GN everyone. I on-board my brother today to nostr. @npub1vyk0...3gak 🤙Welcome!

Gm #nostriches. Get a good Coffee (Panamá Coffee). Get a Bible, read some and know about Jesus. Love your family and love your neighbor and stand for what is good.

GN #Nostriches.... most important advice this night for all husbands. Remember to do your dishes 🙃, every night for all of our lifes. Now to sleep what an interesting day at #nostr ecosystem.

GM! The 11th Hour - Come Home Baby "B" (I wrote this one on April 18... now he is home and safe, hope it encourage others!) "As a parent, your heart moves at the heartbeat of your kids. If they hurt, you hurt. Today marks the day 20 since the birth of my son, little "B." He was in ICU most of the time until he was moved to intermediate care and is now finally in minimal care. Can't wait for him to come home." https://www.javierfeliu.com/blog/come-home-baby/

This is a test. I am just testing out sharing links on nostr made on #IPFS mobile app #durin. Will like to keep using ipfs to share larger media on nostr that normally would share on legacy social media anyway.

Father & Daughter afternoon saturday date day. Every saturday we both look forward to it. It has helped me to slow down the pace of the week and focus on the important things in front of me... also give my wife a break to rest.😅 #parenting

"Hit the Dance Floor Whether You Want to or Not" While at a friend's wedding, I saw a girl I wanted to meet. She was on the dance floor all night (although she would say otherwise)... aka the forbidden land. https://www.javierfeliu.com/blog/advice-for-non-adance/

The Biggest Pain In The World? - The Suffering Heart of a #Parent (Longer post) https://www.javierfeliu.com/blog/the-biggest-pain-in-the-world/ Can you imagine, as a dad or mom, if your child decides to live a life that leads to destruction? Or voluntarily, he put himself in harm's way and pain. I have often wondered what is the biggest pain humans can experience, with no real intention to put this wondering to the test. Last month I went through a whole different kind of pain, or torture, depending on how you may look at things. I do not think there is a bigger pain than seeing your son or daughter going through unbearable pain themselves. As a parent, you will do anything to take that pain yourself if it is within your possibilities We often read or watch the classic plot when an evil man tries to inflict violence on a kid in front of their parents, and the parent, without hesitation, offers himself as a replacement for receiving the attack. This is not just mere fiction, it is embedded in the core being of good fathers and mothers to do so. I do not think there is an age limit for "feeling" this excruciating pain. A friend of our #family has a grown-up married daughter going through hell on earth with her health. Last winter visiting them, I recall his breaking voice while he shared his daughter's current status and how he feels that trusting God is still his utmost hope. The shy tears hidden behind his eyes are not strange to me now as a dad. The child's age is irrelevant, and that kind of pain is universal. In a plot twist, the #Christian faith teaches us that we are all sons of #God. He laid down his life for us to not see us suffer anymore because of how we have decided to live. You are correct in thinking that we are all currently suffering from something, but He is not just concerned with our momentary pain, but rather, preoccupied with our everlasting state. Can you imagine, as a dad or mom, if your child decides to live a life that leads to destruction? Or voluntarily puts himself in harm's way and pain. My guess is that it is not that hard to imagine. My guess is that we do not need to go farther than a mirror to see such a son or daughter.

OK, last link is broken. Here the correct one with the Montesori bed full built! Enjoy! I want to upload the pdf plans here...but can't upload a pdf in #nostr yet. Will find a way to share it free here. #woodworking Full link with the step by step article on the comments.

Off course... applying the JEFH iron brand was always the best part. It stand for my brother and myself name initials. #Woodworking

Here the complete view of it. This was finished right on time zero. I spent all night making the inlays, sanding and applying the finishing. Was delivered on time... but man that one was lots of work. #jefhwoodshop #woodworking #panama

We built this one out of Cumaru wood. Panamá native tropical hardwood. Cooper inlays. Will share the other photos below. It's one of my favorites. #woodworking #panama #jefhwoodshop

Last couple of weeks, I decided to build a Montessori bed for my daughter with my father-in-law. Here is part of the process. It is a simple build that anyone can do at home with basic tools.

Sharing my latest newsletter post. Feeling stressed is a natural response when the world around you undergoes drastic changes, causing your foundation to shift and leaving you uncertain about your position. This sensation often arrives in waves, but occasionally, you find yourself trapped in an endless loop. Both the push and pull of extreme circumstances can trigger stress, which, if permitted, will come and go. Some uncertain situations are beyond your control, and when those around you attempt to grasp the reins, it amplifies these emotions. https://www.javierfeliu.com/blog/uncertainty-stress-change-and-risk/
