Gregory and Gloria

The JOY of the LORD is our strength.


 Greg and I turned 39 years old. We were born on August 29, 1971.
  We are the second set of twins of three sets.

  THE BENEFIT OF BEING A GOOD BROTHER AND SISTER

 YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD (POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE) TESTIMONY TO OTHERS.
YOU WILL BE LAYING A GODLY FOUNDATION FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
YOU WILL BE BUILDING VITAL CHARACTER TRAITS OF GODLINESS IN YOUR LIFE.
YOU AND YOUR SIBLINGS WILL AVOID THE TRAP OF NEEDING APPROVAL FROM             FRIENDS, BECAUSE YOU WILL FIND SECURITY IN EACH OTHER.




Some of  the things our parents taught us, growing up of all the danger and polluting

influence were.....Corrupt Music (1Jn.2:15) Bad Books (Acts 19:19) Tempting Magazines (IJn.2:16)
Worldly TV shows (Ps 119:37)(II Cor.6:17) Unclean Videos (II Cor.7:1) Occult Symbols (I Cor10:22)
Impure Pictures (Ps. 101:3) Wrong Words (Matt.15:18) Evil Friends (Prov.13:20) Toys or Objects with
occuilt features, demonic names, double meanings, or representing ungodly things. (Ex.20 4)(Dt.7:26)

An important thing that our parents taught us, growing up of all the danger and polluting

Light In Your Eyes



In the same way that a lighthouse guides ships safely to
 the harbor, the Light of Christ in our eyes hope and
 direction to those who are in darkness.

Credit to Institute in Basic Life Principle


The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:
 and a good report maketh the bone fat. 
                                          Proverbs 15:30                              


For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
 hath shined in our hearts                        
 to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
                                           II Corinthians 4:6




Let your so shine before men, that they may
SEE your good works, and glorify your
Father which is in heaven.                                                                      
                                              Matthew 5:16




The word of  God says," If thine eyes be evil,
 thy whole body shall be full of darkness....."
                                               Matthew 6:23
This verse will help us remember what can DIM
 our eyes. Any bitterness, greed, or guilt 
will darken our eyes and give Satan jurisdiction
 in our soul. Compromising with the world will 
do same to our eyes.




I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes. Psalms 101:3


My family and I would like to invite you and the whole famila to the

August 23,2010 What a Day!!! (III)




The evening was coming to an end, we had our first visitors.  From left to right, around the table, we have cousin Illea ,cousin Jackie, auntie Pilla, Jochebed and the birthday girl, Abigail.
                                               

Abigail, Cousin Jackie and Cousin Andrea
                
Jackie and Abigail 
                              Jackie is the first born in her family and the second oldest of the girls in the Lugo's Tribe. She is her fathers right hand and enjoys pleasing her parents. Jackie has such a BIG heart. Thanks for coming and bringing Nathen along.

 What can I say about these three" amigos". They have the best of stories to say, growing up together. All mamma can say is that, they taught Abigail to be a pioneer girl.  Cousin Nathen, Abigail and Cousin G.J. Our prayer is that they put God first in everything they do. We closed the evening with some songs that Abigail really enjoys and we had cousins joining in. L to R Christopher, Nathen G.J., Abigail, Jackie, Jochebed and Javier.
                     BE THOU MY VISION


Be Thou my Vision, O LORD of my heart;                          Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art-                       Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,                           Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.                         High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.


Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true word;                   High King of heaven, my victory won,
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;                    May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun!
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;                                 Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.                          Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Just a Closer Walk with Thee  

 1.I am weak, but Thou art strong; Jesus keep me from all wrong;
I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. REF.

2.Thro' this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. REF.

3.When my feeble life is o'er, Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently safely o'er To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.REF.

REF. Just a closer walk with Thee,                                               
        Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, 
         Daily walking close to Thee,
        Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.                                                                                


We had such a good time singing that night.  Like Ephesians 5:19 says Speaking to YOURSELVES in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your HEART to the LORD; 
And Colossians 3:16 Says, Let the word of  Christ dwell IN YOU richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing ONE ANOTHER  in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your HEART to the LORD.

August 23, 2010 What a Day!!! (II)

                      This special day was not over.  We were half way through the day. Javier felt like making hamburgers. So, I asked Abigail to cut up some lettuce and  tomatoes, while I washed the dishes.  Abigail, to my surprise, jumped! And said, "I need to get the camera!"  When she came back, she took a picture of her dad and her brother. And said, "It looks like they are having a father and son TALK."               

As weeks go by,  that,  I finally get myself to posting this SPECIAL DAY.  I decide to call Javier and asked him if he remembers.... on Abigail's Birthday.  During lunch time....While making hamburgers...Does...he remember a talk with Christopher. And he said, "YES, It was a father and son TALK." Abigail was right, they did have a  TALK." So, I call for Christopher if he remembers anything that day. And he said they had a talk on Hebrews13:5 on contentment. My heart was warm, filled with lots of JOY. Christopher had remembered the reference which I call it the "address." And he also remember alot more that day. I was also grateful for Abigail for taking that picture. A moment of truth. What a well invested afternoon this has been.  

HEBREW 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness: and be content
with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.


August 23, 2010 What a Day!!! (I)

        On August 23, 2010 was a very special day for all of us. The Lord has given us fourteen years around the SUN with Priscilla Abigail Guerra. What a joy this whole day has been. Starting, from the rising of the sun 
to the going down.  Abby was excited to have had Grama Susan with us that morning @ Taqueria Ranchito.
What was really exciting that Javier was off on a weekday.  It has been fourteen years that he has been getting the days off on our birthdays.(:  What a treat that has been.  And it does'nt get old.
         Here, we have a picture of Jochebed, looking like.....WHAT HAVE I DONE! Jochebed had whispered a surprise to my ear. She said, she had a surprise for Abby.  And that surprise was, she was going to ORDER her OWN breakfast! For a moment there, I thought she was not going to come through. But she did!  Was Abby surprised. Well...it's not guaranteed she will do it again.  But we're hoping that she develops that courage again.

Be Thou My Vision In Spanish Oh Dios, Se Mi Vision

Be thou my Vision
Oh Dios, Sé Mi Visión
Verso 1
Oh, Dios de mi alma Sé tú mi visión
Nada te aparte de mi corazón
Noche y día pienso yo en ti
Y tu presencia es luz para mí

Verso 2
Sabiduría sé tú de mi ser
Quiero a tu lado mi senda correr
Como tu hijo tenme Señor
Siempre morando en un mismoamor

Verso 3
Sé mi escudo mi espada en la lid
Mi única gloria, mi dicha sin fin
Del alma amparo mi torreón
A las alturas condúceme oh Dios

Verso 4
Riquezas vanas no anhelo Señor
Ni el hueco halago de la adulación
Tú eres mi herencia tú mi porción

Rey de los cielos, tesoro mejor
