Slippery Slope

So a friend forward me this and it is so awesome, I thought I could share it with all of you who read my blog! It was of great blessing to my life and I know that it will be to you too!

Sometimes we just put ourselves in a bad place without even knowing it. Today’s devotion is a warning to those who may find themselves not completely in darkness, but hiding and doing things in the shadows.  We only deceive ourselves when we make excuses. “Be careful what you see, little eyes…” Don’t put yourself in a bad place. Stay in the light. Shadows only lead to darkness.  May this devotion bless you as it has me.

The Slippery Slope

"...to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God..." Acts 26:18 (NIV)

Have you ever felt yourself pulled into a forbidden but exciting situation? You sense red flags but convince yourself you can handle it. "I'm just having a little fun. This won't ever amount to anything. It just gives me a little something to look forward to."

That's the way a friend of mine felt when a nice guy at work started paying attention to her. Her marriage was hard and she was tired of trying so much. She found herself putting extra effort into getting dressed in the morning and being more than willing to work late.

She felt a spark in her heart every time he came near. Soon, they were talking in secret. Texting in secret. Meeting in secret. And down the slippery slope she went.

The slippery slope has one major tell tale sign—things are done in secret.

The minute we start hiding things from those who love us, doing things in a sneaky way, lying or telling half-truths, and figuring out ways to cover up evidence of our activities—we're on the slippery slope. And we're headed downhill fast.

Satan is the master of darkness. As long as he can keep us operating in our dark secrets, we are deceived. In the Message, Acts 26:17-18 we are reminded:

"'I'm sending you off to open the eyes of the outsiders so they can see the difference between dark and light, and choose light, see the difference between Satan and God, and choose God. I'm sending you off to present my offer of sins forgiven, and a place in the family, inviting them into the company of those who begin real living by believing in me.'"

Oh sweet friend, we need to see the difference between dark and light and choose light. We need to bring our choices out into the light of Jesus so He can expose the truth. Only then can we truly discern the difference between being led by Jesus or deceived by Satan.

Things done in secret are an indication of being led by Satan. That's a strong statement but one worth really considering.

Satan keeps dangers off our radar screen and blinds us to the harsh realities coming our way. My friend was blinded. And when she finally woke up to the deception, the devastation horrified her.

If you're keeping secrets today, bring them out into the light:

• Find a trusted Christian friend and ask them to help you hold your choices up to the truth.

• Get honest with people who love you.

• Build accountability measures in your life.

• Ask Jesus for help, forgiveness, and a clear understanding of how to put on the brakes and throw things in reverse. Let His truth speak louder than the feelings that are begging you to keep things hidden. Like the end of verse 18 says, "begin real living by believing in me."

The path to real living—the living that will sustain you and lead you to a true discovery of real love, real provision and real satisfaction—is found only by following Jesus.

Dear Lord, protect me from the darkness of Satan today. Help me to bring my choices into Your light, because only You can expose the truth. You are the only way. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Cada que escucho esta cancion, me toqua asta lo mas profundo de mi alma!

God is good

Lord,
Thank you for showing me once again how much you love me. I have had my falls and I have many weaknesses and struggles but you are helping me through all of them. Some desires to do the wrong thing are so strong sometimes and yes I have fallen in them but you help me get back up and keep fighting against them with great strength! There is so much to learn and to do in you, so please help me get through this tough time for me and get me back on track doing what you want me to do. I know it's not going to be easy but it is not impossible in you. I have a long ways to go, and some of the things you are going to change will hurt and some I will not even notice when they are gone, and it will all be worth it at the end! Please don't let me fall from your hand Lord Jesus! Thank you God for being so good to me for I don't deserve it....

TODO LO QUE SOY

SALMO 103

“Que todo lo que soy alabe al Senor; con todo el corazon alabare su santo nombre.

Que todo lo que soy alabe al Senor; que nunca olvide todas las cosas buenas que hace por mi.

El perdona todos mis pecados y sana todas mi enfermedades.

Me redime de la muerte y me corona de amor y tiernas misericordias.

Colma mi vida de cosas buenas; mi juventud se renueva como la del aguila!

El Senor da rectitude y hace justicia a los que son tratados injustamente.

