It has been great to have all our children and their families with us this week.

We are all proud of our children, as we should be, but I have to brag on one of my

children, Lydia.

A few years ago Lydia joined “Anytime Fitness” to lose weight and to help

refocus her life. Last week she was named the “Anytime Fitness Member Success

Story of the Year”. According to Lydia, Anytime Fitness has about 6,000 gyms in all

50 States and 20 foreign countries. Each club is given the opportunity to submit suc-

cess stories. Lydia was chosen from all the Anytime Fitness gyms in the world as the

Success Story of the Year. Wow!!! In September she is being flown to Lake Placid,

New York to receive her recognition.

Obviously Lydia has dedicated a lot of time working out. She has lost a lot of

weight and added a lot of muscle. She participates in grueling competitive events in

addition to her daily workouts. It has not been easy, even though she has the

“Schlosser advantage”.

We are God’s children. I am confident that He is proud of us. I started pon-

dering, what is it that would make God want to brag about us? I think the same ele-

ments are present: it takes dedication, losing a lot of weight, gaining muscle, and

willing to endure grueling experiences. Notice how God bragged on Job: 8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no

one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and

shuns evil.” Job 1:8

Those who endure grueling experiences appear to have special honor.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had

been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. Revelation 6:9

God has not called us as spectators, but as faithful workers in the Kingdom.

Christianity is not easy even though we have the “Spirit advantage”. But the rewards

are out of this world! Better than a trip to NY.

Just Pondering

Paul’s Ponders

Vivimos en un tiempo donde nos quejamos por todo, por qué es lunes,

porque tengo que trabajar, porque no estás a tiempo, tantos porqués que nos

sacan de nuestro sano juicio, vivo en un constante estrés y tú me preguntas

porque? No dejes que tu mente y tu corazón te traicionen y termines en un

lugar donde realmente no te gustaría estar. Porque no escuchar lo que Dios

el Señor dice:

él promete paz a su pueblo y a sus fieles,

siempre y cuando no se vuelvan a la necedad, porque no hacer todo sin

quejarse y sin discutir, para que nadie pueda criticarlos. Llevando una vida

limpia e inocente como corresponde a los hijos de Dios y brillen como luces

radiantes en un mundo lleno de gente perversa y corrupta.(Filipenses 2:15)

Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto.........
