Giving thanks

Like most families, my family value to always pray during meal time. We always give thanks for the grace God provides for us. And that it will give our body the nourishment we needed. It always feels good to express the gratitude for the food. It makes us all eat more mindfully and enjoy the food more. I am sad knowing that some families pray and give thanks after they are full and satisfied. Isn't it unfair or something? What do you think?

Working in groups

There are a lot of things that cannot be accomplished with only one or two people. Several situations need a group of people to work hand in hand in order to finish a project just like this one in the photo. Do you think one or 2 people will finish this in a specific time? It needs a group of people to do and finish the building in a target time. A group is a collection of three or more people who meet on a regular basis for a common purpose. People work in groups to achieve what they are unable to achieve on their own. Groups usually produce bigger results. When people realize that change, of whatever kind, is needed, then working as a group is often the best way to achieve the change. Groups can be a force to reckon with in development work. In a group, each member brings experience which may be of great help to the group. Gathering people’s wisdom through sharing knowledge and experiences can help find solutions to problems.

Practice thanksgiving

The vegetales song "Thankfulness" keeps on popping in my mind today. I am reminded to give thanks to God and people is the easy way to start a joyful day.We should say a prayer of thanks for everyone and everything you come across today. No exceptions! Turn on the light and bless those who discovered electricity. Bless the farmers who grew the food you’re packing in the kid’s lunch. When you get in the car, bless the automotive engineers who invented seat belts. Bless the person in the office elevators who’s talking top volume on her cell phone. . for reminding you what not to do. If we make this a habit, I am sure that we will have delightful days.

Facts about mosquitos

Mosquitoes are dangerous when they carry with them causative agents of certain disease. It is recommended that we should clean our surroundings in order to chase them away. These are the facts about mosquitoes.

• Anopheles mosquitoes are distinguished from other mosquitoes by their ‘tail in the air’ posture.
• When mosquitoes bite humans they suck up blood. If the person they bite has malaria, parasites in this blood breed and develop in the mosquito. When the mosquito feeds on another person, parasites are injected with the mosquito’s saliva.
• Every two or 3 days throughout their life, the female mosquitoes seek blood, which is used to provide protein for development of their eggs.
• Almost all Anopheles mosquitoes usually feed at night. After feeding, mosquitoes usually rest on the walls or ceiling while they digest the blood.
• Anopheles mosquitoes usually lay their eggs in puddles (shallow water) and irrigation water, not in smelly polluted water or water-filled garbage (in which Culex and Aedes mosquitoes lay).
• The eggs hatch into larvae which float parallel to the surface. After about a week at tropical temperatures, the larvae have grown up and emerge as adult mosquitoes from the water.
