WHAT I'VE LEARNED FROM LIFE
"I've learned that although it's hard to admit, I'm secretly glad by parents are strict with me." (Age 14)
"I've learned that silent company is often more healing than words of advice." (Age 24) "I've learned that the greater a person's sense of guilt, the greater the need to cast blame on others." (Age 16) "I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you miss them terribly after they die." (Age 53) "I've learned that making a living is not the same as making a life." (Age 58) "I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you." "I've learned that whenever I decide something with kindness, I usually make the right decision." (Age 66) "I've learned that when I have pains, I don't have to be one." (Age 82) "I've learned that I still have a lot to learn." (Age 92)

December 5Illustrating Scripture
We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.
Psalm 78:4Decorative blue and white ceramic tiles commonly found in Dutch households were originally made in the city of Delft. They often depict familiar scenes of the Netherlands: beautiful landscapes, ubiquitous windmills, and people working and playing.
In the nineteenth century, Charles Dickens wrote in his book A Christmas Carol how these tiles were used to illustrate the Scriptures. He described an old fireplace built by a Dutchman paved with these quaint Delft tiles: “There were Cains and Abels, Pharaohs’ daughters, Queens of Sheba, . . . [and] Apostles putting off to sea.” Many households used these tiles as a teaching tool as the family gathered around the warmth of a fire and shared the stories of the Bible. They learned about God’s character—His justice, compassion, and mercy.
The truths of the Bible continue to be relevant today. Psalm 78 encourages us to teach the “hidden lessons from our past—stories we’ve heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us” (vv. 2–3 nlt). It goes on to instruct us to “tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done” and “they in turn [can] tell their children” (vv. 4, 6).
With God’s help, we can find creative and effective ways to illustrate the truths of Scripture to each generation as we strive to give God the full honor and praise He deserves.
Reflect & PrayWhat ways have you found effective in illustrating the truths of the Bible to someone who’s new to Scripture? Who needs to know about the “praiseworthy deeds of the Lord”?
Loving God, show me ways to illustrate what I’ve learned from Scripture so others may know of Your wonders.
Learn more about the central meaning of the Bible.

Kathy, I am a very elementary thinker (although my IQ says differently). What I’ve learned in my tumultuous 68 years, and what is now my motto, is Life treats us the way we treat Life.
My motto is based upon Christian beliefs.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
And a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did you get some good rest? Keeping warm?
Snow is spitting, but just barely. But it is cold...zero on my front porch!

To: All
Dear God: I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman, Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is loving kindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Actually, I’ve been in voluntary self-quarantine for a few days because my sister, with whom I am very close, has come down with covid. She’s been sick as a dog and took a home test and came up positive.
I took a test and it was negative, but I have a bad sinus headache, so I am being very careful.
Penny is just as happy to leave the couch for her “business walks” but seems to be content to nap.
I would appreciate prayers for me and my family right now.
((((HUGS))))
