Sharing The Love Of God ~Por La Gracia De Dios
S 4
I am writing to share with your readers how our God moves
in His own way to show His love by teaching and saving those
He cares about. To show this, let me share with you my own
personal story:
I had a good job once, money in the bank, abundant food on
the table, a good car, fine clothes, fun places to go and many
friends to share good times with. I had excellent health, all the
comforts of life and many other luxuries.
I felt secure and proud of myself, felt no need for God and
had little or no sympathy for my less fortunate brethren, whom
I regarded as lazy, good-for-nothing moochers.
However, I lost my job in May, all my money and savings
dwindled to nothing and ‘though I tried to find a job and obtain
income, I have not been able to do so. I am forced to some days
go hungry, relying occasionally on the generosity of a neighbor.
My car broke down in July and I had no money to have it
repaired and must borrow bus money or rely on a neighbor to
take me where I need to go, or walk.
In August my clothes, furniture and valuables were stolen
when my home was broken into while I was in the hospital. I
don’t even have a bed to sleep on. My friends abandoned me
when I ran out of money; and I cannot afford to go out for
recreation. My health failed me this past summer.
Is this a story of misfortune? By no means! The Lord has
given and the Lord has taken away. He has caused me to
practice humility and has saved me from further sinning by
teaching me the wrongs of apathy and indifference toward my
fellow man. By making me personally experience hunger,
poverty and the frustration of being unable to find work, as well
as the extreme difficulty of obtaining welfare, the good Lord
has caused me to reflect on those who, through no fault of their
own, are forced to live in perpetual poverty, sickness and
hunger.
Even now I must think of those who are still worse off than I
am now. But His greatest gift is that God caused me to turn to
Him in my hour of need. In turn, He has filled me with renewed
faith and trust in Him.
In this holy season of Christmas, God has caused me to think
of His own Son who was born in a humble stable, never owned
more than the clothes on His back, suffered from injustice and
He, too, was abandoned by His friends when He needed them
most.
Does God still perform miracles? I must say yes. He has truly
blessed me.

Habiendo pasado un ano, y teniendo el privilegio de poder
decir., YO TENGO UN SALVADOR, me permito por este
medio, testimoniar o testificar, que doy GRACIAS al Senor
JESUS, por haberme escuchado en mi prerrogativas, en los
momentos mas dificiles en aquella oportunidad en que me vi
incapacitado por sentir que se queria apoderar de mi la muerte.
Pero como siempre he sido un consagrado deboto de mi
CRISTO de NAZARE y habiendome salvado en tantisimas
oportunidades en diferentes casos en Cuba y aqui, me veo y
siento la obligacion de dar GRACIAS, MIL GRACIAS, aquien
todo lo puede a mi unico Salvador y amigo invariable quien
siempre me ha respondido cuando lo he llamado o necesitado, y
es por eso que en graititud y reconocimiento a mi GRANDE
JESUS, lo expongo a clara luz del dia, y digo orgulloso, no
nesito verte para creer en ti, siempre me he encomendado a ti
para que me acompanes y me cuides, te he sentido a mi lado y
he comprovado que me haz ayudado, estoy seguro que a todas
partes tu conmigo va, que gozoso me siento de poseer un amigo
tan Grande generoso y noble paraconmigo, que seguro vivo
porque todo lo consulto con el, y puedo asegurar que siempre,
siempre veo realizados mis deseos, porque cuando pido, pido lo
posible.
Se que todabia existen personas que dudan de la esistencia del
SENOR, del PADRE y del SPIRITUD SANTO, estas personas
lamentablemente no saben alimentarse de esta FUENTE DE
POt)ER en la PILA DEL AGUA DE VIDA que las SANTAS
ESCRITURAS nos refiere con solo una oequena, invocacion en
reconocimiento a lo DIVINO, estaras salvo y protegido y tu
camino notaras mas claro por esta ayuda invisilble pero si
parpable en su realizacion, si tu permitues que en tu corazon
abite la fe la confianza y la paz del SENOR, habras logrado
alcanzar, un tesoro incalculable, entonces notaras que tu vida se