Dio a conocer su caracter a Moises y sus obras al pueblo de Israel.

El Senor es compasivo y misericordioso, liento para enojarse y esta lleno de amor inaotable.

No nos reprendera todo el tiempo, ni seguira enojado para siempre.

No nos castiga por todo nuestros pecados, no no trata con la severidad que merecemos.

Pues su amor inagotable hacia los que le temen es tan inmenso como la altura de los cielos sobre la tierra.

Llevo nuestros pecados tan lejos de nosotros como esta el oriente del occidente.

El Senor es como un padre con sus hijos, tierno y compasivo con los que le temen.

Nuestros dias sobre la tierra son como la hierba; igual que las flores silvestres, florecemos y morimos.

El viento sopla, y desaparecemos como si ninca hubieramos estado aqui.

Pero el amor del Senor permanence para siempre con los que le temen. Su salvacion se extiende a los hijos de los hijos de los que son fieles a su pacto, de los que obedecen sus mandamientos!

El Senor ha hecho de los cielos su trono, desde alli gobierna todo.

Alaben al Senor, ustedes los angeles, ustedes los poderosos que llevan a cabo sus planes, que estan atentos a cada uno de sus mandates.

Si, alaben a Senor, ejercitos de angeles que le sirven y haven su voluntad!

Alabe al Senor todo lo que el ha creado, todolo que hay en su reino. Que todlo lo que soy, alabe al SENOR.

O el Senor es tan bueno con nosostros y realmente su amor y misericordia es inagotable para los que le temen! En este salmo podemos ver cuanto Dios nos ama y cuanta misericordia a tenido con nosotros cada dia. No importa cuantas veces hemos fallado o cuan grande es nuestro pecado, El esta siempre alli para salvarnos. Pero esto no es para todos, pues claramente dice aqui en este salmo que  para los que le temen, los fieles que guardan su pacto, que practican sus mandatos. Somos mas que previligiados de tener al Senor para obtener la salvacion.

Devemos recordarnos todos los dias de decirnos a nosotros mismos que alabemos al Senor. Muchas veces pasamos todo el dia corriendo de un lado para otro y nos olvidamos de alabarle al El. Cuando menos acordamos, se nos fue todo el dia, y nos acostamos tan agotados, que ya no le damos esa alabanza al que se lo merece. Recuerdate que El fue el unico que pudo perdonar tus pecados, el unico que de dio la livertad y que a podido cambiar tu vida para que seas lo major de ti. Recordemonos todas las cosas buenas que a hecho en nuestras vidas, pues El solo nos a dado lo major.

Y el Senor es tan precioso con sus hijos, que dice que la bendicion no es solamente para nosotros, sino que para nuestros hijos tambien!

Recordemos que no somos nada sin El  y Dios sabe nuestras debilidades asi que solo se honesto con el. Peus El permanence para siempre con nosotros si le tememos a El y le alabamos con todo nuestro Corazon!

Padre gracias por todo lo que tu nos dices en este Salmo tan precioso. Y auque esta carne no quiera alabarte en todo tiempo, yo dire; alma mia, alaba a Jehova, para recordarle que  el que gobierna en mi eres tu!

SALMO 50:7-23

 Oye, pueblo mio, y hablare;

Escucha, Israel, y testificare contra ti:

Yo soy Dios, el Dios tuyo.

No te reprendere por tus scrificios,

Ni por tus holocaustos, que estan continuamente

Delante de mi.

No tomare de tu casa becerros,

Ni machos cabrios de tus apriscos.

Porque mia es toda bestia del bosque,

Y los millares de animales en los collados.

Conozco a todas las aves de los montes,

Y todo lo que se mueve en los campos me pertenece.

Si yo tuviese hambre, no te lo diria a ti;

Porque mio es el mundo y su plenitud.

He de comer yo carne de toros,

O de beber sangre de machos cabrios?

Sacrifica a Dios alabanza,

Y paga tus votos al Altisimo;

E invocame en el dia de la angustia;

Te librae, y tu me honraras.

Pero al malo dijo Dios:

Que tienes tu que hablar de mis leyes,

Y que tomar mi pacto en tu boca?

Pues tu aborreces la correccion,

Y echas a tu espalda mis palabras.

