Dear,
I am grateful for my amazing day today for i realized more how is our father always be a king for a daughter.
Just woke up this morning and clean my bad i was heard a voice from my flat mates room, she just back from campus and her father called her lovely daughter with sweetest way and reminds her how to say greetings when you back home. She trying to excuse but her father asking again still with sweetest ways , she looks like 5 years old child and finally she did what her father asking for and then both of them laughing together.They remind how was time goes so fast.
I know it was so long time ago when our parents were teach us about the good and bad things, how to behave and etc. I miss them a lot and miss to back home because i know my Father still doing the same for her 23 years old daughter as her 5 years old daughter, wake me up in the morning, asking for go to church in first Friday in month , walking in the morning, asking for having breakfast. I realized Father Loves never change because of time and i know who ever i will be or wherever i will be i know he loves still be the same.
Parents are Angel in this earth to remind us how our Father in Heaven Loves eternally.

How do you control sex drives? They
can be a real pain sometimes—for girls as well as guys!
It is not wrong to
have sexual desires. It is what we do with them in our thoughts, words, and
actions that can be good or bad. So here are some tips for training.
Don't place yourself in relationships
or situations where you know mistakes will happen. Sometimes we march right
into tempting situations and then blame God that the temptations were too
strong to resist. Surround yourself with good friends, because as Saint Paul
said, “Bad company ruins good morals” (1 Cor. 15:33). We may have heard our
parents say that before, but research backs it up: when most of a teen’s
friends are sexually active, that teen is 31 times as likely to get drunk and
22 times as likely to have smoked pot compared with teens who don’t hang out
with sexually active friends.[1] Other researchers have noted, “only 4
percent of young people whose friends were not sexually active were sexually
active themselves. Amongst those whose friends were sexually active, the
figure was 43 percent.”[2]
If you watch MTV or vulgar sitcoms or
if you read Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, or other things that are impure, get rid
of them. Consider them love pollution. Also avoid being idle. This is the
chief means by which we end up falling into sin. Keep yourself occupied with
friends, service work, sports, hobbies, and similar activities.
This all requires a determination for
purity. But consider how people deny themselves to get the perfect body. If
people spent one-tenth that time caring for their souls, we would be a world
of saints. No one thinks a man is repressive if he eats healthy food to
prepare for a marathon. In the same way, what you are preparing for—love and
holiness—requires serious training. You will not be repressing your sexual
desires but redirecting that energy toward selfless love.
You are not alone in your struggle
with temptation. In fact, even the saints endured similar battles. In the
words of Saint Paul, “I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want
is what I do. . . . But I see in my members another law at war with the law
of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members”
(Rom. 7:19, 23). During this struggle, remember that God’s grace is
sufficient, for his power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).
Ask God for the wisdom to avoid
temptation and the grace to please him. He will give these spiritual gifts
and many others—to those who ask for them. In the words of a wise priest,
“The one obstacle that can turn our lives to misery is the refusal to believe
that God will give us the victory of perfect chastity.”[3]
How do you obtain that victory? Step
number one is prayer. Set a daily prayer time and stick to it. I also
recommend the frequent reception of the sacraments, especially Mass and
reconciliation. The Eucharist is the fountain of purity, so take advantage of
those graces. Going to Mass will not take away all your temptations, but it
will give you the grace of charity. In the Eucharist Christ gives himself
fully to us so that we might give ourselves fully. This is the foundation of
chastity, because love motivates us to live for others instead of for
ourselves. Make time for daily Mass and go whenever possible. If there is a
church in your area that has a Eucharistic Adoration chapel, make frequent
visits to Jesus there. In other words, make your life intensely Eucharistic.
There are many devotions that can
strengthen your life. For example, pray a rosary every day. This takes only
fifteen to twenty minutes, so set some time aside for that. Praying the
stations of the cross is another source of tremendous power that people tend
to overlook. For a simple prayer, quietly and devoutly say the names of
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Take up a devotion to your guardian angel, who is
always there to help you resist temptation. Turn to the Bible, because it is
a great source of grace and consolation whenever we need it. For starters,
read 1 Peter 5:6–10. Lastly, if you're serious about wanting to make moral
progress in your life, find a good confessor or spiritual director. As they
say, “He who has himself as a guide has a fool for a disciple.”

Is it bad to date someone you met online?
Last week I was sitting in my truck at a stoplight when I
noticed a bumper sticker on the car in front of me. It read: “You looked
better on MySpace.” After laughing, I thought of how well this sums up so
many budding online relationships.
When
you meet a person online, both of you can be whoever you want. You choose
what information you disclose and what pictures you share. As a result,
personal faults are easily hidden. So no matter how much time you spend
chatting with the other person online or over the phone, the relationship is
not grounded in reality. In fact, I once received an e-mail from a young man
who said that he had been dating a girl for over a year, “but we’ve never
seen each other in person.”
Because
of Internet technology, people are learning to communicate more effectively
through a computer than face-to-face. Instead of increasing their social
skills, the Internet allows them to hide. For example, a seventh-grader
recently asked me, “Is it wrong to use online dating services?” The guy was
twelve! While I know happily married couples who met through online Catholic
dating services, I have met more teens than I can count who have ended up in
unhealthy relationships that began through chat room discussions or Internet
social networking sites.
Aside
from the obvious risks of meeting strangers online, such relationships have
their own set of problems. For example, a couple who meet online may think
their relationship looks promising because they spend four hours per night
getting to “know” each other online. However, when the two finally meet in
person, the relationship often becomes too physical too fast.
Other
times one person discovers the hidden faults of the other, but feels too
emotionally attached to get out of the relationship. Sometimes meeting a
person online will create a long-distance relationship that never would have
come into existence otherwise. More realistic local relationships are put on
hold in favor of the budding romantic interest who lives eight hundred miles
away.
Therefore I would not recommend starting a dating
relationship with someone you randomly meet online.

