“Parents stand in the place of God to their children to tell them what they must do and what they must not do with firmness and perfect selfcontrol. Every effort made for them with kindness and self-control will cultivate in their characters the elements of firmness and decision....”

“Los padres ocupan el lugar de Dios ante sus hijos para decirles lo que deben hacer y lo que no deben hacer con firmeza y perfecto dominio propio Todo esfuerzo que se haga por ellos con bondad y dominio propio cultivará en su carácter los elementos de firmeza y decisión...”

SPRING FORWARD IN FAITH:

I recently moved to an area that has seasons and it’s a whole new experience for me. I've been mesmerized by the changing leaves, watching them as they shift from green to fiery reds and oranges, and just recently the trees that spent the whole winter with bare branches have sprouted small, white flowers. It’s truly beautiful to watch winter melt into spring. I go outside and feel the sun bring new warmth. It's familiar but new all at once.

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

Sometimes in order to come into a new season and spring forward in faith, we have to let go of the old season. Isaiah 43:18 NIV says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past." One of the many lessons life teaches us is to let go. We can't hang on to past hurts, past struggles, and past relationships. And, sometimes this means we have to give ourselves time to grieve in order to move forward. We may have to let ourselves feel the loss, be sad for a little while, and talk to someone who cares. After we've grieved, we can pick ourselves up and start looking ahead once again.

As spring starts to surface and the trees begin to bloom, we can see God’s reminder to align our hearts to the new thing He’s doing. Let us go to prayer, asking Jesus to help us embrace all the “ new ” he has in store for us.

Isaiah 43:19 NIV Andrea

Algo para

AVANZAD CON FE:

Recientemente me mudé a un área que tiene estaciones y es una experiencia completamente nueva para mí. Me he quedado hipnotizado por el cambio de hojas, observándolas mientras pasan del verde a rojos y naranjas intensos, y recientemente de los árboles que pasaron todo el invierno con las ramas desnudas han brotado pequeñas flores blancas. Es realmente hermoso ver cómo el invierno se convierte en primavera. Salgo y siento que el sol trae un nuevo calor. Es familiar pero nuevo a la vez.

"¡Mirad, estoy haciendo algo nuevo! Ahora brota; ¿no lo percibís? Estoy abriendo camino en el desierto y arroyos en la tierra desolada".

Isaías 43:19 NVI

A veces, para entrar en una nueva temporada y avanzar en la fe, tenemos que dejar atrás la vieja temporada. Isaías 43:18 NVI dice: "Olvídate de las cosas pasadas; no te detengas en el pasado". Una de las muchas lecciones que nos enseña la vida es dejar ir. No podemos aferrarnos a heridas, luchas y relaciones pasadas del pasado. Y, a veces, esto significa que tenemos que darnos tiempo para llorar para poder seguir adelante. Quizás tengamos que permitirnos sentir la pérdida, estar tristes por un rato y hablar con alguien que se preocupe. Después de haber pasado por el duelo, podemos levantarnos y empezar a mirar hacia adelante una vez más.

A medida que la primavera comienza a emerger y los árboles comienzan a florecer, podemos ver el recordatorio de Dios de alinear nuestros corazones con lo nuevo que Él está haciendo. Vayamos a la oración, pidiéndole a Jesús que nos ayude a abrazar todo lo “ nuevo ” que tiene reservado para nosotros.

FromMrs.Sanchez,

As February passed it still reminds of how we would like to express our care and love for those close to us. As parents one of our goals should be that our children know how much we care and love them just like our Heavenly Father cares and loves us. Today our children are seeing love as something short lived, superficial and disposable Using Jesus as our example, How can we show love to our children? Here are some ways to show Christ-like love to them! Jesus commands us 13 times in the New Testament to “love one another” in the same way He has loved us While this is a general command to love everyone we encounter, let our children be our main focus on what it looks like to love the children He has entrusted to us

1. Pray for them.

2. Pray WITH them

3. Pursue them

4. Tell them.

6. Show humility.

7. Give hugs and kisses!

8. Do something for them.

9. Encourage them.

5. Teach them the Bible
