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.

THE CLARITY OF GOD



 Psalm 91, He that dwells in the shelter of God
 This was one of the favorite songs of my husband;
 
Listen to me good Lord. The clear light of the day shines on us, God's love softens us and all day is radiant clarity. The Lord loves us and if we allow him to love us, our life will be a joy, and radiant clarity. The difficulties of our life will not bother us anymore and the pains we endure we will not feel them if we carry the lord within our hearts. Oh God thou with us everything is happiness; Dear Lord take us, take us, do not leave us. We love you so much my Lord, You are everything to me.
Thank you Lord for that peace that you give us in every moment of life. We know that you need us to save souls and we will respond that, this is our greatest concern: the lost. But we hope my good Lord, you will give us beautiful skills with words because you say there is more party and celebration in heaven over one sinner who repents of his evil ways that 99 righteous persons who need no repentance. I want to see many parties and celebrations in Heaven. Use me Lord for this purpose!
 

Sincerely,

Words of Victor Jara,Chile;
There, under the soil,
you are not asleep, brother, partner.
Your heart hears the spring sprout
who, like you, will the winds blowing.

There planted facing the sun,
the new soil cover your seed,
the root deeply will sink

and it will born the flower of a new day.

To your wounded feet will reach,
the hands of the lowly, reach
sowing.
Your death will bring many lives,
and where you were going, everybody  will march,
singing.
 

THE ARK OF NOAH



This week I want to give some advices for times of crisis in life. Some ideas are taken from an anonymous article circulating on the internet called The Ark of Noah and the stories of Genesis in the Bible chapters 6 to 8.
We need time to plan things to do. Remember that time when Noah built the ark had never rained on the earth. We must stand ready because God anytime  can ask us to do something big like he did with Noah. Do not listen to the critics just do the work that must be done. Plant your future high and on solid land, ah!  and for safety  travel in pairs. Do not forget that speed is not always advantageous since the snails were on board the ark with the cheetahs. When you're feeling stressed out in the sea of life, take a  deep breath and floats a considerable time. Do not forget that Noah's Ark was built by amateurs with divine guidance. In contrast, the Titanic was built by professionals with no faith in God,  they just trusted their own wisdom. No matter how hard the storm you're going through, when you are with God, there is always a rainbow waiting for you.
Thank you Lord for the Earth, the  moon, the sun,  the stars, and all the beautiful things you did. But mostly thanks for the life that is an ark built with your own hands. So we want to tell you  that you are our captain in whom we place all our hope for us not sink into the dark sea of life. ​​Loved JESUS, you are our salvation, we trust in You.

With love,
