Hello Family,
Unto us a child is born, which is Christ the Lord. We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The years go by so fast, and the days are very short. Each day we are given is truly a blessing and we all should thank God for His Grace and Divine Mercy. God really doesn’t have to gift us with another day, but He does for His purpose, and we truly believe that we all have a reason to still be standing today. We all have struggles and things we’re dealing with but it’s all about how we practice our faith, how we trust God and how we work together with the love of our Father to grow through all things. Never forget that NOTHING is impossible for God, and He doesn’t make mistakes. We may not understand why things happen or don’t happen, we just need to know that God has a plan so let’s not give up on Him or His children. Let’s continue to be appreciative of His love and forgiveness. “Lord if you don’t do anything else for us, You have already done enough.” Amen and Thank You Lord. Again, our days are short so it’s very important that we walk with the cross and take on challenges that come before us because when we hold on while in the storm, we will be a step closer to our destiny, which is life with Him. The difficult times in our lives are when we should really lift up our hands and trust that God is with us. We know it’s not always easy to do that but this is how we gain joy and peace while walking on our journey. We don’t know what tomorrow may bring so it’s critical to do things today that will help us to grow in faith. God blesses us all the time and when we allow the praises to go up, the blessings rain down. Thank You Lord. We have learned that on our journey we have to get out of our comfort zone. Do something that you don’t normally do, sacrifice your wants sometimes to help someone else. When we get out of the comfort zone, God will guide us to our destiny one day at a time and we may witness the miraculous. We just have to trust Him and take on the trials because at the end of the day, He’s with us all. He shall be called Emmanuel; God is with us. The world needs us, we need each other so let’s continue to be kind even when others are not kind to us, love your neighbor, forgive like God forgives us and know that when we show others Jesus through our actions, we’re giving a light to the world and making His kingdom come. Let’s not waste any more time on our journey and let’s make our actions count. We can’t help but to think about how God has given us many chances despite our struggles and faults. Our message to you is to tell people you love them today, and each day, and allow them to witness Jesus in your actions so that we all can experience the presence of God through the good times as well as the bad times and to work toward Building the Body of Christ. We love you very much. Again, Merry Christmas and we hope and pray that you have a happy and blessed New Year. Love always, Veronica and Joseph

Life is truly a gift; a new beginning and Christmas reminds us of His love and forgiveness that He so graciously gives to us on our journey to still stand even through the storms.

Hello Everyone, As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us take some time out and think about the goodness of our Creator and what He has done and continues to do in our lives. It’s all about gratitude and being appreciative of the many blessings that we receive each day. Please see the questions below to share with your family if you like.
Let’s not forget about those who may be alone, sick, or struggling financially. Thanksgiving is a time for love To come together and to thank the Creator up above For all that He Has done for us each and every day We don't have to have much to appreciate life in a very special way We all are here to hold each other hands and so much more We have to know what's important like never before Thanksgiving is about sharing and to give Peace and hope in the world so we all can live It's so crazy out here but the Creator has us in the palm of His hands Don't give up but always get strength from the Lord to stand Let’s be thankful for the many blessings we receive throughout our day Let’s not let trials distract us or get in our way Trials are temporary but when we put Him first, we see life in another way Let's always be thankful each and every day Happy Thanksgiving from us to you Know that you're blessed to be able to do what you do. I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We are so blessed to have family and friends and most of all the ability to live another day. Please value time with your loved ones and know that you’re blessed. Happy Thanksgiving!!! Amen and thank you Lord If we really want to serve the mission set by God, we need to work towards getting to know Him better, pray, be humble and just know that life is not about us but most importantly looking at life through God's lenses.
