Family

Genesis 2:24

"Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh."

Hello Friends!!! Today I want to share this topic "The Family" with you because I find it very interesting. Family in general.!!

To me family, which is the "family nucleus" husband, wife, and children are very important and it's because is from God.

* Family is a creation of God *

Genesis 1:27-28
"God created man in His own image, the image of God he created him, male and female he created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it..."

As a child, unfortunately I grew up only with my Mom and my brother, I say unfortunately because I did not grow up with a father figure. Which is very important. Now, I'm not complaining, only God knows why things or situations happen and besides, I was very fortunate to have a strong, hard working, and loving mother.

For me, it is important to have unity within the family in general. One day I said to myself, and "I declared" that I would not permit the enemy to destroy my family (at that time I almost lost my family). I canceled every generational curse in the name of Jesus. My mother grew up without her biological parents and I grew up without my father; That is why, I said to myself, my daughters are not going to go through that .... It hasn't been easy, but the word says in Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".
I don't know how your family is or what you have gone through, but I can tell you about mine. It hasn't been easy for me to keep my family together, but I guess you have to pay a price, and not only that, but to make my house a home. A home where you can be in peace, where there is respect, Love, Trust, Mercy, Understanding ... etc ... etc ... And especially a Christocentric home. Obviously, the center of my family is Jesus Christ! But overall, I thank God for keeping us united, for the times of trials and difficulties as those moments are what complete us and which makes us grow, know, and perfect ourselves in Him.

The family is something precious, do you think so? I do. I believe so, because it is from God, and all that God created is precious. No matter the circumstances of life. The most important thing is to take care of your family. The members of your family, and this is for the women, since we are more caring ... sorry gentlemen, caring for them the same way you would care for a flower or plant. Flowers and plants vary, as your care for them varies. There are some who need more attention than others, likewise with your family, your family members.

I challenge you on this day to fight, to fight for your FAMILY, but especially to take care of them, there is nothing more beautiful after Jesus, than your family.

And remember, service is very important, do your neighbor as you want them to do with you. "Matthew 7:12"

1 Corinthians 11:3, 11-12
3Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

I want to share this card that my youngest daughter, Samantha, gave me last year for Mother's day. And today, I will dedicate it to you.

*** Mother ***
Ours is a family that smiles big, that Love bigger,

that does more than just get along ...

We are a family

that sticks together,

that stands strong,

that knows what really matters ...

All because of you.
***********************************************************************************

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.
But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
" JOSHUA 24: 15 "

Take care and May the Lord continue to bless you and your Family ... Until next time!


Your sister and friend,

La Familia

La Familia

Génesis 2:24

“Por tanto, dejara el hombre a su padre y a su madre, y se unirá a su mujer, y serán una sola carne.”

Hola Amigas!! Hoy quiero compartir este tema de “La Familia” con ustedes ya que me parece muy interesante. La Familia en general.

Para mí la familia, lo que es el “núcleo familiar” esposo, esposa, e hijos es muy importante. Es algo muy bonito, y lo es porque proviene de Dios.

*La Familia es creación de Dios*

Génesis 1:27-28: “Y creo Dios al hombre a su imagen, a imagen de Dios lo creo; varón y hembra los creo. Y los bendijo Dios, y les dijo: Fructificad y multiplicaos; llenad la tierra...

Cuando pequeña, desafortunadamente crecí solo con mi Mama y mi hermano, digo desafortunadamente por qué no tuve una figura paternal a mi lado. La cual es muy importante. Ahora, no es que me este quejando solo Dios sabe el por qué de las cosas. Y además, tuve la dicha de tener una Madre amorosa y muy luchadora.

Es por esto que es para mí tan importante la unidad familiar y la familia en general. Un día me dije a mi misma, “Me declare a mí misma” que no iba a permitir que el enemigo rompiera mi familia, (en ese tiempo casi perdía mi familia) no le voy a dar “cabida” al enemigo, y cancele en el nombre de Jesús toda maldición de generación, ya que mi madre no se crio con sus padres biológicos, y yo crecí sin mi Papa. Es por esto, que me dije; mis hijas no van a pasar por eso.... No asido fácil, pero dice la palabra en Hechos 11:1 Es, pues, la fe la certeza de lo que se espera, la convicción de lo que no se ve.

