Hello everyone. We hope our Lord is blessing you in all you do for him. WE have had a tough month, but full of blessing too. All this month we were sick on and off. Maribel got sick first, and then the kids and finally me. We thank God for that too. We had the opportunity to reflect on how good we have it when we are healthy, but also how much we need of the Lord.
The other day we went to the mall to spend some time with the kids. This isn't just any mall, but one that sits right on the edge of the ocean. Hence the name BAYSIDE Mall. We all enjoy looking at the sea and the fish and birds that live around and inside it. Also looking at the tall bridges open up for the cruise lines to go by, and the people laughing and having a good time. There is a carousel where Giancarlo and Isabella rode, and seeing them go around smiling does something to your heart.
After a while it was time to go back home. As we were walking towards the car, Giancarlo asked me "Daddy do we have any tools in the car?". Right away I thought, maybe he saw the car and saw that we had a flat tire or something. So I asked him "Why do you ask?" He pointed his finger at two men that were pushing their van and said "It looks like they need help". Without thinking I told him to stay whith Maribel and ran towards the van to help push.
They ran out of gas. But when I was walking back to the car I thought of my sons heart. His heart is in serving. He could've easily ignored the men he saw, he could've seen them and just look away, but instead he wanted to help them.
Sometimes I think we miss those opportunities because our heart is not on the things above. We missed them because we are thinking about ourselves, or other things that are not as important. But Gian Carlo tought me a lesson. I have to keep an eye on the things that matter, because where my treasure is, that's where my heart will be.
We love you very much.
