June 9- Sunday

-
Sunday was yesterday but I have made up my mind that throughout this month of June I would certainly write one daily note of thankfulness! 

For Sunday I was thankful about the adventurers club we have at church, though it was our last time teaching since we are living too far from church I know my children enjoy it a lot! Being around other children make them happier sometimes so I might take them back to the adventurers once a month or once every two months... Not sure yet! 

I'm thankful that we taught our class to make a delicious desert made out of dates and coconuts. Here they are writing the recipe and the "dates ball" are wrapped in the aluminum foil. 
God's grace be with these children as they go thru their daily duties serving God in this world full of temptations specially for the youth!! I truly pray that God will send His Holy Spirit to live in this children's mind! 

This is it for today! 

I can't forget to say that today I did a one day fast, just water as I needed to restore my confidence with Christ and to clarify some decisions and thoughts! God is good and He gives discernment to those who ask!! 

Here's what I have learned so far for Sunday:
Larissa was demanding something she didn't need at the moment or I could not provide it for her, it was just a little ballerina shoes that she has but I keep hidden higher and I couldn't get it today since I had to use my muscles and just for today I was taking it easy because of my fast but in Larissa's mind it was suffering and sorrowful, she fussed and insistently followed me with her little demands and crying after long 30 minutes she started to calm down after I had several times explained it to her. 
Sometimes fast helps me to keep my mind clear and be calmer in situations like that one and to hold strong my decision to not going back to give what my child wanted even when it takes 30 minutes of listening to her crying. 

Now this is it for today!

2023- Larissa’s Birthday

  “ For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. “ (1 Corinthians 4:9) I read that verse this morning in a devotional and it made me think of yesterday when Larissa and I were in a boat ride. We are visiting Paris for her very special 15th Birthday and I praise God for the opportunity of being here visiting this country and seeing the beautiful and historical sites and in our boat ride yesterday in the Seine River we were in a big boat with other 600 people were we could either ride downstairs or upstairs in a big deck type outlooking all the historical sites but specially seeing people sitting by the river. Something very peculiar would happen when our boat was passing by these people. They were probably used to see this boat and “wave” to the unknown people inside the boat! During the one hour boat trip I could watch with intense interest those that didn’t wave at first starting to wave and there from the city some people would make heart shape with their ha

A Higher goal...

Today I reached my goal! The 30 days of writing a thankful note daily is finished.  I truly didn't know how to start a blog but how much easier it's to put an end in something. I had everything that I wanted to write in my mind all day long.  And now it's like a blank came....Though writing is a therapy to me, somedays it was becoming an obligation and not a thankful note, and other times I didn't know I could say so much and do so much at once. The recipes I shared, the routine I wrote it down, the pictures taken all was not planned by me but I know that there's someOne Higher than I and Knows the end from the beginning He touched me to write every single post because all things may not happen the ways we plan but it sure happens the way God has planned.  However sometimes I would stay up 'till late and miss the talk with my husband because I got to write down all the things I did throughout my day and this way I didn't miss only the night talking with my h

Spring time is here - April 2022

Spring time is here and again I’m writing about it for another year.  I just can’t keep quiet without saying anything when mornings appear and birds are singing happily everywhere, flowers are blooming and enlightening our eyes and the sun shines till late bringing marvelous sunsets, all showing that God is love!  “The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing  of birds  is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;” Song of Solomon 2:12  And here I leave to you my favorite quote in a devotional for today: “ God's Word and the Creation “Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Luke 12:27 . In their original perfection all created things were an expression of the thought of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart; for t
