WHEN PARENTS GET OLD ...
Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow ...
Let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child ...
Let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win ...
Let them enjoy their friends just as they let you …
Let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them ...
Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away ...
Let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you ...
LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!

You might be praying and it seems as if heaven is silent ...
If they prayer is not withhold....
Then bear it in mind that God wants to use that silence to fulfill his program in your life...
Don't be weary in patience...

Did you know that even your enemies can sharpen you?

The Israelites had to go to the Philistines to sharpen their weapons (1 Samuel 13:20). God can use your opposition to refine you!

That difficult boss? Teaching you patience and endurance.

That financial struggle? Sharpening your faith in divine provision.

That spiritual attack? Strengthening your prayer life.

Instead of complaining about the resistance, ask God to sharpen you through it! Because when your weapons are ready, the battle will not find you weak!

Pray: “Lord, use every challenge to sharpen me for greatness!”

FOOLISH HABITS OF A BABY WIFE....

1. GOING TO SLEEP IN KIDS' OR SPARE BEDROOM OR SITTING ROOM WHEN THEY HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING :

This is a sign of avoidance and unwillingness to resolve conflicts. A mature partner would stay and work through the issue, rather than running away from it. It's being childish.

2. TELLING HER HUSBAND AS NOT MAN ENOUGH:

This is a form of emotional abuse and undermines the partner's self-esteem. A mature partner would communicate constructively about issues without personal attacks. Very few men can survive this injury.

3. "THERE ARE MANY MEN OUT THERE WHO CAN MARRY ME WHEN I LEAVE THIS MARRIAGE":

This is a threat and a form of emotional blackmail. A mature partner would address problems in the relationship directly and work towards a solution.

4. BEING QUICK TO GET angryY ABOUT EVERYTHING:

Excessive anger and overreaction to minor issues is a sign of immaturity. A mature partner would respond with more patience and understanding.

5. CAN'T JUST FORGIVE, KEEPS HURTS IN HIS OR HER HEART:

Holding onto grudges and resentment is a barrier to healthy conflict resolution. A mature partner would be able to forgive and move forward.

6. ALWAYS BEING RIGHT , UNABLE TO ADMIT BEING WRONG :

Lack of humility and unwillingness to compromise is a sign of immaturity. A mature partner would be open to different perspectives and willing to acknowledge their own mistakes.

7. LOVING PARENTS AND SIBLINGS MORE THAN SPOUSE:

This indicates a lack of emotional investment in the marriage and a failure to prioritize the spousal relationship.

8. FEELING ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING:

A sense of entitlement and unrealistic expectations is a sign of immaturity. A mature partner would have a more balanced view of the give and take in a relationship.

9. FIGHTING SPOUSE'S FAMILY DIRTY:

Engaging in petty conflicts and disrespecting the spouse's family is a sign of immaturity. A mature partner would strive to maintain positive relationships with in-laws.

10. ISSUING THREATS OF DIVORCE , SEPARATION, OR VIOLENCE:

These are manipulative and abusive tactics that have no place in a healthy, mature relationship.

11. THINKING THEY ARE TOO IMPORTANT IN THE LIFE OF THEIR SPOUSES:

This indicates a lack of understanding of the importance of mutual respect and independence in a marriage.

12. BRAGGING ABOUT WHAT SHE IS DOING TO SUPPORT THE HUSBAND:

This suggests a need for external validation and a lack of genuine concern for the partner's well-being.

13. GETTING MUTE ON THE HUSBAND JUST BECAUSE HIM LOOKED AT ANOTHER WOMAN AT THE MALL

If she caught her husband looking at a woman and appreciating her looks when they were together at a shopping mall, she stops talking to her husband for months, stops cooking his favorite meal and can't even sleep on the same bed with him.

14. DARING HER HUSBAND TO GET ANOTHER WOMAN AS IF SHE DOESN'T CARE.

Daring a man to get another woman is not only childish but dangerous, because not every husband is a believer.

15. RESENTING KIDS BECAUSE HUBBY HID THEM FROM HER

When she discovers that her husband hid the fact that he had a child/children before meeting her, she immediately resents those kids.

MARRIAGE IS NOT CHILD'S PLAY.

SOMETHING HONEST AND PURE ABOUT BRC'S CODE

the vast, ever-evolving world of digital currencies, BRC stood out as a unique and ambitious cryptocurrency. It wasn't the largest or the most well-known, but it had a charm—an underdog story of resilience. BRC had always felt overshadowed by its more popular peers, Bitcoin and Ethereum. But BRC didn't mind; it knew that sometimes the quietest voices held the most potential.

