FRIEND

Proverbs 27:6
"Wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy."

Please take a moment to consider this proverb.
What is it saying?

Who would prefer a friend's wounds to an enemy's kisses?
The answer is: anyone who considers the source.

A friend who has your best interests at heart may have to give you unpleasant advice at times, but you know it is for your own good.

An enemy, by contrast, may whisper sweet words & happily send you on your way to ruin.

We tend to hear what we want to hear, even if its an enemy who will say it.

A friend's advice, no matter how painful, is better & more profitable!

Matthew 6:33 “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else,  and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need” 1. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else,  (this reminds us to daily keep our eyes and mind on heavenly things.  We live on earth and with all its distractions, chaos and confusion. But these things must not change our perspective, (which is God first)… 2. and live righteously,  (we are children of God, therefore we are to live like Jesus.  a. Show kindness … b. Show patience … c. Show good to others d. Show love! The world so desperately needs to see what love looks like… e. Above all else, let’s show forgiveness … We should be doing this daily with strangers, neighbors & coworkers …. As well as in our homes! 3. And then God … will give you everything you need” Let’s put on Jesus!

     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://youtu.be/Zua8MJxnAwE?si=Qq1O56hCjfVDlrjksi

My dear best friend went home yesterday. And today he is running about with his brothers; Lil Man, Rufus and his sister Peggy Sue. Such sweet sorrow & comfort knowing that he’s himself again, feeling healthy and free.  He is 13 doggie years on earth but Heaven does not have days or years. There is only eternity!     One can sense when there is something wrong with our best friend .. they are happy to see you and being around the family, but there is something about their eyes, that reflects what they are feeling  .                             Is sickness and death for all of creation? Let’s review all that God created for us.  Plants and trees can wither and die.  Animals, birds, fishes and all creeping things also live to die.  The stars, the waters and the land, the heavens, the seasons, the day & the night, the moon and the sun they are still in place, right?  And these too will pass.                                                                               Scripture tel
