Live for something greater then yourself

This is one more blog that I recorded in Barcelona. It was as well at the Olympic Park but this time at the European Square. This blog is about how living for something greater than just ourselves. May it inspire you!!

Hey our friend

We cant believe that last Sunday we already celebrated the 1st Advent which means we have only a few more weeks till Christmas. We are getting ready for that time of the year with Christmas celebrations, writing cards and baking for our wonderful neighbor friends and ending the season with a Christmas meal on the 24th. It is also a time of reflecting on what Christmas means to us personally and share it with others. Its such a wonderful time celebrating the days leading up to Jesus birthday! We are excited!! So what are your plans for this season? How are getting ready for the celebration of Jesus birthday? Make sure to invite others (neighbors) in for your celebration so they can be blessed through the good news of Christmas!!

Have a blessed week!!

God bless you

Cross the finish line as a team

I recorded this Blog on our way back from Europe in Barcelona at the Olympic Park. Its all about us being a team. Be inspired!!

Hey our friend

How was your week? We hope fantastic. Our week in San Francisco was wonderful and included a lot of cooking!! We hosted wonderful Thanksgiving celebration here with neighbors. It is so wonderful being a part of such a wonderful community. Its wonderful to see how a thanksgiving meal can give family to the ones that don’t have any or the ones that are too far away from them including us. We want to encourage you to invite neighbors to your holiday celebrations. Its such a huge blessing!!

So don’t forget that we are going with our brothers and sisters towards the same goal so lets work together!!

God bless you

Thankful for you

Hey our friend

We hope your November was wonderful so far!! We had a wonderful week in San Francisco with wonderful things going on. One of them is the encouragement group. We started the group years ago to bring encouragement. But the amazing thing is it didn’t just bring encouragement to the people that come but also to us. Its awesome how God uses things that he started through you to bless you as well!!

Please pray for this Thanksgiving week for people in the city to have a place to go to celebrate. We will have a meal at our house with neighbors please pray for that too. Also please keep praying for the fire situation in California. Many people lost their homes and many are dealing with the bad air that affects the health. Stand with us in Prayer!

Thank you for being a part of our life!!

God bless you

Les Miserables or second chances

This blog is about the story of Les Miserables and Second Chances. Be encouraged!

Hey our friend

We hope your week was great! In a few days we are leaving for Germany and we are excited to see family and friends over there!! But we also had a great week here in San Francisco. Jen had her book club and she encourages and feels encouraged by the women there. We also had our North Beach Christians small group, a place to inspire and be inspired by others to love our neighbor and neighborhood more. We meet once a month but each time we are encouraged. Do the same in your neighborhood. Exchange ideas with other Christians and encourage each other in loving your neighbor!

Have a blessed week and don’t forget to give someone a second chance!!

God bless you
