Happy Thursday, All.

Today is another hectic day.
Went to a meeting at school last night. It was a brainstorming session to improve school's grade point average as well as improving graduation rates.
I couldn't give much input; I'm still working on just one child's grades. :)

This morning, Marissa called and asked me to bring her friend a pair of pants.
Her friend had been dress-coded because her new jeans had holes in them.
Okay, being the nice person that I am, I drove 12 miles to the high school
to take someone else's kid something to wear.
Do I have EASY tatooed on my forehead?

Now back to doing laundry before time to leave for Fresno to the bank and the PO.

Thank you all for coming by.
I will be back whenever. ??!! ♡ ♡

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Wisdom Seekers

May 22, 2015

Blessed are those who find wisdom. —Proverbs 3:13 niv

Every spring colleges and universities hold commencement ceremonies to celebrate the success of students who have completed their studies and earned their degrees. After the students cross the stage, these graduates will enter a world that will challenge them. Just having academic knowledge won’t be good enough. The key to success in life will be in wisely applying everything they have learned.

Throughout Scripture, wisdom is celebrated as a treasure that is worth seeking. It is better than riches (Prov. 3:13-18). Its source is God, who alone is perfectly wise (Rom. 16:27). And it is found in the actions and attitude of Jesus, in whom “all the treasures of wisdom” are found (Col. 2:3). Wisdom comes from reading and applying the Scripture. We have an example of this in the way Jesus applied His knowledge when He was tempted (Luke 4:1-13). In other words, the truly wise person tries to see life from God’s point of view and chooses to live according to His wisdom.

What’s the payoff for this kind of life? Proverbs tells us that wisdom is like sweetness of honey on the tongue (Prov. 24:13-14). “Blessed are those who find wisdom” (3:13 niv). So seek wisdom, for it is more profitable than silver or gold!

Lord, strengthen my resolve to live by the wisdom that comes only from You. Give me the discernment to live all of life from Your point of view that I might know the blessings of a life lived wisely.

Blessing comes from seeking wisdom and living by it.

Veterans Day

Our country called, they answered,
They risked their lives, their all.
They fought on land, sea, and air,
They saw their buddies fall.
Yet on they fought and they prevailed,
We owe our gratitude.
So give thumbs up, to them, the Vets,
God grant them solitude.
We can’t repay all that they gave,
So show them that you care.
They fought for us, to all be free,
Be thankful they were there.
