My husband and I were raised in Catholic families in Colombia, and from an early age our parents taught us the fundamental moral principles of the Catholic religion. But on April of 1989, when we were born again, we began to understand the true meaning of being a Christian and since then our relationship with God has become more personal. Since then we began to write. José Joaquin wrote reflections about the love of God and messages of hope for humanity, and I wrote wise advice for all families everywhere.

NEW YEAR’S 2018



Hello family and friends. Remember that every end of year we do a balance, whether economic, social, family-related, or in this case I am going to talk about a "corporal" check-up.
"I went to the Lord’s Clinic to have my routine checkup and it was confirmed that I was ill. When Jesus took my blood pleasure, He saw I was low in tenderness. When He checked the temperature, the thermometer registered 40 degrees of anxiety. He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several ‘love by-passes’ since my arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart. I went to orthopedics, because I could not walk by my brother’s side and I could not hug my friends, since I had fractured myself when I tripped and fell because of my envy.
He also found I was short sighted, since I could not see beyond the shortcomings of my brothers and sisters. When I complained about deafness, the diagnostic was that I had stopped listening to Jesus’ voice speaking to me on a daily basis.
He therefore gave me the following instructions thanks to abundant mercies. So my pledge is to, once I leave this clinic, only take the natural remedies he prescribed through his words of truth.
Every morning take a full glass of gratitude. When getting to work, take one spoon of peace. Every hour, take one pill of patience, one cup of brotherhood and one glass of humility. When getting home, take one dose of love. When getting to bed, take two caplets of clear conscience."

What a surprising diagnosis! But let's not be depressed or discouraged with this diagnosis. The best thing to do is to follow the prescription word-for-word, verbatim, and we will see excellent results. Neither be discouraged with what we are living in this era or whatever tribulation that we might be going through. God knows perfectly how we. It's best to follow His Will, purposes, and counsel, so that we have a heart full of joy and peace. Let's not forget that Judas had the best pastor, the best leader, the best master, the wisest one, the best friend, and nonetheless failed. We must acknowledge that the problem is not leadership. It doesn't matter what denomination you belong to; if your attitude doesn't change, if your character isn't transformed, you will always be the same person. What you must do is believe in Christ Jesus, ask Him for forgiveness for all your sins, and develop a very tight relationship with Him. Because religion means relationship with your Creator. Remember, we are all tourists on this planet Earth, God is our flight agent, who already ordered our ways, reservations, and destiny. Therefore, trust in Him and enjoy life's ride, having certainty that the Lord is preparing a place to receive us, who remain faithful, in His celestial mansion. Happy 2018 y'all!
With love,
