To All Who Are Running The Race

PRESSING TOWARD THE GOAL
Philippians 3:13-14

Paul said that he as forgetting 
the past and reaching forward to the future. 

It is awfully difficult to move forward when you are looking backward. Many people are hindered in their progress because they are always looking at the past, either hung up by their failures, or bitter against those who have hurt them, or resting on the laurels of their past successes. 

I want to look forward to what God is going to do in the future, and I believe our best days are ahead of us.

As Paul talked about pressing "toward the goal for the prize," I think of how runners in distance races hold a certain amount of energy back for that final lap and their finishing kick. 

That is how I want to live my life. I am getting older and I have the finish line in sight. 

Now is the time for me to turn on my final kick and give it everything l've got.

I'm pressing forward, leaning into the tape! No time to look back!

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...
