Let it go. Dejalo ir

Let it go. Dejalo ir. That's how pastor Steve Wimmer began and ended his sermon. Too often we have too much, want to much and therefore struggle much with things. Not only things, but we have bags of emotions (unresolved pains, grudges, disappointments) we hold and carry into a new year.

Let it go, dejalo ir, where the words he used over and over to make a very important point that we need to hear these days. The amount of storage space we use in our home and in places we rent to keep stuff is impressive.

You have probably seen the self storage units that are popping out everywhere. Perhaps, yours and my garage has things we have not touched in years.

No wonder we are tired, emotionally depleted and financially pushing the limits of our wallets, when we keep getting stuff we don't need. Pastor Steve shared how they got into the habit of every year going thru their storage, with his wife and decide to get rid of at least one thing-a gradual purging you might say. You and I might start this new year by asking, do I really need to hold on to this or is it time to Let it go. Maybe the theme movie and song of queen Elsa can motivate us this season.

I love this exercise towards traveling lighter and letting go. I have seen too many people stressed and tired with loading stuff around. I want to become lighter and enjoy life with less baggage.

What about you? At the beginning of another year, what is perhaps one thing you need to let go.

Christmas in Paraguay!

If you're wondering what Paraguayans do at Christmastime, they have some great traditions , including the " noche buena " meal on Christmas Eve at midnight. They eat lots chipa guasu (a type of corn casserole, stay tuned for a recipe), asado or grilled meat (some eat it cold), salads, especially fruit salad, watermelon and drink mucho terere . Families travel from all over the country, many even return from working in other countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Spain, to celebrate with loved ones. This is us at last year's Kurrle celebration in Asuncion. Festivities are anything but a silent night with fireworks, loud music and drinking cidra (hard cider). Most Paraguayans do not decorate Christmas trees (we decorate ours in shorts!) or emphasize Santa Claus. Instead, they put beautiful nativities " pesebres " in their yards and in store fronts. Kind of novel to focus on Christ at Christmas, isn't it! To beat the heat, many Paraguayans g...

Paraguayan Weddings

On Valentine’s Day, we had the joy of attending the wedding of Sandra and Anastacio, young leaders in the church. Sandra is my assistant with Children of Promise and Anastacio, apart from his carpentry job, has a popular youth-focused radio program every night at 8:00 on our station. We’ve been to quite a few weddings, and these are some of the uniquenesses of southern Paraguayan wedding celebrations from our North American culture: 1. Nothing is fancy. Emphasis is placed on the act of marriage and not on the decorations or food. 2. It is not an expectation that parents help pay for expenses. Most families just make it each month with regular expenses and cannot afford to pay for eleborate feasts. Most couples have to spend months saving for their own wedding. 3. Borrow as much as possible. Many times wedding dresses are borrowed 5-10 times, because few women can afford their own. Flowers, decorations, shoes and ties (Norb loans out his ties often...since he never wears them!...

How to make Rosella (Roselle) Juice and Tea

This is rosella (not to be confused with grosella, which is gooseberry). Rosella is from the hibiscus family. It's harvest time here, and we use the rosella to make juice and tea. It's properties are absolutely tremendous. It helps sooth colds, coughs, helps digestion, promotes healthy kidney function, is a treatment for cancer, and reduces a fever and that's just a few of its benefits! To make rosella juice, first de-pit the fruit and wash the skin thoroughly. Put the fruit into boiling water until the water is bright red (about 15 minutes). The color is so vibrant, Roselle is sold to make dyes. Strain the fruit (which can be used to make a delicious jam) and refrigerate the juice. Add a few squirts of Stevia for a healthy drink. The finished product looks exactly like red Kool-aid, but is entirely full of nutrients. We can't get enough of it. We dehydrated the petals for hot tea. All you need is two dried flowers to infus...
