Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez
by Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez Michel
Remembering when we were children
Counting numbers from one through five
We used to sing it, say it backwards, in silence and aloud
It is important to rescue what we used to know from our hearts:
1-Let’s Love our God first
2-Let’s Love our neighbors as ourselves
3-Let’s be kind and patient with one another
4-Let’s enjoy days and night of the Creator
5-Let’s celebrate our differences in welcoming transformation
Learning from our past and history
Will help us to move forward and not forget:
God is the creator of our lives
Engraved in our hearts forever.
Recordando cuando éramos infantes
Contando los números del uno al cinco
Solíamos cantarlos, decirlos de reverso, en silencio y a gritos
Rescatemos de nuestros corazones con importancia lo aprendido:
1-Amemos a Dios primero
2-Amemos al prójimo como se amen a sí
3-Mostremos bondad y paciencia mutuamente
4-Disfrutemos los días y las noches del Creador
5-Celebremos nuestras diferencias y abracemos la transformación
Aprendamos de nuestro pasado e historia
Nos ayudará a seguir adelante sin haber olvidado:
Dios, creador de nuestras vidas
Grabado en nuestros corazones por siempre.
