CHOOSE YOUR WORDS

-
In Solomon's day, a king had to rely on messengers for information about his country. These messengers had to be trustworthy. Inaccurate information could lead to civic unrest & even needless bloodshed.

Reliable communication is still vital today. If the message received is different from the message sent, marriages, businesses & diplomatic relations can all break down.

It is important to choose your words well & to avoid reacting until you clearly understand what the other person means.

Proverbs 13:17
An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble, 
But a reliable messenger brings healing.

Had a great “70th” birthday. Damn, how did I get here? But I am thankful for my wonderful life and my family! My cup overflows  with gratitude and blessings from God, as I get to share in your adult lives and get to cheer you both from the sidelines.. What a blessing it is to get this far in life and still enjoy making memories with y’all. My cup is full as I now have new family members; Janette & Camy, Jo, John and Erika. Let us daily thank God for His love towards us and may we continue to fall in love more with one another. My “Blessings” from  above “The Lord gives both death and life; He brings some down to the grave but raises others up”              1 Samuel 2:6  “He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother”  Praise the Lord!  Psalm 113:9 “Naked I came  from my mother’s womb,  And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken” This is Josh at the same age as his munc...

“We All Go The Way of Grace”

     Proverbs 21:22 “Whoever pursues righteous and unfailing love will find life, righteousness and honor” Father, Elohim,  “Thank you” 4 putting your wonderful creation together for all to enjoy and be rich by it all. Today in LA it has been raining, which is one thing we do not get much of .. but I “thank you” for it. It’s a time of slowing down.  It’s a time to sit and be still in the comfort of a warm home with family. I “thank you” Lord for the newness that comes with rain. It washes our soul and our mind.  We can take time to be still and reflect on where I AM .. where am I going .. and how to get there. The rain brings us to a stop and a moment to care about family, to look at ourselves and a chance for change, if needed. The rain heals the soul and lights it up with hope and freshness.  It’s a bath from head to toe that relaxes my spirit with the feeling of cleansing within me. Take time to enjoy this amazing season!  job leon https://yout...
