Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for this day, for the opportunity to be together, united.

Lord, we ask for your Holy Spirit to be here.

The words that come out of our mouths today, Lord, May it be your words.

We want to dedicate our life to you this morning again and to be ready for your soon coming Lord.

Thank you for everything you give us, for the sacrifice you did for us and because you want to be with us.

Well, reviewing a little bit, just a little bit.

Our first day, we actually built a foundation and we discovered that it was it is very important to understand true education yes or no very important and we also saw that if we don't understand it we could lose the kingdom of heaven.

Yesterday, we put on special lenses, right?

To look through, to be able to identify true education, Because true education has the goal to redeem and to take us and our children, our family, our community, mankind to where?

And anything else that does not have those ingredients has another type of goal and we don't wanna have anything to do with that.

Okay, and so we saw through that lens, a family-like setting was very important.

True education has a family life setting.

Uses the Bible, right, as the most important book.

Nature is very, very important because we can see what we're learning, you know, in an abstract way.

We can really see God's love through all the details of nature.

The physical aspect, we learned about that was very important to have.

If we're not healthy and we're not in our minds alert, we cannot understand anything.

So that's something that's very important.

We saw the work and the industry, our children and ourselves, we need to be useful.

If we're gonna be missionaries out in the world and take our children, they need to be able to do the simple things, the simple tasks.

God made us humans, mankind, in a social setting.

Character development was another very important.

That's the only thing that we're taking to heaven is our character.

Okay, we talked about the body of Christ and how we are all part of the body of Christ.

God is the head, but we're going to have students, we're going to have children that 1 is the mouth maybe, 1 is the ear, you know and so forth and we're not gonna treat 1 the same way we treat the other, okay?

So that was very important and we just saw also that Jesus grew in 4 areas and he grew intellectually, physically, spiritually, socially, and those 4 aspects should also be in our true education.

So today we are going to try to design and implement that in a program, okay?

And like we said before, we are all very different, but at the same time, we're the same.

So we're gonna be seeing these aspects in our true education but it might be implemented slightly different.

Lascano's house and I see they're doing something way different, but my boys and her boy are most same age.

Why are you doing something so different than I'm doing?

Well, it's because they're different needs.

So let's try to see if we can understand that this morning.

And it says there, that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth.

That our daughters may be as cornerstones polished after the similitude of a?

I love to deepen, analyze, think about it, meditate it.

Let's see, let's talk a little bit about it.

Our sons, may they be as plants grown up in their youth.

We're not saying plants that are on the floor, they're grown up.

When we have a garden outside, those that have had gardens, you know that when the plant is growing up, there are many things that attack the plant, right?

You have bugs, you have the weather, and sometimes there comes a big rain and the wind just blows it over and you have to be trying to hold it up somehow and to make it stand.

And you can't just give it water all the time because it'll drown and it needs to have the right amount of water and the right amount of what?

And you know that some plants, If they're too crowded with other plants, what happens?

But if they're too out in the desert by themselves, all dry, what happens?

We need to have the right amount of things for them to grow.

And do you see that some plants may be ready to give a fruit in a couple of years, maybe 2 years, 3, or maybe that summer you're already having a little tomato or something.

But there are some plants that are 18 years to be able to have a fruit.

You want to have a ripe avocado or a ripe mango because if you do open it green you're not gonna be able it's not gonna be okay and if you wait too long what happens to the mango?

It gets black and you don't want to eat it either.

And if our boys with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, because we're going to have different types of boys, boys that are leaders and boys that are, that are more quiet and they're more analytical and how do you guide each personality of each boy so they can grow and develop and be part of God's body?

And then someday they can grow up and be tall trees, firm in the body of Christ.

That our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace.

I love to imagine, to look at a palace in my mind.

When we're talking about a palace, we're talking about especially the corners of it.

They have little things that are like detailed in and they're shiny, it says polished.

So what had to happen to that area for it to be special and unique for a palace.

And might be saying that a palace is where who lives?

So the palace, what are we talking about?

Someone artistic had to come and maybe a chisel, maybe had to come and take place.
