The Next Two

The third words that Jesus said when he was on the cross were "Woman, this is your son". Then he said to the disciple: "This is your mother." John 19:26-27. I would not said that I know the pain that Mary was going through that day watching her son dying, but I guess have to be horrible have to go through that experience. I think, and I might be wrong, but we really do not understand what a mother goes though until you are a mother. (sorry guys!). Also, I can said that you do not need to give birth a child to be a mother.  In this word there are woman that never have give birth a child, and are more mother, than women that actually had given birth. In my country we have a phrase that said, “madre es la que cria no la que pare” this mean that a real mother is the one that raise the child not the one that give birth the child. Make sure that you enjoy every time you have available with your mother, because you never know when you will not enjoy that moment anymore. Care about her, listen to her, and share time with her. I believe God send mothers to be angels in this world to protect us and care about us. Also, I believe that the make sometimes our life miserable!!! But I am sure they do it to protect us and sometimes to teach us things.

The fourth words from Jesus were “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Matthew 27:46 I can tell many times that I have said this myself. When I am desperate to get an answer, when my day is not going as I want, when I fight with my kids or family, when at work I make mistakes, when I lost someone, when some one hurt me, and when I stay away from God.  Must of the time this, last one is what cause all the above happened, but for me is easy think that God forsaken me instead I forsake Him. Jesus for one moment thought that His Father has abandon Him, but that was not true, after all the suffering, Jesus get to resurrect and rise to heaven with His Father. We got another expression in my country “despues de la tormenta llega la calma” after the storms pass the calm will arrive. After the bad tasting of a fight, comes the reconciliation, after a bad day, comes the night for rest, and after I have been far from God, I will come back to Him. It is not easy live today with so much bad influences available to us, is that the reason why we need to stay closer to God, He is the only that will provide truly and 100% peace for ever.