No sé como pueda ser tu familia y porque hayan atravesado. Pero, si te puedo decir de la mía. A mí me ha costado MUCHO el mantener mi familia unida, y no solo eso, sino hacer de mí casa un Hogar. Un hogar donde se respire Paz, donde halla respeto, Amor, Confianza, Misericordia, Comprensión...etc...etc... Y sobre todo un Hogar Cristo céntrico. Obviamente, que el centro de esta Familia sea Jesucristo! Pero en todo le doy gracias a Dios, por mantenernos unidos, por los momentos de prueba y dificultades ya que son esos momentos los que nos completan, los que nos hacen crecer, conocernos y perfeccionarnos en El.

La familia es algo muy bonito, crees tú?? Yo si lo creo. Creo que lo es, por que proviene de Dios, y todo lo que Dios creó es Lindo. No importando las vicisitudes de la vida. Lo más importante es cuidar de ella. Los miembros de tu familia, esto es mas para las mujeres, ya que somos más cuidadosas... perdónenme caballeros, Cuidar de ellos así como se cuida de una Flor o una planta. Las flores y plantas varían, así como varía su cuidado. Hay algunas que necesitan más atención que otras, así también tu Familia, los miembros de tu Familia.

Te exhorto en este día que luches, pelees por tu familia pero sobre todo que cuides de ella, no hay nada más lindo después de Jesús, que tu FAMILIA.

Y acuérdate el servicio es muy importante, haz con tu prójimo como tú quieres que hagan contigo.

1 Corintios 11: 3 y 11-12
Pero quiero que sepáis que Cristo es la cabeza de todo varón, y el varón es la cabeza de la mujer, y Dios la cabeza de Cristo.
Pero en el Señor, ni el varón es sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón; Porque así como la mujer procede del varón, también el varón nace de la mujer; pero todo procede de Dios.

Quiero compartir esta tarjetita que me regalo mi hija menor, Samantha, el ano pasado para el día de las madres. Y hoy yo te la dedico a ti.

***Madre***

Nuestra es una familia que Sonríe en grande, que Ama mas grande,

que hace más que solo llevarse bien...

Somos una familia

que se mantiene junta,

que se para firme,

que sabe lo que realmente importa...

Todo gracias a ti.

*****************************************************************************************

Y si mal os parece servir a Jehová, escogeos hoy a quién sirváis; si a los dioses a quienes sirvieron vuestros padres, cuando estuvieron al otro lado del río, o a los dioses de los amorreos en cuya tierra habitáis;

PERO YO Y MI CASA SERVIREMOS A JEHOVA *JOSUE 24: 15*

Cuídate y que el Señor te continúe bendiciendo a ti y a tu Familia... Hasta la proxima!!

Friends: Treat them Fairly!

Friendship. It's a wonderful thing. Whether you have one friend or twenty it's awesome. You always have someone to talk to and open up to. And when you’re feeling down, you always have a friend to try to help bring you back up. But when you have a friend do this for you, it's always good to do something for them in return.

I'm not talking about giving them expensive gifts or treating them all the time to ice cream or anything like that. No, I'm talking about treating them fairly. Do to your friends what you would want your friends to do to you. You can't just keep expecting your friends to do nice stuff for you when you don't do the same for them. Imagine being the nicest you can be to your friend, but then all you get in return is the feeling of being used, and lack of appreciation. Wouldn't you get tired of it? Eventually you would want to stop being friends, right?

Proverbs 17:17 says “A friend loves at all times.” Not appreciating your friend doesn’t really show your love for them. It's not even a friendship. It's just basically someone getting spoiled by a great person, when they don't deserve it. Love your friends and treat them fairly or else you'll lose them. Losing a friend is terrible, it can hurt really badly. Having a loving friendship is awesome, because you'll know you'll always have someone to have your back.

Look out for the sequel! ;-D

God Bless,