Si veias al ladron, tu corrias con el,

Y con los adulteros era tu parte.

Tu boca metias en mal.

Ytu lengua componia engano.

Tomabas asiento, y hablabas contra tu hermano;

Contra el hijo de tu madre ponies infamia.

Estas cosas hiciste, y yo he callado;

Pensabas que de cierto seria yo como tu;

Pero te reprendere y las ponder delante de tus ojos.

Entended ahora esto, los que os olvidais de Dios,

No sea que os despedace, y o haya quien os libre.

El que sacrifica alabanza me honrara;

Y al que ordenare su camino,

Le mostrare la salvacion de Dios.

Cuando lei este Salmo me impacto mucho,

Pues si te pones a leer bien estas palabras,

Te darias cuenta que Dios nunca se olvida de nada.

El mira todo lo que pasa y abeses se queda callado,

Pero esto no significa que lo pasa de largo.

Lo que esta haciendo es dandonos tiempo de arrepentirnos

Y de cambiar  lo malo por lo bueno.

Otra cosa que me impacto de este Salmo es que,

Nosotros pensamos muchas veses que si hacemos sacrificios

Es suficiente para que Dios no venga contra nosotros sino

Que este de nuestro lado. Pero Dios aqui

Nos dice lo que a el verdaderamente le agrada,

La alabazas y pagar nuestros votos.

Por que? Por que dice que cuando hacemos esto,

Le estamos honrando.  Asi que,

No importa cuantos sacrificios agamos, tenemos que

Alabarle y honrarle a El, para que nunca nos

Olvidemos de que El es nuestro Dios.

Demosle toda nuestra alabanza y ordemos nuestros

Caminos para poder ver su salvacion!

Just a thought

But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the 

Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the 

Egyptians became. The Egyptians tried to wear down the  

Hebrew people by forcing them into slavery and mistreating  

them. Instead, the Hebrews multiplied and grew stronger.

When we are burdened or mistreated, we may feel defeated.  

But our burdens can make us stronger and can develop   

qualities in us that will prepare us for the future. We  

cannot be over comers without troubles to overcome. Be true  

to God in the hard times because even the worst situations 

can make us better people.

How many times have we done this?

Exodus 4:10-13
But Moses pleaded with the Lord. "O Lord, I'm not very good with words, I never have been, and I'm not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled." Then the Lord asked Moses, "Who makes a person's mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say." But Moses again pleaded, "Lord, please! Send anyone else."
Moses pleaded with God to let him out of his mission. After all, he was not a good speaker and would probably embarrass both himself and God. But God looked at Moses' problem quite differently. All Moses needed was some help, and who better than God to help him say and do the right things? God made his mouth and would give him the words to say. It is easy for us to focus on our weaknesses, but if God asks us to do something, then he will help us get the job done. If the job involves some of our weak area, then we can trust that he will provide words, strength, courage, and ability where needed.  Don't be discouraged, when God tells you to do something that you are not strong in, just trust him and let him surprise you! Sometimes all we are doing is making excuses so that we don't have to do it and we think it is very convenient that we can use our weaknesses. Look even if we argue with God, we will still do what he says because he never looses! Don't let your fears get in the way of doing extraordinary things for God, just ask for him to help you every step of the way and you will soon realize that you are stronger than you thought. 
JOHN 11:40. Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" ...

Recuerda

Que ha hecho Dios en tu vida?Puedes nombrar por lo menos una sola cosa que El ha hecho en tu vida? Recuerdas de donde te saco Dios?A mi Dios me salvo, me limpio, me sano, me restauro, y me llamo hacer cosas grandes y ocultas que yo no conosco!Me saco de un camino de muerte y destruccion. Un camino de amargura, soledad, depresion, y de maldad.
Medita en esto por que muchas veces se nos olvida darle gracias al unco que pudo sacarnos de donde andavamos y el unico que podia limpiar nuestro pasado! Al unico que estuvo dispuesto a dar su vida por ti y por mi! Gracias Jesus, mi alma te alaba y te glorifica solo a ti!

An amazing God

Wow don't even know where to start! See not too long ago I was going through some stuff and I just thought that God was unfair with me. I believed that he just didn't care about me like he says in his word. I would remember all of the things he had promised for my life and all the things he said I was going to be but I just could not believe that it was going to happen. I gave up and didn't want anything anymore but then he came to me and he told me something that completely changed my life.

