What the Bible says about light and seed
The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.
The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24,25.

Happy Birthday Mirian
Today is my wife Mirian's birthday.
I want to thank God for giving me such a blessing.
Three years ago, Mirian appeared out of nowhere just as in a dream. I am a realist, but I couldn't help it, I just wanted to prove to myself if it was true that when we grow older, some of us become like little children again. Wow, this has been even better than what I imagined it to be. Mirian has taught me so much. She opened my eyes to the beauty and the joy found in simple things of life.
Her childlike faith and love for her Heavenly Father has given me a renewed hope and a desire to seek God and trust in His promises like never before. Her courage and perseverance in the face of adversity have been an example for my life.
Her smile and contagious joy has been a source of great happiness in our home and her beautiful music has soothed and lifted up my sometimes weary soul at the end of a hard day. I am a very blessed man indeed for having such a wonderful wife and best friend.
Mirian, may the Lord bless you with the richest of blessings this coming year, may He be your shield and your great reward, that is the best thing I can wish to anyone, to be a friend of the Lord Jesus and be in His confidence.
Psalm 25; 14 says: the Lord confides in those who fear Him. He makes His covenant known to them.
Happy Birthday!
Jean-Louis.

ReplyDeleteSalut Anne-Marie,
ReplyDeletebien sur j'aurais pu ecrire un roma sur les qualites exceptionelles de Mirian, car je n'ai jamais possede le don de resumer mes pensees ou mes sentiments, on ne peut pas raconter une belle histoire quand les moindres details sont suddi important que le denouement, mais j'essaie d'apprendre avec Mirian qui est tout a fait le contraire, qui dit que les opposes ne s'attirent pas?
Est-ce que vous etes toujours en Tunisie ou etes-vous deja rentres? on attend de belles photos avec impatience. bisous a tous.J-L.

ReplyDeleteCheguei muito tarde para escrevear, excuse-moi! mas em tempo de reconhecer cada uma de suas belas palavras dirigidas a minha irmã..
Somos testemunhas de quanto você,
JLouis tem influenciado a vida
de Mírian em todos os aspectos
para melhor, fazendo o que para
nós parecia impossível, ajudá-la
a ser ainda melhor do que já é..
Essa união é frutífera para
ambas, pois foi feita por Deus,
que o Senhor os conserve
sempre unidos e cheios de amor
um pelo outro.
Amo vocês dois!!
Ester

Merci Ester,
ReplyDeleteJe te crois, car je ne la connais que depuis peu comparee a la famille, mais certainement le Seigneur l'a place dans ma vie pour que je change aussi, j'ai beaucoup a apprendre d'elle et je reconnais que le choix de Dieu est toujours le meilleur meme si on ne comprend pas toujours exactement ses chemins...mais au moins sa main nous guide surement et votre famille entiere est pour moi un exemple d'amour, de foi et de devotion vecus qui facilitent mon integration et l'acclimatation au Brazil.
Chacun de vous represente pour moi une aide precieuse et une des facettes de la grace abondante du Seigneur en action par l'amour que vous m'avez montre chacun selon vos dons et votre coeur.
J'apprecie chacun de vous pour toutes les benedictions dont vous m'avez comble depuis mon arrivee.
Ah j'oubliais l'espace et le temps....il faut que je m'arrete un peu et que je m'occupe de ma petite femme.
Un bisou pour toi, um abraco ao meu amigo David e dois para Mamy.
Jean-Louis.
Que fofos voces :)

Ola Jean-Louis! Ici la plante qui grimpe. J'ai choisi ce post pour commenter car je le trouve très joli et touchant. Cela me parle d'autant plus que je suis moi aussi amoureuse du Brésil et d'un Brésilien ;) C'est vrai que la vie est belle quand on est amoureux!
ReplyDeleteAu fait, il s'est passé une chose étrange: impossible de publier ton dernier commentaire sur mon blog. As-tu le courage de le retaper? Sinon, pas grave, en tout cas, merci de m'avoir donné l'adresse de ton blog! Je vais pouvoir te lire plus en détail. Bises.
