The A B C’s of LIFE

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? How do you answer the question? 1. Loss makes humans consider how fragile relationships can be. a. Do not take one another 4 granted. b. Do not be jealous  c. Do not let anger into your heart d. Be ready to always let things go e. Enjoy life and rejoice in ALL times .. easy, sad, hurtful and in loss f. Forgive .. it isn’t hard to do when you know that it is good to forgive  g. Learn to be content with what you have .. Be grateful … and  find “joy” where you are and in the things you do have. h. Give .. share God’s wisdom  1. give of your time 2. give of your abundance 3. give an ear 4. give good counsel  5. remember the unloveable  6. prayer i. A healthy attitude  j. Beauty, find it in the things you see and do k. Laugh. It’s good medicine and if you learn to laugh at yourself, you will see others more clearly l. Love is giving of yourself.

Fraternidad Ramos Salazar passed away on Monday, 6/17/2024 at 8:15pm. We are grateful for God's mercy and peace, I am rejoicing for my Mom is now resting. No more being bedridden or alone! “To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord”.  I had a wonderful day yesterday with her.  I read to her the three (3) epistles of John and explained to her that her body would return to the earth but that her soul will be with the Lord and that she will have a new body with no more pain! Amen Then my kids came by and we told jokes and spoke to her about “it was time for her to go and that we would miss her but that we would be okay”. Had sweet fellowship with her for about 3 hours and then she left earth! Funny how I told Mom to “go home to be with the Lord” last Sunday when she was still alert.  Mom had said to me, that she “was tired and wanted to go”. But she waited 8 more days, until we all came together to tell Mom how much she was loved and that it was good for her to “go no

Fraternidad Ramos Rodriguez Salazar Age 89 years young March 25,1935 SIBLINGS Lucia Ramos  Monchito Ramos Leonides Ramos Efren Ramos Sunday, June 16, 2024 Time 12:16pm Hospice Nurse calls after daily monitoring. Respiration at 16 but can not get an oxygen reading. Questions if okay to try using oxygen so to get a reading.  Leslie, Hospice nurse and I pray “Lord, let Your Will be done” and I answered her, yes go ahead and see if Mom will allow it.  She refuses any oxygen, so the 2nd question is about medication for her comfort going forward. The decision is made to place an order for morphine at the Hospice standard dose for her weight of 97 pounds. The directive is given to the hospital and Hospice staff to use morphine as comfort care moving forward. I send a prayer request to my church family asking for their prayers.

Transition

  Many ways to transition… career, schools, and from life to death. Have you thought of how you will transition from this physical world into the spiritual realm? First, you will need to believe that there is a spiritual realm. Secondly, your body is well designed to know how to prepare itself to leave this physical world and transition into the spiritual world. The body and the person both are aware of the changes to come and must accept this truth.  King Solomon the wisest of men, had a fool’s attitude when writing the book of Ecclesiastics. As he begins his writing he describes man and the world without any hope.  Ecclesiastes 3:11 “Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.     So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for

“The Great Divide”

Matthew 10:34-36 “Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword.  “I have come to set a man against his father,   a daughter against her mother,  and a daughter-in-law against her  mother-in-law.  Your enemies will be right in your own household”  5/3/2024.    John 17:9-12 I pray for them; I do not pray for the world, but for those You have given Me, because they belong to You;   And all things that are Mine are Yours, and  all things that are  Yours are Mine; and I am glorified in them.  I am no longer in the world; yet they are still in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name,  the name  which You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are.   While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them  and  protected them, and not one of them was lost except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
