1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
-Psalm 23.1–2
How much beauty is captured in this immortal poetry of the shepherd, King David! How many generations have taken refuge in these words? This psalm reveals to us like no other the most intimate aspects of the pastoral heart of our heavenly Father.
¿Alguna vez has extrañado a alguien tanto que duele? Hace unas semanas Jazmín y las niñas viajaron a visitar a la familia en Costa Rica. Y no he dejado de extrañarlas desde el momento en que salí del aeropuerto el día que viajaron. En muchas ocasiones he tenido la oportunidad de viajar para asistir a conferencias, retiros y otras actividades por varios días lejos de casa. Y aunque extrañaba a mi familia en esos momentos, al estar involucrado en la actividad mi mente se distraía y la ausencia se sentía menos. Pero muchas veces mi esposa me contaba cuánto me extrañaban en casa. Pues el vacío se notaba más en la rutina diaria. Esta vez me toca a mí la experiencia por primera ocasión de quedarme en casa y no ser el que es extrañado sino ser quien extraña. Y valoro realmente lo que mi esposa y mis hijas han sentido cuando yo estoy lejos de casa. Realmente quiero que regresen y estar con ellas otra vez. Siento tristeza y anhelo con ansias su regreso. Pues en verdad las extraño.
Have you ever missed someone so much that it hurts? A few weeks ago Jazmin and the girls went to visit the family in Costa Rica. And I haven’t stopped missing them from the moment I left the airport the day they traveled. Many times I’ve had the opportunity to travel to attend conferences, retreats and other activities for several days away from home. And although I missed my family at that time, being involved in the activity my mind was distracted and the absence looked less. Many times my wife told me how much they missed me at home. For the absence was more noticeable in the daily routine. This time was my turn to experience for the first time to stay at home, and not to be the one who is missed but to be the one who misses. And I really appreciate what my wife and daughters have felt when I am away from home. I really want them to come back and be together again. I feel sadness and I look forward for them to return. Well, I really miss them.
El 13 de Junio nació mi segunda hija Ninna Grace Tercero. No puedo describir la alegría que sentí al ver su rostro por primera vez. Sentir sus manos y sus pies tan pequeños y frágiles fue una emoción increíble. Una gran porción de mi corazón acababa de ser impreso con su nombre y nada ni nadie podrán borrarlo. Y aunque esto ya lo había experimentado una vez cuando mi primera hija Emma nació, aun así temblaba de la emoción, tenía los mismos nervios y simplemente las lágrimas de alegría y agradecimiento con Dios corrían por mis mejillas.
On June 13th, my second daughter Ninna Grace Tercero was born. I can’t describe the joy I felt while seeing her face for the first time. Feeling her hands and feet so small and fragile was an incredible emotion. A large portion of my heart had just been imprinted with her name and nothing and no one can erase it. And although I had already experienced this once when my first daughter Emma was born, I still trembled with emotion, had the same nerves and just tears of joy and gratitude for God ran down my cheeks.
