Puchi siempre tomo inspiration al leer el libro de Colosenses 3: 12-13 Oremos:

Por lo tanto, como el pueblo escogido de Dios, santo y amado, vístete con compasión, amabilidad, humildad, gentileza y paciencia. Soporten el uno al otro y perdónense si alguno de ustedes tiene una queja contra alguien. Perdona como el Señor te perdonó.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Remember we are Mamitas Garden. Her Legacy; and today her love is reflected back from all of us !

Journey well Mom.
