AFFECTIONS

Proverbs 4:23-27
"Above all else, guard your heart,
For it affects everything you do.
Avoid all perverse talk;
Stay far from corrupt speech.
Look straight ahead and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe.
Do not get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil".

 Wise and powerful words written by King Solomon. These are the very words we have shared with our children and others, and yet it is a wonderful reminder to us!

AFFECTIONS
Our heart, our feelings of love & desire will dictate to a great extent how we live because we almost always find time to do what we enjoy.

Solomon tells us to guard our heart above all else, making sure we concentrate on those desires that will keep us on the right path.

Make sure your affections lead you in the right direction. Put boundaries on your desires & set good standards for yourself that will please God.
Keep your eyes fixed on Christ, and do not get side-tracked on detours that will lead you to sin.

Let's continue to pass along wisdom and truth to the next generation!

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