Matthew 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.
I have competed searching my family line. We began is France...we are still there in the lower left part. Makes sense to me because my Daddy was passionate about fishing. We migrated to Italy...and established Sauceda/Salcedo, Italy (our family name is based upon a Latin word: SALIX - Willow Tree) We again ventured to Spain and established Sauceda, Spain.
We then became conquistadors some time in the 1500s and traveled to find our fortune in the new land...America. We ended up in west Texas. When Texas was acquired by the USA, we lost our land and it became Big Bend National Park. My family still resides on our main ranch which is the property of other people now...it is not government owned like the rest of it.
My Grandpa Ventura Sauceda used to take my Daddy to visit with our family. My Daddy taught me the verbal history that they shared with him. I have now proved all of it to be correct and intact.
I have blessed Sauceda, Italy. I now do this for our homes in France and Spain...in the name of The Father and of The Son of of The Holy Spirit.
Amen.
