Reflexão da Semana
A Parede Derrubada
Uma vez meu filho, subiu num sofá, colocou a mão na cintura e perguntou: pai, quando eu ficar desta altura, como é que você vai fazer para eu lhe obedecer?
E eu me lembrei daquele sermão do pastor. Pensei em responder algo duro e vigoroso, tipo: “eu é que ponho a comida na mesa”. Mas já havia pensado muito tempo no assunto, e respondi:
— Meu filho, enquanto nossas relações forem tão vitais para você quanto são para mim; enquanto você precisar de mim, tanto quanto eu preciso de você; enquanto a gente sofrer quando está longe um do outro, enquanto a gente sentir saudade; enquanto a gente se amar como ama hoje, eu lhe direi: “vai!” e você irá; “fica!” e você ficará. Porque você me ama. Mas se algum dia uma parede de separação se levantar entre nós, seja da indiferença, seja da incompreensão, seja até do ódio, então nem eu lhe direi nada, nem você precisará obedecer, porque não fará mais a menor diferença.

things my father taught me

My earthly father taught me much on this earth, and in his death, I’ve learned even more, thanks to the provision of our heavenly Father. No matter what we experience in life, we can trust that God will be with us, and we can know that God will bring purpose from our pain and struggles.
In our lives we can persevere, hope, and dream. And we can trust that God is in control of it all, working for our good.

My niece resembles to Shania Twain .It is a pitty that she does not sing as well .

Fearless

"Be not afraid, only believe" (Mark 5:36).

I find treasure out in the deep. It's okay that I can't see what's ahead; grace undergirds me through all kinds of difficulties. I trust His life. And while I've set sail from the shores of unbelief, past those shallow waters of safety, I'm running into uncharted waters (for me, anyway) but that's okay, too. Beneath me are the Everlasting Arms, guiding me past the rocks and snares. He won't let me drown because He's my strength, from beginning to end. He's your strength, too.

I am a beliver

IBelieve...That we should celebrate everyday,
for everyday is a gift from God.
I Believe.
That we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.
I Believe...
That either you allow God to control your attitude,
or it controls you
I Believe...That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.But, I'm still breathing, so God's not done with me yet.I Believe...That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,will be the ones to put out their handsand help you get back up.
I Believe...That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences we've had,and what we've learned from them...and less to do with how manybirthdays we've celebrated.
I Believe...That sin costs more than we ever expect to pay.
I Believe...That you can never fall so far that you are beyond the reach of God.
I Believe...That though we sometimes fail,God's love covers a multitude of sins.
I Believe...That you can't merely go around your grief,you have to go through it to heal.
I Believe...That though we travel through difficult waters,God will give us the strength to swim.
I Believe...That when we feel the loneliest,God is still right beside us.I Believe...That though others may fail us,God's love never ends.
I Believe...That all things happen for a reason,though we may never know their purpose.
I Believe...That miracles happen every day.
I Believe...That when we open our broken hearts to God,His healing love rushes in.
I Believe...That when we give our lives to the Lord,we breathe for the very first time.
I Believe..."That love never gives up, never loses faith,is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." (1 Corinthians 13:7)

when God speaks my name

Galations 5: 22
IT’S QUIET. It’s early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The world is still asleep. The day is coming.In a few moments the day will arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun. The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day. The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race. The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day’s demands. It is now that I must make a choice. Because of Calvary, I’m free to choose. And so I choose.I choose love . . .No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves.I choose joy . . .I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical . . . the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.I choose peace . . .I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live.I choose patience . . .I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I’ll invite him to do so. Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moment to pray. Instead of clinching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.I choose kindness . . .I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.I choose goodness . . .I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse. I choose goodness.I choose faithfulness . . .Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my children will never fear that their father will not come home.I choose gentleness . . .Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.I choose self-control . . .I am a spiritual being. After this body is dead, my spirit will soar. I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal. I choose self-control. I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by my faith. I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ. I choose self-control.Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

reflections about life

Hey, you. Yep, you. The one feeling a little weary.
Carrying that load. Fighting this battle.
You're amazing, you know that? It's true.
And you can do this with Him. I know it. I feel it. Keep going.
It feels like your strength is small. But it's not.
It's BIG.World changing big.Make-it-over-that-mountain big.
Big enough to do what you need to do.Because your strength is as big as the GOD in you.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
He sees you, loves you, will carry you through... and I'm cheering for you too.-
Holley Gerth

yes ...for sure the difference that makes the difference is Jesus Christ into our life ....just think about that

repartir , partir, dividir, somar e acrescentar é isso mesmo .

ai que saudades ...

no mar da vida ...

Esta linda canção tem consolado muito o meu espírito e firmado minha fé nas promessas do Senhor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lPHIL_E7Cw

no mar da vida ...

"Criando raízes, crescendo ao redor,
Com Deus lado a lado, a cada dia
.Seu fruto há de ser bem melhor.
Mais forte que a morte
Bem mais que paixão
Serão corações no mesmo coração
No mesmo barco, no mar da vida ...
