#537 Nicole and Carlos are married

I have been somewhat emotional these days. Nicole is the first of our four kids getting married. Not hearing the door slam, or her harp playing in the house is harder than I had anticipated. 


She is self determined, and a woman that will do anything she puts her mind to - I know that. 

But she is still my girl, my daughter whom I have seen grow and become a woman of God. 

I did get to walk her down the aisle lead the ceremony between tears, smiles and sniffles. So many emotions invaded my heart that evening. I think all that emotional high and low is catching up with me. 

Carlos is a wonderful young man. I love Carlos.  He has walked the talk. He has a very good heart, loves the Lord, and is working hard in providing for Nicole.  After the first week away, they came to our home and did not wanted to leave. We talked, ate, played games, talked and ate some more. We did not wanted them to go away. I think we are all going thru relational withdraw

I shared in my homily about Agape LOVE. The love that is always there, committed - IN SPITE OF - I told some stories and weaved in a few insights into the love that God desires for husbands and wifes or any true relation for that matter. 


As of this writing Nicole and Carlitos have been married 15 days. I wish them the best life together. Nancy and I have promised our love and support to Carlos and Nicole, as the storms of life, might hit their ship. We have all been there and learned to navigate some rough waters. But we cannot do it alone. 

I end this brief reflection with a challenge to each of us who is in our relationship. 

There is no greater love, than to selflessly lay down your life for another person. John 15:13

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!

Fighting Discouragement in the Busyness of Life

Hubby and I have made an agreement not to talk about sensitive issues after 10:00 p.m. It’s a rule in our household because when we were first married our late night talks would turn into fights and we would say hurtful things, because we were tired and our reasoning senses were shot. We eliminated almost all arguments with that simple rule. Exhaustion takes the best out of a person. Another new book on the market,talks about the high burnout rate among pastors. In reading reviews of the book, the author says that lack of sleep is one of the main causes of burnout. I’m reading this book that also deals with the correlation of sleep deprivation and discouragement. It’s a book for overactive people who are seeking to strengthen a love relationship with the Lord. Being in the ministry, I feel the demands of people’s needs constantly. Daily, we hear claps at the door to pray, to chauffeur people around, to do weddings, funerals, to lead Bible studies, to counsel just about any pro