The way to start looking through God's lenses is to put Him first and know we have to sacrifice in life because it's not about us but about God's children. Let's pause and think about that statement for a minute. We all are on a journey, and we encounter different situations throughout our day. Some situations are challenging but overall God is with us through it all. If we can just trust Him, we will realize that all things are possible through Jesus. We shouldn't be stressing or depressed because God said give Me your burdens and I will give you rest. Amen Serving God is giving hope one day at a time and when we do that, we're following the mission. Sometimes we get the short end of the stick but at the end of the day, we've done Gods work and we're allowing Him to work in our lives. As I think about life, we all have faults, we all need Jesus, and we all need God to guide us to where He needs us to be so let's work towards getting closer to Him through prayer and be humble so that people can witness God's love and know that each day is a new day with new beginnings to serve. When we love and be humble, we help others, and we build The Body of Christ so it's very important for people to witness Jesus in us. Let's continue to look and live like God wants us to and ask for His guidance so that we can make good decisions, grow in His name and be a true vessel. Also, to have peace in our days and joy one day at a time. Hello everyone,
I hope all is well and you're having a good day. I'm back and excited about sharing daily inspirations to everyone. Over the past month, I've been thinking about life in how precious it is and how we have to cherish each and every moment. Let's take time out and thank God for the many blessings that He so graciously gives to us each day. As I meditated on life and appreciated God's grace, I realized how important it is to forgive and love. God has blessed us with His Divine Mercy and I had to reflect on His goodness and thank Him for His grace. Through all of this, I realized how important it is to forgive our neighbor because this life is all about giving hope and helping one another. We all have faults and when we forgive, we show others Jesus and we give him or her a purpose to still want to be here. The important thing to remember about forgiveness is when we forgive, most of the time it helps us more than the person we're forgiving because when we don't forgive, our hearts get hard and we lose focus of the mission set by God. People are really going through some things and we are too so let's be humbled and know that it's critical that we forgive to benefit all. Some people spend their entire life, not forgiving and sometimes they don't know how, don't have the courage or just in a messed up space in their lives. This is why we need to forgive to lend a helping hand even if we get the short end of the stick just do it and it will definitely make a difference in the world that we live in today. For example, something happened in my life to someone close to me and they thought my intentions and actions were not good, so they stop speaking to me and thought I was a bad person. I gave it some time because sometimes it's a time and place to do things. After I spoke my peace, I let time heal. They still didn't want to be involved in my life so what I did was opened the door again for us to communicate. It really wasn't my fault but time allowed them to realize that but they knew the love was still there. I was consistent to keep the communication open and eventually, they realize I was just loving and today we're in a better place. What I'm saying is God can change situations and bring goodness out of everything. I think we have a hard time forgiving sometimes because of our lack of faith and when we don't forgive we're condemning the other person and saying we don't have hope for that person. Forgiveness is really an act of hope and when we do it, we set that person free from judgement but it's not only the other person who's being free it's also us. Forgiveness is an act of love so when we forgive, we love so it's very important that we forgive and love because our mission is to be a disciple so think about this message and when we feel like we've been mistreated wrong, take advantage of the opportunity and show the world Jesus love. Kevin LeVar - A Heart That Forgives - YouTube Amen and Thank you Lord. Hello everyone,
I hope all is well and you know that God loves you very much. As I did some reflection, I realize that things can happen in a flash and it’s especially important to try our best to walk with the cross, have faith and try to do the right thing in our lives. Even if we get caught up at times, work at it every day one day at a time, get back up and try harder the next time so that we can be better people to serve and move toward eternal life. It's important that we work to grow within, be humble and know that life is a gift from God. It’s critical that we take care of ourselves so that we can help God’s children. I think sometimes we do take things for granted, not intentionally, but just living day to day, and not paying attention to our actions especially when it involves others. Sometimes we think we’re doing the right thing when it comes to people but if we think about it, if life is not about us, we really need to think before we act and ask what would that do to others as well as ourselves? Jesus reminds us to remove the plank in our own eye before we can try to correct someone else. Let me be clear. we’re in this together to give hope and even if it seems like we get the short end of the stick, be the better person. It will help us to grow, it will show Jesus within us, and we will become more open to knowing what’s important. I know we all are living the best way we know how and sometimes life is stressful. Therefore, it’s important to work towards getting closer to God each day and seeing through His lenses so that we know when to give Him our burdens and not stress out. The clock doesn’t stop, we’re not getting any younger and the years are moving fast. We have to take some time out and evaluate our lives. As I write this wisdom, I realize there are times in my life where I didn’t think about others, and I just thought about myself. I thought I was doing the right thing but for real and I didn’t take time out to evaluate the situations before I acted. I need conversations to clear up some things so that others can see Jesus in me and witness the goodness of our Lord. It’s very important that if we have anything negative or wrong with others, we try to mend things because everyone will benefit, and it will build The Body of Christ. The bottom line is life is short and we don’t know if we’re going to make it another day. It’s only the grace of God that allows us to be here. Let’s not think nothing can happen to us and let’s not be content with where we are in life. Life is all about serving, sacrificing, and following God’s path so that we can bring hope to the world. This gift of life that was given by God is for us to walk with love, show people Jesus in us and when we feel like we’re going in the opposite direction, do a reality check and some reflection. God is with us; we have to know that He loves us very much and His children needs us more than we know. Think about it and make a wise decision to love more, forgive more and work towards being a vessel for God. Most importantly, know that when we do the right thing, it not only helps others, but it helps us more to get closer to God and to serve our purpose. Remember you’re a chosen vessel and that God works through us to make a difference in the world.

