A Valentine's Day Gift Suggestion

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. In fact, it is less than a month away to February 14, 2009. If you are a wife or a mother, do you really want another bunch of flowers that will wilt in just a few days? Or that favorite box of chocolate that will add pounds and inches to any part of your body where you actually don't want those added pounds and inches?

Then you may want to consider asking your husband for a copy of the book, Mom's A Stewardess (Or Why There is No Vacation from Your Vocation) -- Stories of Stewardship by Angelica Bautista Viloria (yes, that's me!). The book is published by Claretian Publications and is available in National BookStore, Powerbooks, and BestSellers branches nationwide. It is likewise endorsed by best-selling author Atty. Alex Lacson, Bishop Honesto Ongtioco, Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD, Msgr. Dan Sta. Maria, and Ms. Nina Lim-Yuson of Museo Pambata. You may likewise e-mail me directly for book orders although with me, all orders are for pick-up.

We all know that all mothers and wives are very busy people. You need to take a break, even for just a few minutes daily, and this book can help you do that. Through this book, I share insights and stories about parenting, stewardship, and faith. Stewardship is a way of life characterized by gratitude, responsibility, generosity, and giving back to the Lord in terms of time, talent, and treasure. In a way, it acknowledges the important role that mothers have in shaping the way their kids view the world and celebrates the great vocation that is motherhood.

Valentine's Day is all about love. Love that is real and love that sacrifices, hopefully -- and not the cute or commercial type of love. The Lord's love for us is beyond measure. As much as we benefit from His great love for us, it is up to each and every individual to bring God's love to others. That is the message of the book Mom's A Stewardess.

So, give or ask for a meaningful gift this Valentine's Day. Ask for your copy of Mom's A Stewardess. Or gift it to yourself. May it touch your life in a positive way so that you will never be the same again.