 He said " go and ask for forgiveness to the ones that you think hurt you, forget about what happened, support and back them up 101%, get up and rejoice in ME!" He showed me that he loved me even if I didn't love him back and that he was always there with me listening to all of my thought and my heart. At those moments when I thought no one even cared or worried about me, he was there next to me. All of those times that I cried in secrete and all of those times I did not let anyone see my hurt and my anger, guess what? He was the only one that was there right next to me.

 Oh and let me tell you, I went and did what he told me and nothing has been the same! I see everything in a different way and I believe that what he has already set for my life, my purpose in life, will come to be in the time he has set for me. So if you find yourself in this same situation, just know that you are not alone, he's right there with you, you are not the only one that has felt that way, many of us do at some point, and that you will come out of it victorious as long as you hold on to the Lord, even if its by a thread! Remember, HE LOVES YOU ALWAYS NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OR HOW BAD YOU THINK IT IS, HE DOESN'T MEASURE BAD THE WAY WE DO AND HE DOESN'T GIVE UP ON US THE WAY WE GIVE UP ON HIM!!!! THAT'S WHY HE IS SOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING AND THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM :)

Something to think about

READ: Jeremiah 7:16-19

 In the verses before these, the Lord had been speaking to Judah over and over again about their wrong doings, but they would not listen to change this. They continued to believe lies and make offerings with no fear of the true Living God. God always lets us know when we are doing wrong. He tells us over and over again but we also choose to do the evil anyways. We still lie to one another, we steal from each other, we hurt each other, we talk against each other. We keep our other gods in the down low and we sometimes even doubt that God is the only one. We forget about God and we do offerings to the other gods. We loose faith and we don't read the word of God or seek his presence. We even put him to the side like he is no one in our life.God is tiered of this! He can't put up with us anymore when we are acting this way. Why do we expect for God not to punish us? He will punish us for turning away from him, for ignoring him. How can he not? When one of our kids is not doing what we asked them to do, or they know something is wrong and they do it anyways. What do we do as parents? Do we just let them be, or do we tell them something to correct the issue and have them pay the consequences of their wrong doing?We are the children of God, so in the same way we do with our children, he will have to do with us. We can't go on doing whatever we want and expect God not to do anything about it. He told Jeremiah not to pray for the people that were doing this. He said not to even beg for help because he will not listen anymore. Do we want God to say the same thing about us one day? Do you really want him to just leave you alone?God talks to us over and over again about our evil ways. We have no excuse to give him. He has mercy, love, and patience with us and this is why he tells us over and over again. Sometimes we take tis for granted. We think that he has to forgive us, but the truth is, he doesn't have too. He chooses too because he loves us that much. This does not change the fact that one day he will say no more. There will be a day when he will no longer listen to your prayers, to your begging of mercy and forgiveness. If we continue our evil ways knowing what is right and what is wrong, one day you will realize that all you had was God and you lost him because you didn't want to take him seriously. We can't play with God. We can't fool God and do one thing in church and another out there in the world. God can never be fooled so he is giving us the choice right now. What do we want God to do for us? Do we want him to forget about us and just leave us alone? or do we want him to help us in every day of our lives? Can we really live without him?God says that when we don't listen and do evil knowing the truth, we don't hurt him, we are only hurting ourselves. But not only that, he says we are bringing shame also to ourselves. He is still the all Powerful God and he is good and has done what he should on his end to help us, but we are the ones that don't care. So, he brings to us what we are asking for. Like when he destroys the earth, if we don't listen to him and change our evil ways, guess what's going to happen on that day? We are not going to be helped on that horrible day. He will no longer listen to us and we will spend eternity in the lake of fire. There will be nothing that can excuse us from this because we made the choice when we ignored Gods warnings. The choice is ours today, right now. Do we want Gods anger to come down on us or are we ready to listen and change so we can receive his mercy and love?Written by me, inspired by God!

Rejoice in the One and Only

Saiah 61:10 The Lord makes me very happy; all that I am rejoices in my God. He has covered me with clothes of salvation and wrapped me with a coat of goodness, like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding, like a bride dressed in jewels.

