Today is the first time Rome has experienced so much snow- in so many years,I overheard one lady at the bar mention that it last snowed here in Rome in 1987.It also hailed slightly sometime last year or two years ago but just once.In fact some people went as far as greeting each other Merry Christmas,and some barmen and grown-ups abandoned their workplaces and took time to play snowball 'exchange'.I felt very awed and grateful to my LORDGOD again,as just some time ago I was feeling a bit frustrated for not being able to take my child to the snow.Then he took the snow to us.I JUST PRAISE MY LORDGOD.
Today also is another blessed day as I met with Marta my former employer, (amid the white snow) and she gave me additional workload which translates to more income.GOD BLESS US ALL,TREMENDOUSLY.

The daycare school that my child is attending is holding its Christmas party on the 22nd this month.Every parent is requested to participate wether in decorating the mini auditorium, or cooking something or a stage performance. I have resolved initially,as most parents understandably or expectedly did, to take part in the eating and cooking part. But even before signing the commitment papers,the cooking paper was almost filled up and it was such a shame that only 2 parents committed to risk ruining their 'images' and do some act or singing part. To that,one nice mother suggested that I also do some singing or acting . . . If I must do a stage performance,I prefer to spread GOD's Amazing love by singing this very beautiful, timely song entitled 'This Little Child'. And I humbly ask everybody to pray for me,that I may deliver the Message of GOD's Great Love in strongest terms.PRAISEs BE TO GOD.

She is a very beautiful baroness,judging from her outward appearance you would opine that she's only 18 or twenty years old because she has the body structure of one,with long flowing,shiny black hair neatly kept back with her signature dark sunglasses.She is a perfect picture of beauty and elegance.But she is 54 years old and has two very beautiful children raised in London England, rubbing elbows with Princes Harry and William and the elite royal society and their acquaintances and friends.She jetsets through Europe{London and here in ROme} and America having residences in those prestigious territories. She doesn't worry about money,she can buy anything she wants.On one particular day, she spent more than a thousand Euros,shopping for signature items {bags,sunglass and silk clothing etc. . .} and her friend restrained her from spending more. Although there is no need for her to work and earn a living,she keeps herself busy by painting as it is her inborn talent. She is in the best shape of life,physically, financially and many other ways. May the LORD my GOD bless us with this kind of financial prosperity,as we Praise HIM for all the rest of the Blessings that HE continually bestows upon our family like HIS Health,Strength Peace Mercy and Grace.In the blood of JESUS CHRIST our GOD And SAVIOUR.Amen.To GOD BE The GLORY.

I guess, I was attracted to blogging mainly for the revenue it promised,second;to use this as an instrument to propagate GOD's Love and Grace to us.I can't think of a good third reason.Sorry.But today has been another blessed and great day as the rest that have just passed and for this,I always thank and magnify the LORD JESUS.
I pass this on to EMie and Shimumsy.

Patrizia's garden is located right in our neighbourhood,and the nice thing is that it's full of many fruit bearing trees and herbs that satiate our mouth. Pomegranate is a fruit that I've never encountered before in my life but I just learned that it also contains a lot of vitamins and minerals,as much as the orange fruit does. Patrizia takes very good care of the garden,as is obvious from the images.She also makes available for free to everyone, all the herbs like rosemary,laurel tree and basil. Her garden is also full of many different colorful flowers.
My visiting friends from the U.S, have also seen on a particular Rome street in another historical area, the long line of orange trees with ripe oranges
that have fallen on the ground.Or another area full of chestnut trees where the chestnuts were just being ignored by the people. It's a nice reminder to us,that Italy is a prosperous country,in GOD's rich Grace and Mercy.Praise The Lord. Amen.

With so much changes going on in our today's world, our children are ever exposed to more negative influences,even worse,unheard-of acts.We, as responsible parents should take a deliberate and pro-active and defensive stance against this issue.And what better way,than to instill 'smart' attitude early on in their life.

1. There is no better resource in raising an outstanding child than the biblical principles.
We as finite human beings have our own limitations and fragility,and more often than we realize we unconsciously commit behavioural mistakes or offenses that our children pick up without us,noticing.So the Word Of GOD or the Bible, must compensate in areas where we fail. Proverbs:6 says to "Train Up a child in the way he should go:and when he is old he will not depart from it." This is particularly true wether the training is a positive or a negative one,what we learn from our first years is carried throughout our lifetime,be it attitude or experiences.Let's rely on GOD's Word to guide the path of our children by,introducing them early on to it {the Bible}.

