Cherishing The Gift Of Life

 

The greatest gift and blessing that we received from God is the gift of Life. We should be thankful for the many gifts that we receive everyday. Out of the many gifts, being able to wake up every single day is the one that we should cherish the most. A very close friend of mine will be celebrating their Father's death anniversary tomorrow and she is already busy preparing the things and food that they will be bringing in the cemetery. Since she is the eldest among the siblings, she has to take care of everything for the commemoration of their Father's death anniversary. I accompanied her to the market today , to help out in buying ingredients for the meals that they will be bringing.

After more than an hour at the market, we bought everything that she needs. I originally wanted to help in cooking, but my husband and I, together with our son, had to go somewhere very important. On our way home, we pass by a flower shop and I got interested in one of their flower arrangement. We stop by to buy the flowers that is beautifully arranged in a clear glass vase. At first glance, I really thought that the roses and white lily arrangement is a natural plant. But my eyes totally deceived me, they are actually silk flowers. We will be bringing these pink rose and lily devotion silk arrangement at the cemetery tomorrow. Good thing about silk flower arrangements, is that they do not wither and die, unlike the cut natural flowers. They are maintenance free too, since you don't have to water them everyday or trim and fertilize the plant just like the natural plants need in order to grow and survive.

Life is really unpredictable, we can't tell until when are we gonna stay in this world. We should know how to make each moment count. Also be sure to spread good deeds and happiness because it will definitely be recognized by many even at your death anniversary.

The Significance Of Thank You

 

A "thank you" could mean so much to someone. It is a sign of your appreciation, gratitude or a polite expression used when acknowledging a gift, service, or compliment. There are many ways to show someone how we are very thankful for their help. A gift could also also be a way we could show how thankful we are towards that person. Usually, we would give cut flower bouquets to show appreciation, but that could only last for a day or two the most. What if we could give something that will grow and blossom just like our heartfelt thanks.

Now we can, with a selection of thank you plants which includes choices for friends, family, co-workers, and anyone who has gone out their way just to help. A friend of mine recommend these thank you plants and she also told me that she had been ordering online through a trusted website. The deliveries were always on time and the plants are really beautiful and well-maintained. Selecting the right kind of plant for a specific occasion is also simple, since plants are categorized accordingly. Our symbol of gratitude would always be remembered as the plants grow with that person everyday. There are people who actually don't know how to say their thank you, giving plants as a gift is actually a better way of showing how you appreciate all the help you get from that person. Good manners are a code of conduct or rules, based on common sense, courtesy and usage. Gratitude is one of these rules.

It's true, No man is really an island. Saying thank you acknowledges our dependence on others. Always remember, if we start chipping away at gratitude and common courtesy, life becomes very unpleasant. People gives these gifts because they are looking for recognition, respect and affection,

Giving Gifts On A Non-Special Day

 

Gifts are mostly given on special occasions. But there are those people who gives gifts even on ordinary days. They are the kind of people who wants to make an ordinary day extra special. Lucky for those who were able to meet this type of person, because they know how to value relationship and most especially, they know how to value you as a person. I could say that I am one of those lucky people who have met a nice and loving man. My husband knows how to make an ordinary day extra special even in his own simple ways. He will not shower you with extravagant gifts but he will give what your heart desires. Since, he knows that I am a plant lover, he would usually visit a flower or a home and garden shop to check if there is anything new that I would love to have.

He recently bought a bougainvillea bonsai plant, for no special reason. I was very surprised that day when he arrived home holding a pot of flower. He was smiling widely and that gesture truly melted my heart. Ever since that day, I know that our love for each other grew stronger. We also realized that, if you are married, you'll know that happiness in your marriage is as essential as food is for hunger. Surprising each other with little gifts or tokens of appreciation. This will make the moment even more special. It's always the thought that counts. Gifts need not be extravagant or painfully expensive, even a little something would make a big difference to create warmth and sweet memories.

Starting from that one bougainvillea bonsai gift that he gave me. Now, we have a garden full of different flowers, trees and other potted plants. Always remember to marry someone you love exactly as they are, and be sure that they feel the same way towards you. That way, you'll never expect more from each other, than being happy and contented with just being together.

An Unexpected Lucky Charm Gift

 

We are almost done with the our baby's new room. Just a couple of days more, and everything will be fully furnish.The truth is that, we are also done with the baby shower before we could even start with the nursery room. So we didn't get to tour our guests to our baby's new room. I thought that gifts for our second child would be over, since the baby shower was celebrated a month ago.But one of our child's soon to be Godmother sent another gift. We were very surprised and thankful towards her. She is a college friend of mine, and she is as excited as I am for the coming of our new baby.

She sent a little cutie lucky bamboo arrangement that has a great deal of charm and character. It definitely look great with the ponytail plant that we bought the other day. The little cutie lucky bamboo arrangement features two spiral lucky bamboo stalks that looks fun and whimsy. It is ideal not only for decorations at home but as a gift as well. Taking care of lucky bamboo arrangement maybe a bit complicated. you have to make sure that it receives bright, filtered sunlight and avoid the direct light because it will scorch the leaves. Because they are more tolerant of too little light than too much. Just make sure not to place them in front of air conditioning or heating vents. Godmothers can be considered as second parents to a child. So we must choose carefully those people who can fulfill those duties or responsibilities.

Life is full of surprises. We may never know what the future holds for us. But, at least choose the right people to trust. I am thankful that God has directed me to the path of meeting the right kind of people. Let us celebrate life and be thankful for every blessing that we receive each day.
