VERY SOLID FAMILIES

Hello family and friends, did you know that family is the basis of society? The family is a small church and a sweet home where we teach our children the Word of God and faith in Jesus Christ. It is also the only place similar to Heaven, because there we experience security, peace, tranquility and love; In other words, there is God. So we must fight because families do not end; Only God can save us from the catastrophe that this evil would bring us.

Now I want to share four important tips written by Pastor Eliezer Pérez and I summarize them like this:

1) We must remain very focused on family life by setting priorities and giving quality time.

2) Families are strengthened by having good communication between all the members that compose it, which must be edifying, constructive, clear, precise and direct, never offensive.

3) We also need a lot of love and affection, both physical and verbal. If you want a healthy and united family, tell your family members permanently that you love them.

4) It is shown that families who give first place to God experience well-being and sense of purpose.

Now I want to tell you do not forget that family is not exempt from facing difficult times. Therefore, it is necessary to learn to solve crises in an appropriate manner and not allowing differences to become

separation, but to unite in order to fight against what is disturbing. From the families the children are born and from the children the grandchildren, which make our lives happy. The children are the testimony and the grandchildren the confirmation and that is why we love them so much, being God's best gift for our old age. With a grandson in our arms we have full love, because they ask for nothing and give everything. Grandchildren are the fortune of the years filling the grandparents' house with family joy. They say that grandparents love grandchildren more than children, but they are wrong because what happens is that love for children is renewed through grandchildren. Thank you Lord for allowing us to be parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. We are glad to have accomplished our mission, and come to you with our hands full of the fruits of various crops. Take care of them, Lord, protect them with your grace and power, take them along the path of good and truth, do not let them separate from You and may your protection never be lacking. We, the grandparents, have an obligation to take care of our behavior so that all who see and hear us are influenced by our good work. Let us not forget that with our strength and enthusiasm we can demonstrate the greatness of our soul and point the way that our offspring must follow. I wish that our desire be fulfilled and that each generation surpasses the previous one in regard to the fear of God. Thus the people who inhabit this planet earth would have a very different world from today. My advice is that we never turn away from God so we can have very solid and happy families.

With love,

Maria Fanny Agudelo
