Awaiting Your Arrival

Image
My dear first grandchild, I am not sure where to start or what I want to say. You see, I never thought about having you come into my life before. Such a surprise to learn that you my dear child was already being perfectly fitted and well put together by God within your Mama’s womb. It was July 29, 2023 on a Saturday when your Daddy came over with the above box and the note was inside. Both your Auntie Di and I let out a scream of joy and surprise. We were talking at a 200 miles an hour, and for us Puerto Ricans that is just about right, when we get excited. As you can see, someone thought that you would be a boy. But you showed us all then that there would be no stopping you once you make up your mind! So glad that you are almost here. Your due date is not until 3/11/2024, so we still have 11 days to go (less than 2 weeks). I try to imagine what you would look like? Tiny, light, crying, and perfect. Will you know your Dad? Will you recognize his voice? Will you wonder who are all these

Word 4 Today - “Cling”

Image
Cling is to hold fast to; do not let go; keep close. Let’s look at scripture for examples where the word “cling” is referenced and let’s ask how can I apply it to my life. Luke 8:15 - taken from the parable about the farmer, the seed and the soil ….  “But the good soil represents honest, good hearted people who hear God’s message, cling to it, and steadily produce a harvest.” Here we see a good lesson in hearing the Word. In Luke 7:9-15, we are given a picture of people all listening to a message. We know that here Luke is speaking about spiritual things, but let’s also consider it as being in a godly counsel setting, maybe a group study, a classroom or a business meeting, etc. In other words, the lesson can be applied in many areas of your life. Whenever there is a message of hope or  truth that will change your life, there you will find, that how you listen will determine what you heard. 1. You can hear it and allow it to be taken from you and prevent you from believing what you hear

Word 4 Today “Out of the Darkness “

Image
“While we were yet sinners, God called us out of the darkness and into His wonderful Light” Do not be surprised when you don’t fit in with this world. The world loves their own .. therefore it will find ways to cause you trouble and ways to stumble you.. Do not be surprised.. 1 Peter 4:3-4 “For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.  In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you”

Word 4 Today - “Aroma”

Image
A Christ-like Aroma Studies have shown that specific scents can evoke strong emotional memories and activate our brain in unique ways. The olfactory system, responsible for our sense of smell, directly links the brain's areas associated with memory and emotion. In Ephesians 5:1-2, Paul describes a unique kind of scent—not one we can smell with our noses, but one that is evidence of a life lived in imitation of Christ:  "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Just as scents linger and leave an imprint, when we imitate Christ–choosing love over indifference, forgiveness over resentment, and selflessness over self-interest–our lives become a fragrant aroma to God and to those around us.  It’s not always easy to mirror Christ's love. It is, however, always a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God that permeates our relationships, workplaces, and communi

WORD 4 TODAY - “Our Spirit Groans”

Image
 Beloved Joey  Romans 8:22-25 “For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering.  We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.   We were given this hope when we were saved. If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it.   But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently."

“We All Go The Way of Grace”

Image
     Proverbs 21:22 “Whoever pursues righteous and unfailing love will find life, righteousness and honor” Father, Elohim,  “Thank you” 4 putting your wonderful creation together for all to enjoy and be rich by it all. Today in LA it has been raining, which is one thing we do not get much of .. but I “thank you” for it. It’s a time of slowing down.  It’s a time to sit and be still in the comfort of a warm home with family. I “thank you” Lord for the newness that comes with rain. It washes our soul and our mind.  We can take time to be still and reflect on where I AM .. where am I going .. and how to get there. The rain brings us to a stop and a moment to care about family, to look at ourselves and a chance for change, if needed. The rain heals the soul and lights it up with hope and freshness.  It’s a bath from head to toe that relaxes my spirit with the feeling of cleansing within me. Take time to enjoy this amazing season!  job leon https://youtu.be/Zua8MJxnAwE?si=Qq1O56hCjfVDlrjksi
