OFF TACK?=SLOW DOWN




















OFF TRACK?=SLOW DOWN


Are you OFF TRACK
On this journey
We call LIFE?


Are you KEEPING God and
FAMILY FIRST=in your life?


There are so many MIRAGES
In life=things/people
That look good=but
Really are NOT


If you are off track
SLOW yourself down=
Negotiate the curves and get back
ON TRACK


“The plans of the diligent
Are sure of profit


But all rash HASTE
Leads certainly to poverty” Proverbs 21:5


The days come
The days GO
It is easy
For many of us
To SPEED through our days


To MISS
The growing of our children
The growing of our families
To miss the BEAUTIFUL sunsets
To miss the beautiful
BLUE ocean water


To miss those
In need=EVEN OURSELVES


SLOW DOWN=get on track
Take in
The BEAUTY OF LIFE


“One thing
I ASK from the Lord
This only I seek


That I may dwell
In the house of the Lord
All the days
Of my life


To gaze on
The BEAUTY of the LORD


And to seek him
In his temple” Psalm 27:4


“Charm is deceptive
And BEAUTY is fleeting


But a woman
Who fears the Lord
Is to be PRAISED” Proverbs 31:30


“Rather it should
Be that of
Your inner self


The UNFADING BEAUTY of a
Gentle and quiet SPIRIT


Which is of GREAT WORTH
In God's sight” 1 Peter 3:4


OFF TRACK?
SLOW yourself down
Take in the BEAUTY
Of all life=
What it has to OFFER


Maybe just for TODAY
We can ease off
The trigger a little bit


We can SLOW DOWN
And TRY to fight through
All the twists and turns
Life throws at us


Maybe we can ASK GOD
To HELP us back up
And PLACE us back on track


“My dear brothers
And sisters
Take NOTE of this


Everyone should be
Quick to listen
SLOW to speak
And SLOW
To become angry” James 1:19


Dear Lord=we PRAY=
SLOW US DOWN=so that
We can see and LIVE
In the BEAUTY
Of your world


In Jesus' name and in the name of HIS ALL-LOVING FATHER
