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.

CHRISTMAS JOY


For all those who have read the messages I wrote during the year that is ending, I give you my heart and also the message I write below:

Dad God, I can't let go of you, look, I travel with you and I can't change you.

 At the end of this year, Dad God, I want to give you some messages of love, that is, everything that You Lord puts in my heart.

To write verses you have to think beautifully, and from


beautiful thoughts verses come out.

People with bad attitudes will not be able to write, unless they also pour their anger onto the paper.

Today is December 26th and everything seems so special to me, everything in nature tells us that it is Christmas.

We already celebrate the coming of the divine child, but one day we will celebrate it for life.


What precious details are the times of the Lord and we rejoice with Him because He is our great love.

 Now, now Dad God I am heartless, because You took it, oh my divine love.

I woke up today inspired because my heart feels the Holy Spirit of God, or at least an immense joy that I cannot contain; I don't know what you are going to do with me, my divine savior.

Those are very special things that I want to write today, about the year that ends and the year that is about to begin.

We delight in everything without understanding and we do not know what our heart is.


Father God, delight in us because we are your property and we wish to be in your divine arms for eternity.

No more, you will know what you are doing with me because I cannot leave you and I also want to entrust my brothers in the world to you. Let no one be left behind, Father God, it is my great desire that I want to sue you.

Thank you very much, Papa God, and without a doubt we await your blessing.

Cordially,

NEW YEAR

 


Hello family and friends. Today I am going to talk to you about the New Year that is about to begin. I do not wish you a wonderful year where everything is rosy, which is a childish and utopian thought. I wish you the courage to look at yourself and love yourself as you are. I wish you enough self-love to fight many battles and the humility to know that there are many battles that are impossible to win and that are not worth fighting for. I wish you can accept that there are realities that are unchangeable, but that there are others that if you take action instead of complaining you could change

them. Do not allow yourself to say “I can’t” and recognize the “I don’t want to.” I wish you to listen to your truth and to say it with full awareness that it is only your truth and not that of the other; that you expose yourself to what you fear because it is the only way to overcome fear. I wish you to learn to tolerate the stains of the other because you also have your own and that nullifies the possibility of complaint. I also wish that you do not blame yourself for making mistakes because you are not perfect and that you grow as much as you can. I do not wish that this year brings you happiness, rather I wish that you be happy, whatever reality you have to endure or live. May joy be the path, not the goal.

 


Remember that to achieve success there are some attitudes that will help you achieve your goals. Number one, be positive. In life we ​​can see the bad or good things. Seeing the good helps you a lot, since the pessimist sees everything without a future. Number two, have clear short and long term goals, otherwise you would be a ship without a course. The third and most important is to pray to God to give us health, strength and wisdom to be able to achieve, with the Hand of the Lord, all the purposes that we carry in our hearts. In this year 2025 I only wish that God gives us more opportunities for His glory. People need opportunities to be able to develop and shine in the midst of society.

Don't forget that today is the time to leave the bad behind and detoxify the heart, heal our soul and seek only what brings us calm. It is time to love ourselves more and be happy despite our scars. It is time to take different paths and discover other worlds. It is time to open our eyes, to exhale the past, breathe the present and inhale the future. Today is the time to expel yesterdays in order to begin a better tomorrow. I wish that the love of God walks before you, unlocking and opening paths of prosperity and success that lead you to glorify the Lord, not only in the year that


begins but always.

Lord, change all the hearts that are in darkness, let them see your light, make love, faith and peace always be in their hearts, so that they can then collaborate with you in the salvation of the world. Today a year of 365 pages closes, the year 2024, and 2025 begins. Fill it with love, projects, goals and successes. Just let God be the writer and you the protagonist.

 HAPPY and BLESSED 2025! May the Lord bless us all.

With love,

María Fanny Agudelo

THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN LIVING IN THE ARMS OF THE LORD


 Our great desire of love is to distribute the messages of the Lord. Everything that I have recorded in my heart is for the Beloved who one day will judge us (2Corinthians 5:10). I want to delight in beautiful things such as, among others, God's smile (Numbers 6:25-26).

