Super Mum

I can't pinpoint the moment when I realised I would never make Mother of the Year.

Where's The Piccolo?

At certain times in life we may feel insignificant and useless. Surrounded by people with greater talent than ours, we are tempted in our weak moments just to settle back and let somebody else do the work.

      మనం ఒకటి గ్రహించాలి, మనవద్ద ఉన్నవి మనం పొందేవి అన్ని కేవలం ఒకే చోటునుండి పొందుతున్నాము. అది కేవలం మన దేవుని నుండియే. మన జీవితంలో ప్రతీ విషయంలో ఆయన మీద ఆధారపడాలి మరియు దేవుడే పునాదిగా ఉండాలి ఆ పునాదే లేనట్లయితే మనం పడిపోయే అవకాశం ఉంటుంది. ఎప్పుడైతే బలమైన పునాదివేసి ఇల్లు కడతామో అప్పుడే ఆ ఇల్లు దృఢంగా మరియు ఎటువంటి పర్యావర ఉపద్రవాలు వచ్చినా నిలబడుతుంది. అదే విధంగా మన నిజ...
