I care

As I was browsing the net, I stumbled upon a blog launching a writing contest. Participants should write about how to care for their family and friends. Winners will be picked by the uniqueness and number of their ideas. And I joined. Please give me feedback. Thank You. Here's my entry: Life is very short to live with regrets. So while there is time left, consume all of it showing our care to our loved ones. For we never know how long we will be with them and how long they will be with us. Do not wait until it's too late. Make a move. Not tomorrow, but today. Here are some ways to show our care for our loved ones: 1. Display of Affection. For example, your mother is very tired from work; why not give her a hug and a kiss... This simple gesture would mean that you know that she's tired and you acknowledge all of her sacrifices. 2. Serve. One way of showing that we care is by serving. In an instance, when your parent is rushing a deadline, why not make her a coffee or give her a massage. 3. Be there. Always be there when they need you. Simply, your presence is enough tho show that you care. 4. Listen. Listening to their perspective, problems, success and the like, shows that you care for what they want to voice out. Sometimes also, all they want is someone who will listen to them. 5. Good Advice. When you think your loved one's life is misleading, give good advice. Do not allow her to cross the wrong way. 6. Support. Support them in any way that you can. This can be morally, financially, etc. 7. Give Compliment. Always give compliment to them in order to show that you appreciate them. 8. Celebrate with them. Celebrate with them whenever they have accomplishment, success, etc. This means that you care for the wellness of their lives. 9. Help. Always be ready to lend a helping hand. 10. Be frank. Tell all the bad things you see in them. Yes, somehow they will get hurt but sooner they will realize that all you want is for them to change. 11. Be Trustworthy. Do not break their trust in you, no matter how long or small that is. It is important that we value their feelings. 12. Good Relationship. Build a good and harmonious relationship with them. Avoid the fights and arguments as possible. Have more patience and understanding. 13.Pray for them. When we truly care for them, we pray for them. We pray for their success, wellness, problems, guidance and blessings. 14. Bring them to God. We bring to God the persons we care for. Because life here on earth is only temporary. Bringing them to God allow them to have eternal life in heaven. 15. Love. The greatest of all is LOVE. For we can not care without love. When we truly love them, all the things written above will easily follow. For LOVE is a COMPLETE PACKAGE. And yes that's it. Actually there are 5 more but I decided not to write all of it. I'm afraid you get bored reading this. But what can you say.... :)
