April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, a time when the Parkinson’s community comes together to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s is a long-term disorder where the central nervous system degenerates and that affects the motor system. World Parkinson’s Day takes place on 11 April every year to raise awareness of Parkinson's. Parkinson’s Awareness Month is an opportunity to increase awareness about the ailment and its symptoms, as well as to support victims. LET'S FIGHT ON!

BITTERNESS OF STOLEN SWEETS!
Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel. Proverbs 20:17
TODAY'S INSIGHT
DAILY BLESSING
READ: PROVERBS 7:11-17
Proverbs confirms this principle: “Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel” (20:17). Things we acquire deceptively or wrongfully may seem to be sweet at first—seasoned with excitement and temporary enjoyment. But the flavor will eventually wear off and our deception will lead to our being left wanting and in trouble. The bitter consequences of guilt, fear, and sin can end up ruining our lives and reputations. “Even small children are known by their actions, [if] their conduct [is] really pure and upright” (v. 11). May our words and actions reveal a pure heart for God—not the bitterness of selfish desires.
When we’re tempted, let’s ask God to strengthen us and help us remain faithful to Him. He can help us look behind the short-term “sweetness” of giving in to temptation and guide us to carefully consider the long-term consequences of our choices.