2. Like Mother,Like Father..so is the child.
Be An example. No matter how hard you preach a sermon to your child,to try to correct him/her, if he sees the contrary in your own lifestyle and behaviour,most likely you are only wasting your energy.He will absorb what you show consciously or otherwise. So,be careful what you say and do especially in the presence of little ones and your child.

3. Give her the time of your day.
I can relate to parents,who have to work long hours and then come home to a place that still is filled with chores screaming to be done,like dirty plates {left in the morning rush,maybe?} and dirty mountain of laundry, and laundry that needs to be pressed, or to sum it up a total domestic mess.Sometimes,friends calling can still worsen the day's chores traffic --and then while you are trying your best to rush up the dinner so you can all go to bed early {because tomorrow is another day} your child will throw a tantrum to your get your attention. In this situation,we are tempted to ignore and shrug it up and try to finish what to our judgment are the more important chores.But your child should come first of all. Even in the midst of the seemingly domestically wartorn situation,when your child demands your undivided attention you should make her feel that she's the Priority and that she's the Most important.It's an opportunity for us to build up her self-esteem and self-confidence.Give her all ears even when she speaks,try to participate in her conversation. For a brief time,it doesn't hurt so much to 'neglect' domestic chores if the reason is loving your child.

4. Appreciate Your child. Pay her {Loads of compliments} even when she's just sitting and watching television.Find something through which you can throw her a compliment.Give her tons of hugs and kisses,touch maybe the strongest expression of your love,just as the original man Adam was created by the touch of the Potter's hand-unlike the rest of the creations which were made by the spoken word of GOD.

5. We are all GOD's children.No one child is superior to the other in GOD's eyes.And so,it should be in the eyes of your child.You should not instill ideas that may show her that she's superior or that others are inferior to her. I often say to my child,for example 'Bella is beautiful,just like you.'Or 'Bella is very kind just like you'.The only time that I say others are better than her,is when we see chubbier kids, I say she has grown more because she eats more. As it is,it's not so easy to feed my child or make her eat.
When other kids behave differently {negatively} explain to her why that gesture is not good,the same way that you must not directly and categorically accuse her with words 'you are bad' when she behaves unlikely {as many innocent children do} If you must reprimand her,don't humiliate her in front of others.

6. Be careful what she watches, on TV particularly.Our broadcast and print media seem to have run amuck or uncontrollable with information.In italian Tv for example,while we are watching a wholesome show, there would suddenly pop-up an ad unsuitable for kids, violent and sexual etc.And they don't seem to observe primetime rules,what they can show during certain hours of the day. Generally we opt for children friendly shows,cooking, wholesome, fashion, {but to be honest sometimes I can't resist watching gossip just because I like seeing the lifestyle of the rich and famous}.Otherwise we would be watching the children's educational and Christian programming by TBN Smile Of A Child or her favorite DVD films like Barbie series or timeless fables by Walt Disney like Cinderella and the like.

7. Dress her up very well wether indoor or outdoors,it gives her a sense of pride.When I was a little child,I used to feel inferior when I saw other children dressed up very well,and I,otherwise.

8. Instill in her a positive attitude by teaching her gratitude.To see the positive side of life,things to be thankful for Everyday.I pray out loud every night in her behalf,as if it was her, thanking the Lord JESUS for all the good things she received during the day.She's slowly picking that attitude now,in that on some nights she would recite the 'good things' of the day on her own.Amen.To GOD Be the Glory.
Well here are just some of the tips I realized on my own endeavor and from my own experience I hope that they were beneficial in many ways to many.GOD BLESS us all,Tremendously.

Our church ICF (International Christian Fellowship) recently hosted a romantic evening for all couples, at the lounge in our church, with our guest Pastor Mark Schwarzbauer at the helm of the event, and I guess he and his vey beautiful and sweet wife Jill will be staying with us until the first week of October after which time they will be cruising across Europe until they return to Florida USA their homecountry.



Pastor Mark who is also a Doctor in Psychology, discussed the elements that enhance the marriage relationship and yes, even the sexual part within the biblical standpoint.We enjoyed the candlelit and sumptuous dinner graciously served by volunteer members,every table was reserved with the couple's names.
