Beloved family and dear Blog readers, today I want to share this message that came to me via e-mail and although it's so old, it brings good teachings. Don't forget that we could be a hundred years old and still learning.
The famous German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said: The disease is a conflict between the soul and body. The cold drips when the body does not cry. Sore throat blocks when you can not communicate afflictions. The stomach burns when the rages out fail. Diabetes invades when loneliness hurts. The body gains fat when dissatisfaction squeezes. The headache depresses when the doubts increase. The heart slows down when the meaning of life seems to end. The joy disappears when perfectionism is intolerable. The nails break when the defenses are threatened. The chest tightens when the pride enslaves. The pressure rises when fear imprisons. The neurons paralyze when the inner child bullying. Fever gets hot when defenses exploit the boundaries of immunity. Knees hurt when your pride is not cowed. Cancer kills when you get tired of living. Diseases are signs of the way. The road to happiness is not right. There are curves called mistakes. There are traffic lights called friends. There caution lights called family. Everything is done if you have a spare tire called decision. A powerful engine called love. A good insurance called faith. Abundant fuel called patience, but above of all an expert driver called God. So far Johann Sebastian Bach.
I want to add a few more words. Many people lose their good health because they work too much to save money and then lose money recovering their health. Others think too far ahead in the future and forget to live the present time so that in the end do not live neither the present nor the future. They live as if they will never die and die as if they had never lived. They forget that we human beings did not make by ourselves, that we have a Creator or potter who made us in his image and likeness with mission and purpose which is to love and serve God and our neighbors. Do not forget that love has many enemies such as pride, envy, grind, hate, indifference, individualism, jealousy, insecurity, selfishness, but especially the lack of God. Remember that life on Earth is a good opportunity to get the best fortune in Heaven. My wish is that everyone seeks that fortune.
With love,
