to read. Should your children come across books that don’t seem to jive with the values you taught them, point out that you believe in the marital commitment and in families that work at resolving problems.

Ok, so we couldn’t resist that play on our magazine’s name. But the point is, everyone in the family should be encouraged to read books.

Parents are often reluctant to spend anything more than a hundred for a book. It does seem risky.

If you choose good authors and award winners, chances are your child will find the book appealing especially if you take the trouble to read it out to him. Even if the child is lukewarm about the book you’ve chosen, don’t despair. Wait a few months and re introduce it. Or wait till your younger child is ready for that particular book.

True, a good school will have a well stocked library. However, owning a book is different. There is no pressure to finish it on the due date, no limit to the frequency of reading, no prohibition against making a dog ears and all the delights of ownership.

“What is Essential is Invisible to the Eye”

Today, more than half a century later, we can found more than ever that the quote is true.

We live in a highly visual world. Music that was “heard” only a decade ago is now “seen” on MTV. Corporate presentations that were handed out in typewritten sheets now use Powerpoint, complete with colored charts and moving images. Television, computer screens and videophones have long replaced the radio, typewriter and the old fashioned telephone.

But dear parents, we also want you to look beyond that. Certainly our children deserve more than a beautifully wrapped package. Listen to what they have to say. It isn’t the gift that counts. Let us help them learn that what we want for families isn’t a commercial holiday, but a chance to recognize the presence of Christ in our lives and the opportunity to share that with others. Let us help them look beneath that pretty face and see that she’s got substance that counts much more.

The beauty is really within, what is really important is the content and not the display. Learn how to appreciate what is really inside learn to believe even if not seen.

Giving gifts can be a breeze, if you knew exactly what the recipient wanted, had the money and the time to go present hunting. But this is not always the case. You are left with option of giving a generic or recycled gift, or worse, no gift at all. Don’t let this happen to you. To add to your gift ideas it is better that you give pets as a gifts.

Why pets are excellent gifts?

1. They last a long time. A dog lives 6 years or more. Even computers don’t last that long without upgrades.

2. They provide entertainment, companionship and unconditional love.

3. Pets teach you patience. How can else you put up with all the toilet bowl drinking, shoe eating, and urine markings.

4. They teach responsibility and caring, specially to kids

5. They test your creativity. You never know what your pet will be doing next. They are lovable creatures with their own personality. And they are a joy to watch as they grow up.

Unconsciously those pets help us in any way that is also good to human being. Allow pets to be with you as part of your family.

You don’t have to starve for six weeks. Just make an effort to sidestep common diet saboteurs, which may be costing you 500 calories a day. Here’s what to skip.

1. Alcohol. It adds empty calories and stimulates your appetite.

2. Baked goods such as cookies, doughnuts, cakes, muffins. In packaged or restaurant portions, these are usually huge.

3. Salty snack foods. Potato chips, pork rinds, and cheese curls offer zero nutrients.

4. Premium ice cream. Everyone’s favourite-except one serving can have about a third of your daily fat.

5. Juices, smoothies. Many bottled fruit and mixed fruit juices are little more than sugary water – with 200 calories plus. Smoothies can easily have double that.

6. Full fat dairy products. Drink a glass of whole milk, and you’re swallowing a hamburger’s worth of fat. Switch to skim, low fat, or low fat soy varieties.

If you have access to the internet, you must get a lot of junk email. Some of these electronic letters grab our attention more than others. Together with get rich quick schemes, there are the so called health alerts from relatives, friends, or even from people we hardly know. Like the following samples:

Shampoo

It is very strong. It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run.

So the hospital checked the ingredients of the product. SLS is really poisonous, if there is an acute ingestion. In other words, if you use shampoo to wash hair and not to quench thirst, then there is no danger of dying from using shampoo with SLS.

Soft drinks

Speaking thirst quenchers, it contains phosphoric acid and ethylene glycol. It supposedly so acidic it can dissolved teeth and bones. Imagine what the drink must doing to you soft intestines and stomach lining. Everything is toxic depending on the threshold limit value of the substance on humans, below which the risk of poisoning is low.

Even water can be toxic. There is such a thing as oxygen toxicity, beyond the acceptable daily intake or if water gets into certain parts of the body. Even medicine can be poisonous. People can overdose.

Toxicity depends on two things: level of the substance in the human body and exposure or duration of exposure.
