I HAVE A JOY THAT ONLY YOU, O LORD CAN GIVE

Let’s call upon the name of the Lord; with much joy and much love do we invoke His name to introduce this message.

We are who we are because God’s will predestined us to be so; if we tried to break His will for us, we’d be cooked, for after all, it is impossible to do so. But who would try to do such an atrocious thing anyway? We’d end up like the heavenly angels who followed Lucifer right into hell were they are stuck for eternity.

Holy Spirit of Christ, illuminate my heart to write what pleases You, O God. From here on forth, let us live for the Lord, and pray every day; never talk perverse things. Let us live a spiritual life as the angels do singing and praising God, with the seraphim, cherubim, and the whole Celestial Court. What shall I do, O Lord: for your Love has given me eloquence here on earth; how shall it be when I reach Heaven. Thank You Daddy, for You have given us all the same privilege of being able to tap into this great joy. Brethren, be not deceived by the Enemy who wants to bamboozle you, for he has no other motive than to dupe souls to go into perdition with him. I never get tired of advising you, my friend, to choose Christ, choose Heaven, which is way better. How could we not love You, O Precious Heavenly-Daddy? for You sent Your Son, Your one-and-only Son to die on the cross to pay for our sins – to take the punishment for our sins; You allow no sin in Heaven – thank You because when we turn away from our sins and turn towards Your only Son, JESUS, You cleanse us with His blood from every sin and allow us to be with You, here on earth right now, and in Heaven, for eternity.

Dear friend, if you want to repent of your sins and accept Christ as your Savior and make Him your Lord, so that you can be eternally with Him in Heaven, then pray this prayer with me,

“Dear Heavenly Daddy, I am sick and tired of my sin. I don’t want it anymore – I want You now. Please cleanse me with Your Son’s precious blood from all of my sins so that I can be eternally with You in Heaven.                          In Jesus’ name, amen.”

With much love,

STRONG FAMILIES

Hello family and friends,

I love family reunions and this is one of them. Did you know that the family is the base of society? The family is a small church and a place where we teach our children about faith and the Word of God. It’s also the only place most similar to heaven, because there we experience security, peace, tranquility, and love; in other words, God is there.

Therefore we should work towards making sure that families are not destroyed. The Lord will be able to save us from the disasters that broken families bring.

Now I would like to share with you five important points written by Eliezer Perez; they are summed up as follows:

1.  We should remain focused on family life, establishing priorities and sharing quality time.

2.  The family is strengthened active communication amongst family members. Communication should be edifying, constructive, clear, precise, and direct, and never offensive.

3.  Love should also be expressed both physically and verbally. If you desire a family that is healthy and united, tell your family members you love them with regularity.

4.  It has been shown that families that put God first, experience wellness and a sense of purpose. Don’t forget that all families experience times of hardship and because of this, it is necessary to learn how to resolve conflict and crisis in an appropriate manner never allowing people’s differences should become separation. Instead, family members should be united when trials and tribulations do occur.

Grandchildren bring joy to the lives of their grandparents. Children are the testimony and grandchildren the confirmation and that’s we care about them so as they are God’s greatest gift in our advanced age. When we hold one of our grandchildren in our arms, we experience pure love, because they don’t ask for anything and yet give everything. Grandchildren are the blessing of the years because they fill the house with a youthful love. They say that the grandparents love their grandchildren more than their children, but this is not so because their love for their children is renewed through their grandchildren.

Thank you, Father God, for allowing us to be parents and grandparents. We are glad that we have completed your mission, Father God, and are able to come to you Lord with the fruits of this household. Watch over them Lord, protect them with Your grace and love. Lead them down the good path of the truth, don’t allow them to become apart from you, and don’t let Your divine protection ever fail them.

Grandparents have a great responsibility to give a good testimony because our families pay close attention to our words and advice, and we can be of great influence. Let us not forget that with our love and testimony we can leave a legacy of blessing for our descendants. I hope that this becomes a reality and that each generation may grow in their love for the Lord. In this way the world will become a better and greater place. My advice is that we never depart from the Lord so that we may have healthy and happy families.

May the Lord of Peace continue guiding you through many blessings for the glory of the Lord.

WRITER’ S NOTE: These were some words I read to my daughters on the 30^th anniversary of their weddings on August 6^th, 2016.