I want to invite all the inhabitants of planet Earth to go confidently into the holy presence of God. Holy Spirit, enlighten me in the divine ways of the Lord.


It is something from yesterday but more from the present, which a legion of angels will take us to where we are going to spend eternity. All of us who enjoy life want to invoke You, so that You can take us all together to that heavenly mansion. Let's go, let's go, don't stay stuck; Look children, what a charm it is to go with the Beloved.

It is that our duration is eternal, we had a beginning but we have no end. Heaven is our home in the afterlife, which is what our beloved God has prepared for us.


Oh! Beautiful Father, I have nothing but my heart, that is the only thing I can give you, but take it whole and leave nothing behind, my Heavenly Beloved. Don't leave me empty-handed, Dad, I want to fill them with charm and your goodness that You share with us who believe in You and we cannot doubt that.

I want to end by praying for the abandoned peoples who do not believe in the Lord JESUS; how I would enjoy preaching to you something from the Word of God. May the Lord fill me with his light and his goodness. Although I don't know you, I pray for you that you receive JESUS ​​CHRIST in your lives and one day we will meet in Heaven.

Cordially,

MY 91st BIRTHDAY


 Hello family and friends. Let me talk to you about old age from my own experience. In the third age, time is dressed in whispers of the past and dances in history.  The wrinkles like verses trace the path taken, harvesting experiences in the garden of the past.  The sun caresses my face marked by years and in the twilight of life wisdom flourishes, harvesting the peace that youth does not know. In the third age one finds serenity as if it were a mature poem full of truth.  I close my eyes, think of God, embrace calm and then my experience rises transcending into stillness.  I realize that life is very short, since there is no time for arguments, apologies, ingratitude, much less giving up. There is only time to love but for a moment, because we are like a sigh or like the mist (James 4:14); So let's enjoy it before the air runs out.

Blessed are those who understand how clumsy my walk is


and how unsteady my pulse is. Blessed are those who understand that my ears strain to hear. Blessed are those who realize that my eyes are clouded. Blessed are those who understand me when I spill breakfast on the table. Blessed are those who with a kind smile decide to talk to me. Blessed are those who tolerate the failures of my memory and never say: 'You have already repeated the same story several times.' Blessed are those who know how to awaken stories from my past. Blessed are those who let me know that I am loved and respected and that I am not alone. Blessed are those who understand how difficult it is to find strength at this age to continue fighting. Blessed are all those who with much love accompany me in these difficult times of my life.


We cannot forget the grandmothers, nor the great-grandmothers; I am one of them because I have eleven children, thirteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. We must turn to them, since they teach us to mend relationships and put our hearts back together, also to repair family wounds, to fight for what is worth it, and to once again address the value of life.  So don't yell at them, don't blame them, listen to them in silence, give them all your attention even if they always tell you the same thing, be patient, laugh with them.  Even if you think that they have nothing left to teach you, go see them as many times as you can, don't make them feel alone. Bring them a flower, give them a kiss, a caress, a smile, a little walk, and if you don't have time, find it and call her and tell her you're coming soon, do it before that chair is empty; she's waiting for you since she has a lot to say to you, but little to give to you.

I tell you that when we feel that the years are passing we


should not pretend to be younger, it would be much better if we were happier, because this way we rejuvenate ourselves much more.  We grow old when we think too much about ourselves and forget about others; also when we close ourselves to new ideas or stop fighting for life.  In youth we learn and in old age we understand.  People are not valuable for how long they live, but for the traces they leave.  God bless all families where there are elderly people and take care of them and love them.

We definitely learn more to value, respect, and love the elderly when we have the love of JESUS ​​CHRIST in our hearts. Receive JESUS ​​in your heart today and you will begin to love in a new dimension.

                                        With love,

                                                        Maria Fanny Agudelo
