Don't Stop Teaching

By: Salina Limonez Hernandez

You know how in the bible it says

"6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Let me tell you one thing it's so true. My mother in law and I were talking yesterday and I was telling her how my son likes listening to Christian music compared to some other kids out there. I'll also catch him singing songs that are playing on the radio not only that he loves to learn about the Bible. Yes my husband listens to rock, rap and Spanish every now and then and he will hear the beat and likes it but my point is I’m not going to let that get in my way of teaching him about Christ. I am just so proud of what I can see right now in the way my son is. I want to encourage you out there those of you who have children/grandchildren no matter
if their 5 like mine or 15 even an adult NEVER stop talking to them about God because that is what this world needs today more than anything.
You might say well what if I my kids are already grown and I taught them about God when they were small even took them to church and now they want nothing to do with God?
My answer to that is pray because God will remind them what they were taught and HE will bring them back to Him, it might not be in our time but It will be in HIS
timing.

Not Sure Where To Start

 By: Salina Limonez Hernandez

Yesterday I messaged a friend and asked her how she does her bible readings, if she had a bible plan or what? I told her I was struggling because I wasn't sure where to start. Mind you I've been a Christian for quite some time now and still have trouble reading the bible. So those of you out there who feel the same way you’re not alone! Well I was reading a devotional to my son and it came to mind what I had messaged my friend about (struggling because I wasn't sure where to start) well hello Salina! I'm reading scripture right now! Even though it’s a children’s devotional it's the best place to start. When you read Gods word there is no "best" place to start because no matter where you read He still has a message for you.

Being Thankful

By: Salina Limonez Hernandez

I made breakfast for my son and I this morning it was egg tacos. While we were eating at the table I remembered this video on the 700 club I saw last night about a little girl who her parents didn't have enough money to buy food they were only able to afford one meal a day! Can you imagine that? Well the little girl would go to school hungry to where it was affecting her in ways that she wasn't able to do her school work because she was so hungry. Until someone told her mother about a people who could help, there at that place she was able to eat every meal she needed too. As I was telling my son this story He said "we have food stamps to buy food" (mind you yes we are on food stamps) and I told him yes but the little girl didn't have what we have that is why we pray every time before we eat and we should be thankful we have food because others out there don't.

Love and Respect

By: Salina Limonez Hernandez

I have started reading this book called Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. He has based his book on Ephesians 5:33 "33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." I'm barely on chapter 3, ever since I started reading this book it has changed the way I think and feel about my husband. I use to wonder why he would act the way he does and why I react the way I do towards him when he makes me mad. I now realize that our husbands need respect because with out it they feel like nothing, and us wives need love but how are we suppose to get love from our husbands if we don't respect them?? The bible says in Ephesians 5:33 that the wife MUST respect her husband not only when she feels like it but all the time (MUST). There is more way more to the book that what I've just talked about, I just thought I'd share that with you what I am reading. You can pick up a copy of the book at your local library or on their website http://loveandrespect.com/ They also have a facebook page too: https://www.facebook.com/loveandrespectministries

Transforming Hearts

By: Salina Limonez Hernandez

Transforming Hearts

4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.”
When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! Genesis 45:4

As I was reading these two Chapters this mid-morning Genesis 44:1 through 45:28 I was just in awe how Joseph forgave his brothers
after what they did to him. If it was me I'm not sure I could do that, well even now I have trouble forgiving others
for things that have happened in the past BUT I do know that God wants us to forgive them and we must do it because it's a command given from God.
If Joseph can we can too and imagine they sold him! Then lied to their father saying he was killed. Even though all this happened God was using this
for his glory and purpose. If you have more time, read Genesis 44:1 through 45:28 and ask God to help you forgive the person/people who did you wrong.
I know I know it's more easily said than done but with God’s help we can do it!
