International Day of Peace

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless."  
~ Mother Teresa

  

While International Day of Peace is being celebrated throughout the world today, remember that peace starts within our hearts. One thoughtful word, a caring smile, or a single act of kindness may not be enough to change the world, but it can make a difference in someone's day. Let's not forget to be compassionate and kindhearted towards others every day, we don't always know what they could be going through.

Pregnancy over age 50? Possible?

I read Sunday newspaper.  I read Family Circus comic strip.  I burst to tears. I want to be a mother for years and years.   I am 48 and I feel I am too old to start family. 

After evening Mass, I met young parents of twin boys.  Cute and sweet boys!   I took a deep breath and told myself  "don't cry" "don't cry" .  I try my best not to show my tears in the front of  them.

I cried in my car on the way home from Church.  I won't give up my dream. I decided surf the Internet about Pregnancy after 50.  Look what I found.

Meaning that I have to start workout now to slim down my body and bring my healthy eggs back.

Please keep me in your prayer.  Please give me a hug the next time you see me.

Hello friends,
I received comments about my previous post "Pregnancy over age 50? Possible?"
Just thought I want share them with you all.
I cannot reveal their name.

• Please also remember that there are children out there in this world who would love to have you as a parent now.Every day more n more children are taken by the system needing loving n nurturing homes.Being a parent doesn't always have to mean biological children. (Name Withheld)

  
  ================================================
  
  

  I pray that you would want to "find a man" because you feel a vocation to life-giving love within the Sacrament of Marriage.
  

  Children are a fruit of that union, and no man should be seen or used as a baby maker.
  How are you being a gift of yourself to nurture "children" today?
  I know a single woman who is one of the most motherly women I have ever met. She fosters drug babies through the state, and has mothered many, many babies over the years.
  I will offer prayer tonight for your calling to your vocation as a mother. Pope John Paul II says we are all called to take part in spiritual parenting. (Name Withheld)

Labor of Love - Labor Day Greeting
