Because the LORD your God carries you...


Even to your old age, I am He, 
and even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made and I will bear,
 even I will carry you and deliver you.
Isaiah 46:4

The LORD your God carried you,
 as a man carries his son, 
in all the way you went 
until you came to this place.
Deuteronomy 1:31


As I reflect on the Year that is ending today I can only be thankful for the LORD'S love and mercy as He literally carried me and my family and helped us all along!!!

In August he saved our 14 year old son from dying in an accident as his bike crashed into a bus. His skull was fractured from the top of his head up to his right ear 
yet God kept it all in place and after four days in therapy he was sent home!

In September my husband and I celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary with a trip to Ushuaia and to Santa Cruz to see and meet the Glaciars!

In December our youngest son graduated
 from his Primary School Years!

There was also a wedding in the family that I was able to attend. 

So my heart is full of thanks as I look back, celebrating each person as unique and special, thanking God for each moment we have shared as His love enfolds and holds us together.

Happy New Year beloved friends!

Merry Christmas!


We were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
1 Corinthians 12:13


Wherever you are dear and beloved one, no matter how far, God is able to reach down and live with you in your heart if you humbly turn to Him!

He has called us to the obedience that comes through faith. It is a new life that is born in us when we accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah sent by God, born from a Virgin, who lived a Holy life, then died to cleanse us from our sins. On the third day he rose again and is now sitting at the right hand of God.
Turn to God wherever you are and confess your heart to Him. He promises to come and make His dwelling place with you!

This is what we celebrate during this Christmas Season that Jesus was born in Bethlehem to each one of us and that we were born again in Him to live a sinless life!

Jesus is our righteousness and our Kinsman Redeemer!

Singing to our Prince of Peace


Today we had choir practice in the morning and tomorrow we are singing to our Prince of peace: Holy night, Oh night divine when Christ was born!

We will light the candle of peace as we continue searching God with all our hearts, mind and souls during this Advent Season.

When we come to God in prayer and commit to Him our lives, situations, troubles, limitations and needs, He gently comes and ministers peace to our hearts.

How I thank Him for His mighty presence in our lives that transcends all and brings rivers of peace like the waves of the sea!

With love from Lilian

Your peace will be like a river!

If you pay attention to God's commands
Your peace will be like a river,
Your righteousness like the waves of the sea!
Isaiah 48:18

















I can still see her eager little face
The first time she saw the ocean waves
She was only fifteen months of age
As she stood taking it all in
"Water coming! Water coming!" she exclaimed!

This was our first-born daughter
Gazing at the wonder of the waves
Forever coming to bless our days
And fill them with sharing and laughter,
Hugging, playing and praying together!

Argentina has been blessed
By many beautiful beaches and sunny days
Memories of happy times on the beach
Building sandcastles, playing ball,
Diving into the big waves and all!

God wants to give us this peace
Just like the waves of the sea
Always coming, always fresh,
Like the foam at your feet
It makes you wonder, it fills you to the brim!

Always be full of joy in the LORD!












Today we celebrated Thanksgiving at Church.
We sang praises to our God.
We offered our tithes and gifts.
We shared a potluck lunch with delicious turkey!
Communion with brothers and sisters is precious!

The Lord bless you richly this week
As we lift up our Thanks to God
For all the blessings He bestows!

With much love in Him,
Lilian

God is light!


Listen to this advice,
Follow it closely
For it will make you wise:
Trust in the LORD!

God is light
And in Him there is no darkness;
Make Him your delight:
Trust in His WORD!

God commanded light to shine
Deep into our hearts
To give us true knowledge:
Trust in His SWORD!

In the past, hasn´t He been right?
He wants to shine His glory
In the face of Jesus Christ:
Trust Him to save your SOUL!

A lovely surprise!


I was at the piano
Singing along to Him my song
The boys were calling
"Its bedtime prayers, Mum!"

They had lit four candles
And in between lay The Bible.
As they sat expectantly
I hugged them tight!

"Thank you for such a lovely surprise!"
It was truly a delight!

So we read about a King
Who loved his God
And when I came to bed
I found this note:

"Dios te ama" (God loves you)
"Dios te cuida" (God takes care of you)
"Dios hizo la naturaleza" (God created nature)
"Dios quiere que los niños vayan a él" (God wants children to come to Him)
"Jesús murió por nosotros" (Jesus died for us)
"Nos limpia de nuestros pecados" (He cleanses us from sin)
"Dios es amor"(God is love)


It was from our youngest
And my heart was won!
Thank you, Son,
For these words you wrote
From the heavenly throne
To bless my Mother's heart!

God is awesome!
God is good!
