Wonderful Christmas with Cindy and J.G. .
We enjoyed every little minute of our time
spent together. (which at times was a little hectic)
Very much needed gifts from the kids.
I feel bad them spending money on us, Dad and I
are very blessed, we need nothing. Please don't
misunderstand this. We're not wealthy, by no means,
but we are very happy with what we do have.
We have our family and all in good health, and that
to us is like have millions. You know Dad though, I
tell him every year about how bad I feel about the
kids spending their hard earned money on us, and
each year he comes up with the same thing, " Oh, you're
being silly. Let them. We bought for them for many,
many years!!" Of course he's kidding.
One of Cindy's gifts to us was a CD. I got Fats Domino,
and Dad received, Odis Redding. For those of you
out there that grew up during our era, you can imagine
the look on our faces!!!!!!! My gosh, do they bring back
memories. Things you thought you had forgotten, come
back the minute you start listening to this wonderful music.
Told Dad we better burn each of these CD's for back-up.
Cause we intend to play the hell out of these!!!!!!
LATER! AND HAVE A SAVE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
About Me
- Juan & Cecilia
- We were high school sweethearts and we still have that connection we had years ago. God has blessed us with two wonderful children who are now grown adults living their own lives; our eldest lives in Abilene and our youngest resides in Arlington. Our personalities...in a nutshell...I think can be described as easy-going . Juan loves to joke and I love to laugh...so...it just works. I really don't think we have to go into much detail about what we're like because inevitably that will show with each and every post. We love that you're here and you are welcome to stop by any time to read about our stories...some funny and some...not so much; but all definately, from the heart.
I was searching for just the right prayer
for Epiphany season, and I found what I
wanted.
I want to share this with anyone who wishes to
pray it for the coming of the New Year.
Father, we thank you for revealing yourself to us in Jesus Christ,
we who once were not your people but whom you chose to adopt
as your people. As ancient Israel confessed long ago, we realize
that it was not because of our own righteousness, or our own superior
wisdom or strength, or power, or numbers. It was simply because
you loved us, and chose to show us that love in Jesus.
As you have accepted us when we did not deserve your love,
will you help us to accept those whom we find it hard to love?
Forgive us, O Lord, for any attitude that we harbor that on any
level sees ourselves as better or more righteous than others.
Will you help us to remove the barriers of prejudice and to tear
down the walls of bigotry, religious or social? O Lord, help us realize
that the walls that we erect for others only form our own prisons !
Will you fill us so full of your love that there is no more room for
intolerance. As you have forgiven us much, will you enable us with
your strength to forgive others even more? Will you enable us through
your abiding Presence among us, communally and individually, to live
our lives in a manner worthy of the Name we bear?
May we, through your guidance and our faithful obedience, find
new avenues in ways that we have not imagined of holding the Light
of your love so that it may be a Light of revelation for all people.
We thank you for your love, praise you for your Gift
and ask for your continued Presence with us, and bring
these petitions in the name of your Son, who has truly
revealed your heart. AMEN

I wanted to post a small message to all
of Dad and My friends.
I don't know what it is about the holidays
that make people think about family, friends,
the homeless, etc. I figure God opens our hearts
to the Spirit of Christmas to express our love
for special friends and family.
Right now we're very excited cause both J.G. and
Cindy will share Christmas day with us. We love
having both of them home again and staying in their
bedrooms. They are adults now, but to parents
during the Christmas Season, it feels so special having
them both home at the same time. Listen to me, you
would think they were living in different countries.
To all friends and family, Juan and I want to wish everyone
a Very Blessed Christmas Day this Tuesday.
Hope everyone enjoys this huge Birthday!
Love and The Best to All.

Just wanted everyone out there in Blog Land that
our baby boy turned "29" yesterday, Nov.30th.
He's going to be so excited about me posting this
information to everyone.
Wish I had DSL so that I could post some of his baby
pictures. Believe it or not, but to look at him now, you
would not believe he had a head full of curly locks!!!
Dad and I keep asking him to please let his hair grow
out, but of course if you really know J.G., he's gonna
do the opposite of what is asked of him.
A special Thanks to God for letting us have him around
for another year, and hopefully many more years to come.
Love You, Mijo. Mom & Dad
