Thank you Jane, and I think I forgot to ping you to my #339 post! ((HUGS))

[MEG33]

Anticipation!
Good health and good growing to your tomatoes.

[MEG33]

Love it!

[Jane Long]

Hey....that looks just like my tomato plant. Four tomatoes and lots of yellow flowers.

My plum tree is FULL of plums. Mostly green, right now. It’s war...between me and the birds and squirrels.

[Jane Long]

I love Snoopy ;) Thanks, potlatch...it looks like they’re doing the happy dance.

[potlatch]

Lol, the ‘happy dancers’.

[potlatch]

Hi Jane, would you believe I just posted that to Meg and hadn’t seen your reply. Happy dance is what it is!

[MEG33]

That’s a hard battle to fight...Hope the birds and the squirrels leave you some.

[Jane Long]

Would you believe, four years ago, I canned 100 pints of plum jam from that one tree?? It’s not a very big tree, either.

The harvests haven’t been that good, since. This year is looking pretty good, though. If I can stay ahead of the birds and squirrels ;)

[MEG33]

What bounty from your plum tree..Good luck with this year’s crop!

[luvie]

THAT is the best idea yet! :)

[potlatch]

LOL!

[left that other site]

Amen!

MY FAMILY

What would I do without my
Family?
The real question is,
Where would I be?
You see,
Each member plays a big role
Without one,
There would be a big hole
My ancestors, grand parents
All before me
Make up a splendid
Family tree
From the first person on the Earth
To the day of my sister’s birth
The tree just keeps on growing,
Not even counting the mowing!
I love my family dearly so
We love watching each other grow
For anything, I will not let go

Many Advisors
May 16, 2014

Read: Proverbs 15:16-23

Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established. —Proverbs 15:22

Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 24-25; John 5:1-24

The fifteenth-century theologian Thomas à Kempis said, “Who is so wise as to have perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore, trust not too much to your own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinions of others. Though your own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God you forego it and follow that of another, you shall the more profit thereby.” Thomas recognized the importance of seeking the opinions of trusted advisors when making plans for life.

In order to determine God’s course for life, the wise person should open up to several avenues of counsel, through which God will bring His guiding wisdom. When a person seeks the wise counsel of others, he shows his realization that he might be overlooking some important factors in his decisions.

Solomon, the wisest man in Israel, wrote about how important it is to have counsel from others: “Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established” (Prov. 15:22).

The Lord is the Wonderful Counselor (Isa. 9:6), and He desires to protect us through wise advisors. Seek them out and thank God for them. Let them help you discover a clearer picture of His plan for your life.

If you seek wise counsel, you multiply your chances for sound decisions.

Insight

Proverbs 15:22 instructs us on the importance of seeking wise counsel. Many of the people in Scripture sought out counsel from wise and trusted advisors. Moses asked advice from his father-in-law Jethro about how to lead and judge Israel (Ex. 18:13-24). Ahithophel was so wise that it was said that his advice “was as if one had inquired at the oracle of God” (2 Sam. 16:23). But the greatest counsel we can seek is from God Himself. James tells us that if we lack wisdom, we can ask of God and He will give it to us because He “gives to all liberally and without reproach” (James 1:5).

Some times we are too close to our problems ... time and distance is wise and proper in almost every situation.

God Bless America and we ask hearts be opened and softened to accept the Word of God in faith and truth, Amen.
