Why is kissing good for you?

Have you ever thought about the importance of kissing in a relationship? If not, take two minutes to read the following.

Why is kissing good for you?

According to scientists, kissing can boost the immune system and reduce stress. According to findings by US researchers, the body produces chemicals (neuropeptides) that activate the so-called ‘killer cells’ while kissing. These chemicals attack harmful bacteria or viruses and destroy them. Doctors warn that dangerous viruses can be transmitted by kissing, so it’s a good thing that the number one benefit is boosting the immune system.

How does a kiss connect two people?

Kissing can not only connect two people, but also divide them. Those couples who no longer kiss, start to lose a very important connection. With daily, and especially, intimate kissing, couples can strengthen their bond. This is done on an emotional level and, thanks to hormones and messenger substances that are absorbed through the nose and mouth, biologically.

Here you can find some interesting information about kissing from a German newspaper report. Maybe you think that kissing isn’t so important, but as Christians we should show our love to our partner and know the benefits.

May God bless your relationship with your partner!

The power of encouragement

The following text is from ourdailybread.org, August 7, 2016:

“When Kathleen’s teacher called her to the front of the grammar class to analyze a sentence, she panicked. As a recent transfer student, she hadn’t learned that aspect of grammar. The class laughed at her.

Instantly the teacher sprang to her defense. “She can out-write any of you any day of the week!” he explained. Many years later, Kathleen gratefully recalled the moment: “I started that day to try to write as well as he said I could.” Eventually, Kathleen Parker would win a Pulitzer Prize for her writing. “….

Remember that Jesus is doing the same all day long for you and me!

At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6

Babysitting exchange in your church – A new concept

Grandparents’ own grandchildren are commonly far from their homes, yet these older church members often have time and experience that can be offered to families who need childcare. On the other hand, the church often has more and more single mothers or young families where both parents are required to work full time and rely on childcare.

Maybe it is possible for your church to initiate a babysitter exchange idea. Introduce an announcement to your church that a new information board is available where parents and available ‘grandparents/childcare/babysitters’ can share their information and contact details. Through this new idea, both sides can have a win-win situation and the exchange between old and young in church can grow. May God bless you and your church!
