Love...

-
Today as I opened my bible I was in the bible concordance in the word "wrote" as I was called to look at this word in the book of 2John 5
"And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another."

Hum, I was impressed that this words were written for me! 
" THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER" 
How? I read John 13:34 and it says:
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

To love as Christ loved means unselfishness at all times and in all places , by kind words and pleasant looks. These costs those who give them nothing, but yet leave behind a fragrance that surrounds the soul. Their effect can never be estimated. Not only are they a blessing for the receiver, but to the giver.( MS 17, 1899, Ellen White)

For breakfast I blended I handful of cashews and the other handful of halzenuts and when I say a handful I mean a hand of five fingers not two hands together :) plus 1 Tablespoon of honey and 1 Tablespoon of vanilla
And is as white as cow milk but much more delicious!!

This was one of the stories in our homeschool today 
I'm enjoying our character quality for this week:

 Luke learned to make another thing really nice! A homemade candle made out of an orange and oil:

Everyday I get more and more surprised with Luke's disposition! Praise God! Little acts like this helps our love to grow stronger!!
And talking about love...
One day as the kids and I were going out of the park we saw a lady with her clothes all tear apart, her boots has holes on it and she used a jacket and kept in pulling it down as she walked, trying to cover her legs and her butt from showing because her paints were tore apart all over. Larissa and I were really, really shocked and felt pity on that lady while Logan kept a distance from her and for that reason I decided not to talk to the lady! However today, as I was on my lunch brake, while Luke was home with the children I went to downtown since its just a walking distance from home and after I had done my shipping guess who I found? The lady, walking slow by the side of the road and this time I sent a quick prayer to God and without hesitation went on to speak to her. I noticed that people despised even walking on the same side of the road as she was waking! I asked if she needed clothes and she said that people usually asks for that but she said she was hungry and that is more than clothes; she then wanted to come to my house and have "a cup of tea" like the British say and she looked were normal to me! When I asked for her name she said it was difficult and was kinda afraid of saying her name to me. She just said it was like Anil, so I told her I would call her Annie! I have 2 tomatoes to her and we had a nice conversation and I insisted I would come bak to see her in a few minutes and also being some more food and clothes!! 
By this time it was Luke's time to go to work and he gave us a ride to the lady! Logan was afraid of her and Larissa had pity on this lady and couldn't stop looking at her clothes!! 
Here's just a piece of Annie...

She refused the clothes and the book I tried to give to her all she wanted was the food!! 

I brought apples and bread and she was content with that! She's British an is very sad with her own people not helping her. 
We prayed together and we talked an I tried to give some love to this lady!! I don't know what she has been thru but will continually pray for her!! 
Love can change lives!! And only God can help us to have this kind of love!! 
May His love abound in our hearts today!!
Kindly
Lucy ;)

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
