The dictionary defines “LOVE” as an intense feeling inherent to human beings. Through love, human beings can sense, through impressions or stimuli, what other people feel. They acquire greater sensitivity to the point of sensing an event that may occur in the life of another human being. They develop the perception to appreciate, through action and effect, everything that surrounds them.
Last night I dreamt of you, and I could see your face. My body trembled with the emotion of simply being able to see you again…
In the book of Acts of the Apostles, in chapter 17, there is an anecdote or story that Paul tells us about what he preached in Athens and an inscription that strongly calls his attention “TO THE UNKNOWN GOD”. Perhaps we have had the opportunity to read this story before, but perhaps we have not given it the attention it deserves or discovered the importance of that phrase. And probably without realizing it, we have omitted to discover the mystery that it contains, or we have taken advantage of the great invitation that is offered to us to know the “UNKNOWN GOD”.
This is a very common phrase; I have heard it said by many people. I myself have repeated it countless times in the form of mockery, excuse, disbelief, challenge, or simply to make someone angry. Especially when I joke with my friends or even when, in my student days, someone said to me, “I’m going to beat you in the face”. I answered, “It has to be seen to be believed”.
NOBODY DIES ON CHRISTMAS EVE
A phrase that resonated in my brain every December and that had a lot of meaning throughout my childhood each time a family member or friend got sick was, nobody dies on Christmas Eve. My mother would repeat it to me, while she caressed my hair when she saw me worried about someone’s health. Then my Spirit would rejoice, my faith strengthened and the hope that everything would be okay was reborn in my heart.
Feeling that the air is missing, the lack of your voice unleashes fear inside me. The anxiety of having lost you so suddenly has doubled, invading my chest with pain. I can’t breathe! My tears close my throat, my senses drowned, inflamed by your memory.
There are different ways to say goodbye according to the circumstances, the time we will be separated, the place where we are at the time of the farewell. If we say goodbye to a family member, a friend or an acquaintance, it can also be a formal or informal farewell, such as: Goodbye, See You Soon, Take Care, Until Tomorrow, Catch You Later, Bye-Bye. And all forms of farewell cause a degree of pain, but there is only one way to say goodbye to a loved one when they physically leave our side forever. In addition to being painful, it implies implicit faith, love and hope embodied in each of its letters when we say goodbye repeating:
Until we meet again with Heavenly Father! ...
This is the definition of hope I like: Hope is anticipating and longing for the promised blessings of righteousness. The scriptures often speak of hope as the anticipation of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
Today as I looked towards the sky … And I felt that the wind that played with my hair was as cold as ice.
With my gaze fixed on infinity I was looking for consolation. Many days have passed, since you left and although I know that seeing you return is impossible, I carry your memory inside me.
Suddenly, something caught my attention. It shined so strangely. Its radiance was like the sun’s rays.
