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.

FRIENDSHIP WITH THE LORD IS PRICELESS

Lord, I want to be your friend and you do not despise the souls that seek you. You are very attentive and delicate with your creatures, you are very polite and friendship with you is a delight. How good it is to be your friend! Your friendships are beautiful, you are the delight of souls, you are rich and powerful and you know everything. You pay well to those who serve you and you never go bankrupt. Your delights have infinite solidity. How good it is with you Father God! You do not despise the poor, you are a rich treasure and I am crazy with happiness. The little birds sing melodies to you, the sun shines on us and the whole of nature delights. What a beautiful harmony you put to everything! Everything shines with smiling springs and from

the springs the tender lullaby. We want to put love coins in God's piggy bank. The moments of life cannot be lost, let us deliver them in praise and blessings to our beloved King. Nor can they pass without feeling the presence of our beloved Lord. Let's smile, let's smile brothers because divine majesty covers us. We feel you Dad, we feel you. Take us to You because we are your property. You are the blessed owner of our souls and we are happy

following your divine footprints.

I want to capture the impulses that you give me, the impulses of your love on paper and make them known to the souls that follow you and follow you in a party that does not end. My great desire is that this message be known by many souls. Thank you, thank you very much.

Cordially,

Jose Joaquin Agudelo G.

WE DON'T NEED SPECIAL DATES TO TELL LOVED ONES WE LOVE THEM

 

“For you, brethren were called to liberty; only do not use freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but serve one another out of love.”

Galatians 5:13


Hello family and friends of this Blog. In this short message I want to highlight some virtues that we must always practice during the journey of life because they lead us to LOVE always.

Did you know that KINDNESS is the only investment that never fails? Commit your works to God and your thoughts will be affirmed. Your inner PEACE is worth much more than money, power, or fame. Remember that we must go beyond appearances and also believe that there is a divine intervention in the universe; In this way, we do not allow ourselves to be trapped by the material or ephemeral and thus be able to live in tune with our Father God at all times. Today God opened the windows of


Heaven to send you showers of blessings and remind you of the biblical passage from Ephesians 6: 1-3 which says: Son, be OBEDIENT in the Lord to your parents because this is fair. This is the first commandment with a promise from the Lord so that everything goes well for you and you have a long life on earth. What a promise! I hope you have practiced this commandment and kept it in your heart always, always. If so, go ahead calm and trusting in the Lord. It was He who made this promise and He never lies.

I dreamed that life was joy, but I woke up and saw that life is service; I served and saw that service brings joy. So I concluded that life in service is joy. Whoever does not live to SERVE, does not serve to live (Matthew 5:13). JESUS ​​


CHRIST himself is our example; He did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).

Also, did you know that GRATITUDE is the key to fulfillment? Gratitude makes what we have enough for us and it turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity. It can also make a simple meal a feast and a simple house a home of love. Gratitude gives meaning to our past, brings peace to the


present, and creates perspective for the future. Behind you there is only memory, but by your side there are people who love you, in front a beautiful future, above a God who listens to you, loves you, forgives you, and blesses you. So receive these blessings and always carry them in your heart.

With love,

María Fanny Agudelo