hace mas inspirada, mas facilitada por todos los medios a tu
alcance, que bueno es cuando vas a la iglesia recibir la sagrada
comunion, la cual nos prepara para recibir la semana protegido y
confortado para los deberes y lucha en la misma, unos entran en
la iglesia y salen igual que cuando entraron, pero los que
comulgaron salen llenos de Spiritu Santo y confiados en el
SENOR y para aquellos que comulgan y solo lo hacen por imitar
o por probar, sin tener la verdadera fe esos no reciben nada
porque el Senor los conoce y son ellos los que se enganan ya que
no pueden enganar a CRISTO.
Hoy hablo con propiedad y conviccion no por inspiracion
como ocurre en labios de personas que hablan en suposiciones,
yo soy un convencido de la esistencia del poder de Jesus en
convivencia peregne para todos los que lo amamos y de tal
manera creo en esto, que he podido comprobar, que todo tipo
de enfermedad desaparese si se tiene una identidad en hilo
directo con el SENOR esto se puede lograr a travez de muchas
pruebas en que el SENOR te haila colocado, y de recibir este
beneficio declaralo en puplico porque a Dios le agrada que lo
menciones, si esconde tu credo y no testificas como te
presentaras frente a el? Es lo mismo que si tu tienes un amigo, y
no tratas de ganar mas su confianza llegara el dia que ese amigo
te desconoce y Dios es igual el le gusta que testifiquemos., en
estos momentos poseo en mi archivo musical mas de 6 piesas
alabando al SENOR, la primera titulada GRACIAS SENOR, la
2da. titulada, CRECERAS MAS CON TUS DIOS, la 3ratitulada
PRODIGA NATURALEZA, la 4rt. BENDICCION, la
5taBUSCANDO AIMI SENOR la 6 ta titulada SOY MAS RICO
QUE EL MAS RICO, porque tengo un Salvador la 7ta
CONOZCO A MI SENOR, todas estas composiciones mias y las
otras de caracter popular solo la debo al constante confiar en mi
CRISTO que me ayuda en el desarrollo y construccion de las
mismas.
Que bueno es mi SENOR conmigo yo sigo alabandolo y esto
me complace y me hace sentirme feliz, tengo 6 nietos amo a mis
hijos y am ni buena esposa que sufrio la prueve de verme en un
hospital por tres semanas en que el medico no garantizaba por
mi vida y hoy por la GRACIA DE DIOS comparto de nuevo con
mis amigos y convecinos los cuales se admiran de mi fe, debo
decir tambien que el eminente y prestigioso medico cubano DR
MARIO MACHADO lucho junto al SENOR por salvar mi vida,
debo a el tambien la gratitud imperecedera de quien como el se
esforzo dia y noche para la gloria de DIOS en rescatarme de la
muerte.
Dia De La Virgen De Guadalupe
POR OLGA BAER
El 12 de Diciembre la
comunidad catolica festejo el
dia de la Virgen de
Guadalupe, patrona de las
Americas.
La misa fue concelebrada
principalmente por el
Arzobispo, Thomas A.
Donnellan y once sacerdotes.
Tuvo lugar en la Iglesia del
Sagrado Corazon, la cual
estuvo adomada con flores y
las banderas de los paises
Americanos. Asistimos un
numero muy grande de
feligreses, los que tuvimos el
gusto de participar en una de
las ocasiones mas solemnes y
tradicionales de America. El
coro que dirige Jose Montero
fue precioso, y las canciones a
la Santisima Virgen fueron
interpretadas por Chela
Cordova, acompanada con la
guitarra de Ferrando Lazo. Se
leyo la historia de las
apariciones de la Virgen, y al
final cuatro jovenes Uevaron
la imagen de la Santisima
Virgen en una procesion por
los pasillos de la iglesia.
Varios miembros del
cuerpo Consular estuvieron
presentes, quienes tambien se
quedaron a la cena y
celebracion que siguio a la
misa, y que tuvo lugar en los
bajos de la iglesia.
Esta celebracion tiene
mucho significado para todos
nosotros, puesto que la
Santisima Virgen se aparecio
en este continente, en el ano
1531, en el cerro del
Tepeyac, que esta cerca de la
Ciudad de Mexico.

La historia cuenta como
fue que la Virgen se le
aparecio al indio Juan Diego,
en una madrugada del mes de
diciembre, deslumbrandolo
con su sobrehumana
grandeza, y ordenandole que
fuera a ver al Obispo, (Don
Fray Juan de Zumarraga) a
contarle lo que habia visto y
oido, o sea el man da to de la
Madre de Dios, de que le
erigiera un templo en tal
lugar. Despues de cuatro
apariciones, el milagro de
sanar al tio de Juan Diego de
una enfermedad mortal, el
milagro de las rosas, (que es la
prueba y senal que le pidio el
Obispo para creer en las
apariciones a Juan Diego) y
por fin, el ver dibujada la
imagen de la Virgen Santa
Maria, en el “ayate,” o manta
de Juan Diego, la cual se haya
todavia en la Basilica, que se
nombra de Guadalupe, en
Mexico, asi vemos como se
sigue celebrando este dia de
tanta importancia despues de
465 anos.

Creating Community
By Dr. Ellen L. Burns
It is almost presumptuous
to think you’d take time to
read another column in such
a busy week. But in case you
recline and enjoy the
GEORGIA BULLETIN for a
while, I want to share a few
thoughts about a New Year
beginning.
As you may know, one of
the joys of the administration
of the Division of
Community Affairs is the
direction of Project Rehab.
With the assistance of funds
from the Older Americans
Act through the Atlanta
Regional Commission and
Housing and Community
Development we have been
able to renovate over fifty
homes for elderly citizens in
Atlanta. Next year we are
committed to rehabilitate
that many more. This is
where we need your help.
Every Saturday groups of
volunteers spend time
painting, roofing, and
rebuilding with our few paid
workers and supervisors.
Besides, other groups come to
our aid during the week. We
feel that you could make no
greater contribution to the
community than sharing your
time and talents in this
endeavor. If you decide to
take on this challenge of
volunteer service, please call
our office at 881-6571.
We mentioned this before
but want to reiterate it. This
is not a men-only type of
program. We certainly could
use the help of womens’
groups, not only in
reconstruction work, but in
sewing projects, educational
programs, redecorating, and
escort. Volunteer work, even
one day a month, can be
most rewarding.
We wish you a Merry
Christmas and Happy New
Year.
