VALENTINE'S DAY

 Hello family and friends of the Blog. Every year of my life I am convinced that the contempt for life is in the love that we do not give, in the strength that we do not use, in the selfish prudence that does not risk anything and that by avoiding suffering we also lose happiness. In the month of February we always celebrate Valentine's Day here in the United States. This is celebrated in Colombia in September of each year with the name of Day of Love and Friendship. I imagine that each country has a different month for this celebration.

I tell you that I just read the following question that has

caught my attention since it can be applied to this topic of relationships and friendships. It goes like this: If happiness had a smell, what would it smell like? Answer: Happiness smells like the warmth of home, an unexpected call, a mother's joy, a father's hug, a brother's confidence, granny's food, a son's question, a friend's smile, to advice on time, to an answered prayer, and to the well-being of those I love. It also smells of the sea breeze, of walking on the beach accompanied by a loved one, of the

colors of the sunset, of colorful forest leaves in autumn, of rest at night, of a roof over your head, of delicious food on the table. . Happiness smells like many everyday things that we quickly ignore because we are very sure of them. With this explanation, I am sure you will understand why I insist that we should call this celebration 'Family Day,' because that is where love begins and never ends. Remember that the love and time that we give to our loved ones will shine forever, since the most important nucleus that exists on this planet Earth is the 'family'.

Families that pray together with God stay together. This is the secret of my wonderful family. I remind you of what Albert Einstein said: If you choose the world you will be left without love, but if you choose love with it you will conquer the world. And I add more: Too bad that this generation wants to conquer everything with money, because money is the god of these times. So if you have happiness, share it, if you have triumphs, enjoy them and if there is a lot of love in your heart,

share it wherever you go. This was the example we received from JESUS ​​and without Him it is not possible to achieve this lifestyle.

May the Lord help us to change not only inadequate names, but also and mainly our lives, which is only possible if we receive JESUS ​​CHRIST in us so that we can be spiritual.

HAPPY DAY OF THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS! Instead of:

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

With love,
