Time to give thanks! And time for giving!

In my last posting I was referring myself to the negative sides of life, and the consequent negative approaches and comments about the ways wrongdoings affect us, and spread confusion, that prevents a positive approach to the challenges, and the possibility of overcoming them.


The paramount feeling was the desire to convey the need to stop blaming others and doing something to find solutions or ways out, ourselves.


I was planning to keep on commenting the derivations of the seven sinful tendencies of the human beings, in an effort to highlight the well intentioned deeds of some ministries, which I will, anyway, point out in the videos that will be included down here.


But, some things happened in a whirl winding way the last two weeks that have somehow highlighted and brought out, to the surface, the real existence and need for hope and trust in the resilience of the younger human beings.


I had to make 2 trips and was able to cross the vertical lines of society. It was a lesson to see from the top down and from down to the top, people living, people enduring, people facing life with resolve.


It was so intimately moving being able to dance in a posh hotel and listen to old and young, concerned with the outcome of a life based on lasting moral values. It was also moving to see them already making plans to be ready to make a difference for themselves and those around them.

It is rewarding to see them in action. It is encouraging being able to sort out the deluge of messages of so many others who will themselves in a daily mood to share the messages I share after making them my own.




It is rewarding to see that in the midst of adversity and disgrace, and as newer leaves and branches, out of the debris rises again the positively ingrained potential and longing of better things and futures that these younger generations will have to nurture and rely upon to be able to keep on walking and leaving a legacy to their children.


We, as humans, are not different from one another. We just feel we are, in the mistaken approach to strengthen up our personalities. We just react differently, and we discriminate our fellows, in the sadly, futile, effort to step upon them to reach what we consider is rightfully ours, being that pedestals of any type and mesmerizing social positions.


And, for not understanding this vital concept, we lose what is most valuable of all. Our sensitivity and the ingrained but innerly suffocated moral values that keep on knocking at the door of our conscience, reminding us that we all are, at least, partners in the journey of life, if we cannot accept the rightful but blistering notion that we are brothers and sisters.

Because this is what we are, brothers and sisters born from different human parents, but with a sole creator who did not created antagonists but complementally beings in order to tackle with the task of stewardship-ing His created nature where He placed us to enjoy and care for.


A myriad of thoughts and feelings have been overwhelming my mind and my spirit. They will give birth to future series of sharing’s and comments under the generic label of “Life question marks” that I will share as they sprout up in my spirit.


For the time being let´s enjoy the messages that are the core of the down here following postings. Meanwhile, let´s give thanks for what of good has happened in our lives.


Thanks, also, for the already overcome trials and the trials to come so we become better people. Thanks for everything, people and things that have been the chisel in the loving hands of God, in order to perfect our beings, as well as the refiner’s fire that has burned down our carnal and spiritual impurities.


And thanks for all those who have dedicated their life to help the dispossessed and the needy.
