Dios nos ofrece el ayuno como un buen regalo; podemos escoger algo para entregarle. Pero entonces, no nos enfoquemos en lo que estamos dejando, sino en lo que Dios nos ofrece. Conexión. Esperanza.

Juneteenth: May It Be a Global Celebration of Liberation Although the United States Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, the news didn’t reach Texas until June 19.