I hope all is well. I'm just talking to my husband and wanted to share some things with you. When life gets tough, why do we always make excuses or want to give up just because things are chaotic or crazy. Stand still and know that God is with you. It's very important that we gain wisdom to know what's important, how to make decisions and how to respond to situations. Let me just say this - God is there to help us so whatever we don't know, ask Him to guide and He will do just that. Sometimes I just can't help but to think about God in situations because He's the only one who can help me get through anything. Thank you Lord and I will always love and depend on You - Alwaysness. Alwaysness - YouTube Hello everyone,
I hope all is well. Today is a new day with opportunities to grow and strengthen our relationship with God. We all are so blessed so let's not take it for granted but be appreciative of His grace and mercy. We as people need to work together to help each other to keep the hope alive but first, we have to help ourselves. We spend a lot of time saying what we want to do, blaming others for where we are in life and just dreaming but not putting in the effort. I know sometimes life can be too much, but God said give Him our burdens and He will give us rest. Let's not get distracted with trials and tribulations but take charge of our lives and allow God to help us by accepting His grace. It doesn't matter what we go through in life, nothing is too big for God to fix but we have to do our part by still standing through the storms and trusting Him. We don't even have time to stress out because that sets us back and put a pause on our lives. I know some situations do put stress on us, but this is why it's so important to have a relationship with God because when this happens, He's the only one who can get us through tough times. Life will always have chaos because we're in a spiritual warfare between good and evil, so we have to understand that we're going to go through some things, but God got our backs so we're good even in the most difficult times. He just asks us to love and try each day to obey His words so that we can serve, have joy and be at peace. The bottom line is maintaining a relationship with God by spending time with Him to gain wisdom and understanding, setting goals for our lives because it's when we don't have anything to look forward to, we get stressed and when things are not good, look up to our Lord. That's real and when we can see through those lenses, we will prosper and be able to get through anything in life. God loves us so much and He wants the best for our lives. Let's not complain or get mad at the world but instead ask God for guidance and strength so we can use our talents that He gave us to make a difference in our lives as well as the lives of others. Amen and Thank You Lord. Hello everyone,
Today is a new day so let's rejoice and be glad. God has blessed us all and He continues to hold our hand each and every day. This is why it's very important when we go through tough times, to just hold on because He's always with us and He said He will never leave. He has a plan so we have to walk with faith and allow Him to guide us to our destiny. Let's take time out to think about that for a minute. We all have something that we're dealing with but if we give up while we're in the storm, how can we ever see what He has planned for our lives. We need to allow Him to work through us so that we're guided to where we're supposed to be. God knows what's going to happen before things happen so because of that, why are we giving up or getting stressed out. Let's trust Him and I'm telling you, He will show you a victory even through the most difficult situations. He's a good God but sometimes we have to sacrifice and wait on His call. He knows what's best for us. Jesus walked with the cross to calvary and this is what He expects us to do on our journey. If things are great all the time, how can we grow, how can we become more wiser and stronger to handle life? Let's not give up but stand firm and after the storms pass, look up to the Lord and witness His grace and mercy. Amen and Thank You Lord. Hello everyone,
I hope all is well. It's a new day and God is with us all. I pray that you know God is protecting you, holding your hand and walking with you with whatever you're dealing with in life. We have got to have faith and sometimes life can get the best of us but let's always trust God and know that He's in control and He knows everything that we're dealing with in life. He's always there and I'm here to tell you that if you trust Him and wait on His direction or call, you will prosper because He has all of us in the palm of His hands. Thank you Jesus Trials and tribulations are only to make us strong so let's not get shaken when life throws curve balls but stand firm and know that it will all work out by the grace of God. We all have something we're dealing with but it's how we handle situations that take us to the next level or get us through. I always say "It's not where you came from or what you have but it's about how you handle situations now and still come out on top even in the most difficult situations. The bottom line is live your life and don't allow nothing to hold you down and that's real talk because God's grace is everything. I love you all but God always love you more. Amen |
