Embracing God’s New Gift to You Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 Next to Christmas, my favorite time of year is the Fall season. Striking colors of gold, orange, amber, and yellow strewn around trees, and the cool crisp air are some of the things that make me fall in love with this season. I Continue Reading

Un Día – Dos Lecciones en el Día de Acción de Gracias
Versiculo: “Aunque ande en el valle de sombra de muerte, No temeré mal alguno, porque tú estarás conmigo; Tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento.” Salmo 23:4 Esto sucedió el Domingo pasado: mientras las Iglesias en los Estados Unidos comenzaban a celebrar la semana de Acción de Gracias, yo tenía la oportunidad de sentarme en primera fila para presenciar las actitudes con respecto al Día de Acción de Gracias desde dos ángulos opuestos: el valle y el tope de la cima. Iba entrando al Continue Reading
Hanging Out With the Wrong Crowd
Key Verse: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 “Diga-me com quem andas que direi quem és” “Tell me who you hang out with and I’ll tell you who you are.” I’d be a rich woman if I had a dollar for each time I heard this from my mom as a young girl. Mom was right. As much as a good friend can help us make wise decisions, foolish or negative Continue Reading
Are You A True Friend?
Passage: Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 Key Verse: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (v.10) I looked up and they were all standing together in that tiny room. Six faces that I have learned to love as dear friends. Their eyes were full of concern, mercy. Their words were healing balm to my tired spirit. As they started praying, hands on my shoulder, I let tears of gratitude fall. “Thank you, God, for my friends,” I Continue Reading
Acorrentados ao Passado
Passagem: Isaías 43:18-21 Versículos Chaves: "Não vos lembreis das coisas passadas, nem considereis as antigas. Eis que faço uma coisa nova; agora está saindo ã luz; porventura não a percebeis? eis que porei um caminho no deserto, e rios no ermo. (vs.18-19) va batendo à porta e ela tinha que deixá-lo entrar. Ai, ai. Tú conheste alguém que simplesmente não consegue deixar o passado em paz? Tú os encontra em todos lugares e toda familia tem pelo menos uma dessas pessoas: Elas Continue Reading
Encadenado al Pasado
Versículo Clave: “No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis a memoria las cosas antiguas. He aquí yo hago cosa nueva; pronto saldrá a luz; no la conoceréis? Isaías 43:18 Nuestra conversación iba muy bien. Hablamos sobre la escuela de las niñas, el clima y nuestras preocupaciones sobre el país y la economía. Yo había aprendido a mantener nuestras conversaciones bien superficiales, desafortunadamente. Pero teníamos suficiente tiempo en nuestras manos para lo inevitable. El pasado Continue Reading
