Inspirational Sunday!

As we celebrate Thanksgiving Day! this past week, I took sometime while washing the dishes, lol! To think about me and my family. Sometimes I say to myself stuff like, "I wish not to cook today and grab some food", "I am tired of the kitchen already", "Why we can't go eat outside" and sometimes I even get mad about it, but the truth is that I LOVE to cook for my family, I LOVE that they ALWAYS are thankful that I do that for them. Sometimes we are running errands and it's late and we are hungry and when is time to decide what to do, most of the time they want mom's food! What a blessing, right? (I know I sometimes don't see it that way, lol) but it's a true blessing that they love what I do for them and that they are always thankful about it, even when I was thinking about it washing the mount of dishes, lol, but know what? I love to wash the dishes too, not as much as I love to cook, but I do like it!!

What I want to share today is that we need to look at everything through different angles, through different eyes, things you complain about might be a real blessing for others, I know people that would love to receive the praise I received when I cook for my family, so I want to be thankful for the blessing of cook to my family, it's the little things that can transform our lives IF we decided to look at them in different ways! Go and take a look of those small things that can be BIG blessings in your life and thanks God for them!

Al celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias! esta semana que pasó, me tome algún tiempo, mientras lavaba los trastes, jeje, para pensar en mí y mi familia. A veces me digo a mí mismo cosas como: "Ojalá no tuviese que cocinar hoy", "Estoy cansado de la cocina ya", "¿Por qué no podemos ir a comer afuera?" y, a veces hasta me da coraje por eso, pero la verdad es que me encanta cocinar para mi familia, me encanta que siempre están agradecidos de que lo hago por ellos. A veces estamos haciendo diligencias y ya es tarde y tenemos hambre y cuándo es el momento de decidir qué hacer, la mayoría de las veces quieren comida de mamá, jeje! ¡Qué bendición, ¿no? (Yo sé que a veces no lo veo de esa manera, jeje) pero es una verdadera bendición que les encanta lo que hago por ellos y que siempre estén agradecidos de ello, incluso cuando estaba pensando en eso mientras lavaba una montaña de trastes, jeje, pero saben qué? Me encanta lavar los platos, no tanto como cocinar, pero me gusta también!

Lo que quiero compartir hoy es, que tenemos que mirar todo a través de diferentes ángulos, a través de otros ojos, cosas que talvez nos quejamos pueden ser una verdadera bendición para otros y para nosotras mismas, sé que hay gente que le gustaría recibir los elogios que recibo cuando cocino para mi familia, así que quiero estar agradecida por la bendición de cocinar para mi familia, pues son las pequeñas cosas que pueden transformar nuestra vida si nos decidimos a verlos en una forma diferente! Ve a echar un vistazo a esas pequeñas cosas que pueden ser bendiciones en tu vida grandemente y da gracias al Señor por ellas!

Love,

{TAC} Chicks Day #4

This is the last day for November {TAC} chicks team posts!! but the team is getting ready for December already and we have everything lined up, so be sure to come back in December to check what the team is working with, I am sure you will love it!!

For today's card I used a color combo that I {love} Pink & Brown! The image is from a set called "Spanish" Seasonal cuties or "English" Seasonal cuties since it was available in English and Spanish as well. It was the second "Spanish" set from TAC since I was with the company, they had another one before but I wasn't by that time, so for me this was the second!! The sentiment in this card is again from "Mis frases favoritas" (My favorite phrases) by Latina Crafter

Inspirational Sunday!

***OMG I just noticed that the post didn't go live yet!!! I wrote it in advance but it seems like I didn't hit the publish button, I am sooo sorry!!!***

This week we celebrate "Thanksgiving Day" but for me everyday is a day to give Thanks to the Lord for all His blessings! I am so thankful to Him, because of everything He has done in my life. Sometimes I just seat in my bed to think how merciful He is, sometimes I just feel so shame for the things I have done and even with those He accepts me and forgives me! What a wonderful Lord we have.

I invite you to take a moment to be thankful, even when we need to be thankful every second, be sure to give Thanks now! Try to at least take a moment every day to be thankful, I am sure you will feel His love every time you do it! I can tell you that because that is something I started a few years ago, be thankful as much as I can and I have feel His love more now than ever, be thankful to the ONE that gives you everything you have.

Wishing you a wonderful week!

***Acabo de darme cuenta de que el mensaje no había salido todavía! Lo había puesto en automático y parece que después no le di a publicar, lo siento mucho***

Esta semana se celebra el "Día de Acción de Gracias", pero para mí cada día es un día para dar gracias al Señor por todas sus bendiciones! Estoy muy agradecida con El, por todo lo que ha hecho en mi vida. A veces me siento en mi cama a pensar en lo misericordioso que es, a veces siento tanta vergüenza por las cosas que he hecho e incluso con todo eso El me acepta y me perdona! ¡Qué maravilloso Señor tenemos!

Hoy te invito a tomar un momento para agradecer al Señor por todas sus bendiciones, aún cuando tenemos que estar agradecidos cada segundo, por lo menos saca este momento para dar gracias ahora! Trate de tomar por lo menos un momento cada día para dar gracias al Señor, estoy segura de que vas a sentir Su amor cada vez que lo haces! Les digo pues, hace algunos años comencé a hacerlo, dar gracias tanto como puedo y he sentido Su amor ahora más que nunca, da gracias al Señor, pues es El quien te da todo lo que tienes.

