Dream or Reality
DREAM OR REALITY
Today’s Reading: Ephesians 5:22-33 Version NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+5%3A22-33&version=NIV

Anyone who have been married for a month, or for ten years, knows very well that the “happily ever after” phrase does not become a reality in front of the problems and conflicts that are lived in marriage. Although surrounded by dreams and passions, marriage must be addressed within everyday reality, problems in human relationships, lack of patience and incomprehension, financial difficulties, lack of information, resentment in the sexual area, and countless other misunderstandings.

Antonio and Margarita have completed fifty years of marriage, the golden wedding anniversary. Anyone who sees them with their white hair, walking from one place to another, imagines the small and large problems they had in their relationship during these long years. The struggles and experiences made them understand that the reality of life should not kill their dreams. However, we cannot live of dreams but of commitments.

We have heard: “I promise to love, honor, be faithful until death do us part!” If the commitment of love and loyalty remains in marriage, the reality of life will not destroy it.  By the way, this commitment of love and loyalty overcomes any barrier and transforms marriage into a sweet reality.

Happy New Year 2016-b
Today’s Reading: John 8:12 Version CEV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+8%3A12&version=CEV

Happy New Year! All celebrate with joy, happiness and parties. Congratulations, congratulations! A year has passed full of experiences, activities of all kinds. Someone once said, past events bring light to our present for the hope of the future.

We all have hope, dreams and expectations, especially at the beginning of a New Year. We are credible actors in the theater of life. Players, spectators, undoubtedly with personal and communal experiences that in some cases will be remembered for a lifetime. Diseases, loss of loved ones, job changes, and marital status, birth of new members in the family, successes and failures.

For the wise, all these facts, which are already in the past, have extraordinary value. God has given us the blessing of memory and hope, but sometimes we do not care to remember the events that have been drastic and painful. But for the wise life is like a laboratory where he learned what works and what does not. And this brings hope and light for the New Year so that the future will be one filled with joy and gladness.

Jesus said, “I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.”

Congratulations, congratulations. Happy New Year!
