OFF TRACK?=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