This is how we should feel right now. We should be very happy, we need to rejoice with everything that we are, for the Lord has given us Salvation. He has wrapped us with his Holy Spirit and we have goodness in us now. He has made us worthy of him, and he has given us everything that we need to change our life and those around us. He has shown us the way of life and has given us the choice to choose between life and death. He never forces us to do anything and he walks with us when we do his will.

He is good to us because he loves us that much. He gave us salvation and that alone should be enough for us to rejoice in him. He created us and he is the only one that can give us life. he will never leave us, even when we tell him to go away. He promises to be with us no mater what happens to us till the end of our life. He is faithful and he is the only one that doesn't care what you have done in the past. 

He has the power to change our paths, to change our character, our attitude, and everything that is in us that needs to be changed. Only he can clean us from our stains and change our vision too.

God is the only good one. He didn't have to give up his one and only son to be tortured and killed for us how are sinners and nobodies. He doesn't have to forgive us or be with us. He doesn't have to love us at all. He is good and he chooses to do everything for s who are not worthy and he made us worthy in his eyes. His love for us is so great, that he thought of giving up his only son to die for us, but he didn't just think about it, he did it for us.

Many of us think about doing something good for someone else, but that is it. We only thought about it but we are so selfish, that we never do it. God is different, if he thinks about something he does it in our life. He doesn't just think about helping us when we need him, he goes ahead and helps us. 

Think about it, shouldn't all of this that you know about God make us very happy? Shouldn't we rejoice with all that we are because of who he is? Shouldn't we give him all of us since he has given all of him to us? Has he not been good to you, so that you can give him your praise?

HE IS THE ONLY ONE WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!!!

Get back up

Micah 7:7-10

Israel says, "I will look to the Lord for help. I will wait for God to save me; my God will hear me. Enemy don't laugh at me. I have fallen, but I will get up again. I sit in the shallow of trouble now, but the Lord will be a light for me. I sinned against the Lord, so he was angry with me, but he will defend my case in court. He will bring about what is right for me. Then He will bring me out into the light, and I will see him set things right. Then my enemies will see this, and they will be ashamed, those who said to me: where is the Lord you God? I will look down on them. They will get walked on, like mud in the street. 

This is one of my favorites because at some point in our life in Christ, we fall short of the Lords grace, and we feel like that's it for us. We think that we will never get back up, but when I read this chapter I realize that we need to think like this. We need to tell ourselves the same thing over and over again when we have fallen. We need to believe in this and not let ourselves think otherwise. 

When I read this , it was in a time when I had sinned so much against God, that I really believed that He was not going to take me back. I didn't think I would be able to get up again and be a better daughter of God. But He surprised me and He is showing me that I am wrong about this because He is faithful and now I can say to the enemy that he can't win this battle against me because the All Powerful God is with me! 

So get back up and don't let things in your life keep you down, it's hard I know, but when we understand that the Lord is with us, then nothing is impossible. God wants us t get up and to know that we are not meant to be down, He made us victorious in him. We can win every battle if we put him first and He will take us back if we really repent and want him in our lives. Just keep moving forward and you will see the great things the Lord can do in your life! Don't loose faith in Him for he doesn't leave us in the middle of the battles. 

What's in your heart?

Lord,

Thank you for the chance you have given me to come before you knowing that I'm not worthy. Thank you for loving me first and for the sacrafice you have done for me. You have given me salvation and I know you are my Father so you always talk to me just in time.

I want to ask you for forgiveness tonight for my sins, the ones that I know and the ones I don't but you know them. For you are the one that knows all so please forgive me. Forgive me for all the bad thoughts, lies, jealousy, envy, hate, and all the ones I have done. Lord clean me and fill me with your burning fire! Lord, that your burning fire consume all sin that is in me. Don't stop talking to me ever, because I need you more every day!

Don't let me fall short from you, cover me with your wings and let my heart always be attached to yours. Give me knowledge and wisdom to teach others of your word and lead them in the right path. God only you are worthy to be praised!

Give me peace tonight like you have been every night. Show me how to wait for your promisses, I know you will do what you have promissed! Show me how to do what you have send me to do for your Kingdom! I want to say like those prophets: I am here, what do you want me to do!Forgive me for making you cry every time I am not listening to you or when I'm disobedient! Don't leave me Holy Spiritn please, stay with me, stay in me!