Then, one day, it met a new user, Lily. She was a curious investor, always on the lookout for the next big thing. At first, she didn’t notice BRC. She was focused on the heavy hitters, the flashy altcoins that made headlines daily. But over time, she found herself intrigued by BRC's simplicity, its promise of transparency, and its unique algorithm. It wasn't just another currency—it had a heart, a purpose.

As she started to use BRC more, she noticed its growing presence in decentralized applications and its supportive community of developers. There was something honest and pure about BRC’s code. It wasn’t trying to be the biggest or the richest; it simply wanted to be part of the digital future.

Soon, Lily found herself invested—not just financially, but emotionally. She saw potential in BRC that others couldn’t. It wasn’t just a coin—it was a story. A story of quiet ambition, of growth that came not from hype, but from steady, genuine progress.

In the quiet nights, as she watched BRC’s value rise slowly but steadily, Lily realized that her connection to BRC had grown into something more than an investment. It had become her love story, written in the blockchain, one transaction at a time. And in the world of cryptocurrency, where everything moved so fast, she knew that sometimes the most lasting relationships were built on trust, patience, and a belief in something real.

MARRIAGE IS FOR PEACEMAKERS

1. Marriage is for two people who would rather maintain their love than win arguments against each other

2. Marriage is for people who know when not to speak till tempters cool

3. Marriage is for emotionally stable people who are able to not act or say irrational things just because they feel like it

4. Marriage is not a place for wars, settling scores and tit for tats, but a place for seeking solutions

5. Marriage is not a place that adds to your stress but a safe haven, where you run to after a hard day

6. Marriage is for two people who choose not to react to issues but to respond to them. Reacting is self seeking, instant and not thought through the consequences; responding is looking out for the best interest of the both of you and being prudent

7. Marriage is a place where anger is seen as a normal human emotion but that anger gets neutralized with love so that it doesn't become a threat

8. Marriage is not a place for shouting matches, insults, violence and the throwing of glasses; but a place for mature conversations, mutual understanding and the willingness to learn

9. Marriage is a place where the two prefer to talk about sensitive issues when they are both calm, not defensive

10. Marriage is a place for constantly making up, not going to bed mad at each other

11. Marriage is a place for exercising patience, the two don't put pressure on each other

12. Marriage is a place for kisses, hugs, gifts and words of affection that bring down walls

13. Marriage is a place where pride and ego is put down and the two are caring enough to reach out to each and initiate reconciliation when they have wounded each other

14. Marriage is a place of perspective. You don't destroy your entire marriage that you have built all these years just because of a misunderstanding

The strongest marriages are made of husbands and wives who are peace makers. Do you love peace enough to give it to your spouse? Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called children of God.

Patience is the key to greater glory

A father used to say to his children when they were young: —When you all reach the age of 12 I will tell you the secret of life. One day when the oldest turned 12, he anxiously asked his father what was the secret of life. The father replied that he was going to tell him, but that he should not reveal it to his brothers.
—The secret of life is this: The cow does not give milk. "What are you saying?" Asked the boy incredulously. —As you hear it, son: The cow does not give milk, you have to milk it. You have to get up at 4 in the morning, go to the field, walk through the corral full of manure, tie the tail, hobble the legs of the cow, sit on the stool, place the bucket and do the work yourself.
That is the secret of life, the cow does not give milk. You milk her or you don't get milk. There is this generation that thinks that cows GIVE milk. That things are automatic and free: their mentality is that if "I wish, I ask..... I obtain."
"They have been accustomed to get whatever they want the easy way...But no, life is not a matter of wishing, asking and obtaining. The things that one receives are the effort of what one does. Happiness is the result of effort. Lack of effort creates frustration."
So, share with your children from a young age the secret of life, so they don't grow up with the mentality that the government, their parents, or their cute little faces is going to give them everything they need in life.
Remember
"Cows don't give milk; you have to work for it." Invest and invest, work and walk through the values with patience and the result will be massively positive to make you wealthy.

Mid-Term Break Reflections and Reviews.

Not Every Child is the Sharpest Pencil—But Every Pencil Can Be Sharpened

In every classroom, there are students who grasp concepts quickly and others who need more time and guidance. Not every child starts as the "sharpest pencil in the box," but with patience, the right tools, and consistent support, every child can be sharpened.

As educators and parents, our role isn’t just to celebrate the naturally sharp ones but to nurture those who need extra sharpening. With encouragement, tailored instruction, and belief in their potential, every child can grow, learn, and shine in their own way.

Let’s commit to sharpening every pencil in our care. #EveryChildMatters #GrowthMindset #TeachingWithLove

The Difference Between the Rich and Poor is This One Skill…
Delayed Gratification is the secret to wealth.

Broke people want instant rewards (spending all their money).
Wealthy people wait (invest first, enjoy later).

Mastering patience = Financial success!