Deseándote una maravillosa semana!

Inspirational Sunday!

Another Sunday here!! This month is sure going fast, right? I am not sure if is because I am sick or what, but it's certainly going too fast!! Today I want to praise the Lord for the friends I have made through this blog, I am sure that I don't know personally most of you and of course you don't know me either, lol! But even tho we feel connected in some sort, right? That's something I am thankful for! I praise the Lord every time I receive an e-mail from any of you, it's so nice to receive a message from you and I write here because I think you feel the same way when you read my posts, that's one of the reasons I do it, sometimes I just know that you need to read something from someone and I seat here to write to you and I am thankful for that time and the words the Lord gives me for you! Take some time now to praise the Lord for those little things that sometimes we just don't see them, He enjoys to receive our praise too! I know He loves to be praise because He created us so we can glorify Him and enjoy Him in everything we do! I am thankful that He created me and I praise Him for everything He has made in my life! Are you? Let Him know, even when He knows everything, it's good to take the time to say it!

Otro domingo aquí! Este mes de seguro se ha ido super rápido, ¿verdad? No estoy segura si es porque estoy enferma o qué, pero está llendo super rápido!

Hoy quiero alabar al Señor por las amistades que he hecho a través de este blog, estoy segura de que no conozco personalmente a la mayoría de ustedes y por supuesto ustedes no me conocen personalmente a mi tampoco, jeje! Pero a pesar de eso,nos sentimos conectadas de algún modo, ¿no? Eso es algo por lo cual estoy muy agradecida! Y alabo al Señor cada vez que recibo un correo electrónico de parte de ustedes, es muy bonito recibir un mensaje de esas personas especiales que forman parte de nuestras vidas y yo escribo aquí porque creo que ustedes sienten lo mismo cuando leen mis posts y esa es una de las razones por las que escribo, pues quiero reciprocar la misma alegría que recibo de parte de ustedes! a veces simplemente siento que te necesitas leer de algo sobre alguien y me siento aquí a escribirles, y estoy agradecida por el tiempo y las palabras que el Señor me da para ustedes! Tómate un tiempo ahora para alabar al Señor por esas pequeñas cosas que a veces simplemente no vemos, pues a Elle gusta recibir nuestra alabanza también! Yo sé que le encanta nuestra alabanza, porque Él nos creó para que podamos glorificarle y gozarnos de El en todo lo que hacemos! Estoy agradecida de que El me creó y lo alabo por todo lo que ha hecho en mi vida! ¿Lo estás tú? Déjale saber pues incluso, cuando Él lo sabe todo, es bueno tomarse el tiempo para decirlo!

Inspirational Sunday!

As you know this past week I was sick, oh well I still sick, but today is a new week, lol! Instead of feeling completely down, I took that time to give thanks to God, because He is taking care of me. I have feel sooo blessed this week, my girls and my DH have been there for me, I know they miss the "real" me, but I trust God that I will be better soon. This week was supposed to be a great week, I re-stock inventory in Latina Crafter PLUS I received **NEW** designs!! and that was nice, I still enjoy to get the happy mail, even when I felt like crap! see there is nothing wrong to be sick (I don't like it, but that wouldn't stop me) and shouldn't stop you either. Be bold about your faith in the Lord and He will help you go through all the moments you have no energy by yourself, He will give you the energy you need to keep moving, trust Him with all your heart and be faithful, because He is always faithful. It might not be that you are sick, it might be something else, but anything that is stopping or bothering you, you should give it to Him and trust Him, He will get you out of there, in His time! It has been a week, oh no!! I don't even remember the last time I felt like this, but I know He is with me and in a short time I will be back to normal, trust in Him and you will see that whatever is bothering you, it will be a past thing for you too!

For a great week, full of health and love from above!!

*************************************************************************************

Como ya saben la semana pasada estuve bien enferma, pues sigo enferma, pero hoy es una nueva semana, jeje! En lugar de sentirme completamente "down", me tomé este tiempo para dar gracias a Dios, porque Él cuida de mí. Me he sentido tan bendecida esta semana, mis hijas y mi DH han estado ahí para mí, sé que extrañan la "verdadera" yo, pero confío en Dios que me recuperaré pronto. Esta semana se suponía que era una gran semana, me llegaba inventario de Latina Crafter y recibí **NUEVOS** diseños! y estuvo fabuloso, pues saben que me gusta recibir "happy mail", incluso cuando me siento mal de salud! ven? no hay nada malo en estar enferma (no me gusta, pero eso no me detendrá) y no debe detenerte a tí tampoco. Demuestra tu fe en el Señor y Él te ayudará a pasar por todos los momentos en los que no tienes energía por tí misma, Él te dará la energía que necesitas para seguir adelante, confía en Él con todo tu corazón y sé fiel, porque El es siempre fiel. Talvez no estés enferma, puede ser otra cosa, pero lo que te está deteniendo o molestando, entrégaselo a Él y confía en Él, Él te sacará de allí, en su tiempo! Ha sido una larga semana, ni siquiera recuerdo la última vez que me sentí así, pero sé que Él está conmigo y en poco tiempo voy a volver a la normalidad, confía en El y verás que todo lo que te está molestando, será cosa del ayer para tí también!

Por una gran semana, llena de salud y amor de parte del Señor!

Love,