Should a person value personality more than attraction?
Many people make the mistake of thinking that they should
pursue a relationship with someone because they feel such strong feelings of
attraction. We are all attracted to what is beautiful, but that does not mean
that we should pursue each beautiful person we see. For example, even in
marriage there may be times when you experience feelings of attraction toward
people other than your spouse. Needless to say, such attractions are not a
sign that you should leave your husband or wife.
Being
attracted to another person is wonderful, and I would not recommend that a
couple get married if they are not attracted to each other. This is the
natural way that God has made us. However, if a woman marries a man only
because of an intense physical attraction, or a man refuses to get married
because he cannot find a Christian Barbie doll, then there is a problem. We
are not to expect flawless perfection in the other. If we do, then the flaw
is not in the others but in us. We may need to readjust our priorities so
that love does not pass us by. As one man said, “God help the man who will
not marry until he finds a perfect woman, and God help him still more if he
finds her.”[1]
The
book of Proverbs says: “Like a golden ring in a swine’s snout is a beautiful
woman with a rebellious disposition. . . . Charm is deceptive and beauty
fleeting; the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised” (Prov. 11:22, 31:30,
NAB). These verses do not mean that physical attraction is bad, but that
other factors, such as the person’s personality and spirituality, are more
important.
When
the beauty fades—and the external beauty will fade—then who are you left
with? Ask yourself this question now instead of later. Look at a same-sex
grandparent of the person you would like to marry. Now add all the internal
qualities that your potential spouse has. Can you say that you would still
want to spend your life with him or her? You should. An easier way to test
your attraction is to pretend you are blind. Now ask yourself how attractive
the other becomes.
A
relationship stands on whatever foundation you choose. If a couple build
their relationship on the foundation of pleasure, the relationship will last
as long as the pleasure is sufficient. If it is based only upon looks, then
when the looks fade, or someone more attractive comes along, the relationship
will also fade.
Since
judgment is easily clouded by physical beauty and the infatuation it
inspires, make sure you have role models who can provide you with guidance.

When should I begin dating?
Let’s
say you're in high school, and you meet a guy or girl whom you would love to
be with forever, but marriage is still a decade away. What do you think would
be more likely to last ten years: a high school relationship or a solid
friendship? The friendship is more easily maintained, and will serve as a
foundation for any lasting love that does unfold. Besides, what is the point
of committing to someone when you know you’re probably going to break up when
you go to college in two years?
What
many people do not realize is that you don’t need to date in high school in
order to get to know the opposite sex or to have a successful relationship in
college. Do not worry that love will elude you if you do not rush into
romance now. Take this time to be free from distractions, and ask yourself
what God wants of you during these years. With all of your vigor and life,
unreservedly give your youth to him. Try to outdo him in generosity, and
watch what happens.
There
is wisdom in taking your time before beginning a committed relationship. For
example, a study of over eight hundred high school students was conducted to
determine how their dating age impacted their sexual behavior. Here’s what
the study found:
Among
the teens who began dating in seventh grade, only 29 percent of boys and 10
percent of girls were still virgins. However, of those who waited until they
were sixteen years old to date, 84 percent of boys and 82 percent of girls
were still virgins.[1] This does not mean that if you started dating early
you will inevitably be sexually active in high school. I started dating in
the fifth grade, which I now realize was pointless, and I still saved my
virginity for my bride.
Taking
your time will not only safeguard your virginity; it will also give you a
better foundation for future relationships. For example, some people spend
their high school years running around trying to find a date, frantic because
everyone else seems to have one. Others always need to be dating someone new.
As soon as one relationship ends, they jump into another because they feel incomplete
without a date. They practically develop ulcers searching for their worth and
their identity in relationships. Still others spend all four years staring
into the eyes of a boyfriend or girlfriend. Their relationship consumes them,
and by the time high school is over they are not sure of their identity or
dreams.
The
high school years are not meant for intense relationships that leave you
feeling as if you would die without the other. This is a time to find out who
you are, discover the world, and set the course for your life.
Everyone
wants the love of another person, but there is a season for everything. Right
now draw near to God so that you understand your worth in his eyes. Many
people leap into relationships where their self-worth depends upon how the
other treats them. Knowing what God thinks of you decreases your chances of
falling into this trap.
So
come to him, listen to his voice, and do whatever he tells you. As one woman
said, “Inviting God to write the chapters of our love story involves work on
our part—not just a scattered prayer here and there, not merely a feeble
attempt to find some insight by flopping open the Bible every now and then.
It is seeking him on a daily basis, putting him in first place at all times,
discovering his heart.”[2] He is the best guide when it comes to
relationships, so stay close to him.
Lastly,
your question presupposes that dating is the only option. It is not.
Currently there is a resurgence of young people leaving behind the modern
concept of dating in favor of courtship.