I ask you for mercy for all of humanity, for all the sinners, and for all of those that don't know about you yet. Talk to me every day and show me those things that are hidden but great for our life! Only you are worthy to be praised!!!Love you Lord Jesus!

What does God want?

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Now, everything has been heard, so I give my final advice; Honor God and obey his commands, because this is all people must do. God will judge everything, even what is done in secrete, the good and the evil.


The only thing we have to do is Honor and Obey God! This is all he wants us to do. To him it is very important that we learn to obey him and all of his commands. He doesn't ask us to pay him any other way but to honor and obey him. I know it sounds really easy and it should be if we really let him take over our life. Most of us don't and we end up disobeying God. He's not asking us for much but we don't want to give any of us to him. We are the ones that make everything so difficult in our life. We are so used to doing wrong and evil that it is very hard for us just to obey God and do good. This is why God says that he will be with us till the last day and just to call to him and he will be there for us. He know how difficult we make it t obey his commands. He didn't just give us orders he told us he was going to help us every step of the way, because he knew we would never be able to do it on our own. 
God will be the one that will judge us and even if we think we are getting away with something just because we have it hiding and no one knows what we do, He Knows! There"s nothing that goes by him that will not be judged. He knows and sees everything even when we know that it's hiding in a very good place. Just because we think we have gotten away with something here and there in our life, doesn't mean that he didn't see them. He did and he will judge us according to everything we did, good and bad.
Many bad people think that just because they haven't gotten caught, they got away with it, but it is not like that. One day when they have to stand in front of the Lord, they will have to face those things they did. 
We as christians too, we think sometimes that we got away with something now, we will never be caught and no one will know. But there is one that is always watching and we can not get away from Him. He will judge us on that day and it will be worst for us who know the Lord and all of his teachings for our life. There is nothing that we will be able to hide from him and he will not let us slide just because we are his children. It will be harder for us because we didn't call out to him to help us turn away from evil. He will help us. but it is up to us to do what he commands. We have the choice to what we want our end to be. He has given us everything we need to have a great ending but if we don't take it then we will end up worst than those who refused Him in the first place.
Don't let evil fool you, you have to look to the Lord and he will always be there to help you with those temptations in your life. We have to fight that fight to be able to win over evil. Remember that the one that is with you is much greater and powerful than that one that is around you trying to take control of you! 

Thank You

Thank you for today, for my family, and for everything you are doing in my life. You are doing many amazing things and I am sorry for offending you in any way. I want to do your will and obey whatever it is you tell me to do or say.

Please Lord, transform me and use me in doing your work to save others from this evil world.

Give me that love for the people that you want to save. I want to be able to speak for you to those that you put in my way. I want them to see you in me and that they can also see a reflection of you and feel your presence too. Give me anointing to talk to others and also to preach your word!

Thank you for that word that came just in time! You know when to do things to save us from where we put ourselves in. You always come at the right time and you always amaze us! You are so great that I don't even know what else to say. That all the glory be for you who is the only one worthy to be praised. Give me a new song in my heart towards you and let me sing and praise you in any situation that I am facing. Give me great faith and wisdom to understand and do what your word tells me. That everything I do, your name be exalted and glorified! 

Just wanted to praise Him

Good morning Lord, you have given us a great day today! Thank you for all of the blessings. We get to feel your presence and read your powerful word today because you have given us another chance to do so :) Lord, today I ask that you do something powerful in our lives, that you transform our lives! That you open our eyes, ears, and heart to hear what you have to say to us! You are greater and more powerful than the enemy and you make us stronger too! Thank you for your amazing love, mercy and salvation! Only you are worthy to be praised and to receive honor! Only you are good and want the best for us. Only you gave up your only son to die for us and only you show us your great love every day! Only you can transform a life, heart, and mind! Lord only you are God and there is non like you! You are almighty and who can come against you? We can always come to you because we know that you are listening and you are always waiting for us with open arms! Thank you for those hard times too because they have made me stronger each time and I can always trust that you will pull me through! I can not live without you because I know I am nothing without you. You give true happiness and you have always been faithful to us. Thank you!!!!
