June 22->On the sabbath day!

Image
I have so much that I want to write here but as the day passes by and it gets to an end I just end up sleeping and then the next morning if I don't take the time to write down the blessings I received I will just miss another opportunity to tell about God's goodness! So on the sabbath day God ended his work, His work which He began an He rested from all His work and God blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it! " 2  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."(Genesis 2: 2 and 3) On the sabbath day we went to a Brazilian church and were blessed by the sermon of Pastor Rafael Luz that presented a message on parenting. Amidst the many things he said he spoke about Samson and the wrong choices he had made but because he had great God fearing parents in ...

Today I read about David and his fall, his repentance and God's forgiveness and mercy. David's children were not obedient because of his sins; but there was still hope for him and for you and me: "Whoever under the reproof of God will humble the soul with confession and repentance, as did David, may be sure that there is hope for him.

Today I read the a little paragraph in the  book " Steps to Christ"   Through the right exercise of the will, an entire change may be made in your life. By yielding up your will to Christ, you ally yourself with the power that is above all principalities and powers. You will have strength from above to hold you steadfast, and thus through constant surrender to God you will be enabled to live the new life, even the life of faith. ( Steps to Christ, page 47, Ellen White) A verse  came to my mind: " Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God.." Our  guests now our family!! They adopted my Luke as their son in Christ and I'm so happy because now the children have two grandpas or two "nônos" and they gave a pressure cooker for me but its not working properly and I'm really afraid of pressure cookers!! Cooking beans takes more than 2 hours if not cooked on a pressure cooker pan and like a real Brazilian I love rice and beans! It's a shame we haven...
