No more fear

When the plane took off from Orly airport, I did not thought I would pass a new test.

In a few minutes the pilot warned of turbulence and asked passengers to remain seated.

This is common but suddenly there was a sudden drop in altitude and my daughter who was in the front seat recalled an accident at the same place and the same company.

There were several bumps and screams.

I thought that our first family trip without the presence of our beloved Iel, would also be the last one.

I held tight to the chair and I said goodbye the world.

I felt sorry for my children of the earth because I wanted them to live.

But I was also happy to reach out to my son from heaven.

When the plane finally straightened and returned to its normal trajectory

 I was at the same time with eyes full of tears and smiling!

Vi você em todo lugar

Foram férias incríveis!

Pensei que me sentiria você longe mas não!

Senti mais perto do que nunca!

Vi você no Baixa Chiado, dentro do bondinho

Passou por mim voando  no zoológico

Tenho certeza que você esteve comigo em Fátima,

No caminho dos pastorinhos.

Depois tive certeza, era você na King`s Cross

Fiquei feliz demais... como queira ir com você lá e você veio!

Naquele dia de chuva a caminho do Hyde Park tenho certeza,

Foi você quem me presenteou com aquele guarda-chuva, quem mais?

E aquele motorista do taxi em Paris? Era você, só pode!

Vi você em muitos lugares,

Em diferentes situações e de diferentes formas

Quando nossos olhos se cruzavam

Você parecia me dizer:

Ei mãe, sou eu, seu filho

I saw you everywhere

Were amazing vacation!
I thought I'd feel far from you but no!
I felt closer than ever!
I saw you in the Baixa Chiado, within the cable car
You passed by me flying at the zoo
I'm sure you were with me in Fatima,
In the way of shepherds.
Then I knew it was you in King's Cross
I was too happy ... I wanted so much  you could be with us there and you came!
On that rainy day on the way to Hyde Park I'm sure,
It was you who gave me one umbrella, who else?
And that taxi driver in Paris? It was you, for sure!
I saw you in many places,
In different situations and different forms
When our eyes crossed
You seemed to say to me:
Hey mom, its me, your son

I overcame the world

To win is not getting the likely the expected. Victory never comes easily because it is only conquered  facing tribulation and during or after many trials. Jesus is victorious so. He did not go out before the cross but flashed! So we must be like Him and persevere. We are maimed athletes! We will continue asking for strength to complete the race in faith and sowing hope and joy. This will allow us to win.

"... You now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you ... I left the Father and came into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father ... I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace; . in the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I had overcome the world " John 16: 20-33
