Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Blue had another fun day. Is Penny enjoying the warmer weather? Guarding her porch?

We are hot again today.

It was very hot today (90s).
I did a lot of riding yesterday, but had church this morning, which involves a bass guitar so I had to use the car.

Penny went out on the porch, but it was too hot, so she came back inside to be with me.

I kinda frittered away the afternoon.

A Wise Builder

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Chronicles 28–29
• John 17

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

Proverbs 14:1

Sojourner Truth, whose birth name was Isabella Baumfree, was born a slave in 1797 in Esopus, New York. Though nearly all her children were sold as slaves, she escaped to freedom in 1826 with one daughter and lived with a family who paid the money for her freedom. Instead of allowing an unjust system to keep her family apart, she took legal action to regain her small son Peter—an amazing feat for an African American woman in that day. Knowing she couldn’t raise her children without God’s help, she became a believer in Christ and later changed her name to Sojourner Truth to show that her life was built on the foundation of God’s truth.

King Solomon, the writer of Proverbs 14, declares, “The wise woman builds her house” (v. 1). In contrast, one without wisdom “tears hers down.” This building metaphor shows the wisdom God provides to those willing to listen. How does one build a house with wisdom? By saying “only what is helpful for building others up” (Ephesians 4:29; see also 1 Thessalonians 5:11). How does one tear down? Proverbs 14 gives the answer: “A fool’s mouth lashes out with pride” (v. 3).

Sojourner had a “secure fortress” (v. 26) in a turbulent time, thanks to the wisdom of God. You may never have to rescue your children from an injustice. But you can build your house on the same foundation Sojourner did—the wisdom of God.

Reflect & Pray

What foundation is your house established upon? How will you build your house this week?

Father, I need Your wisdom to build a lasting legacy for Your glory.

The Allies worked so hard to make sure we could establish a foot hold, they ignored the hedgerow country behind the beaches. It wasn’t until Operation Cobra and the 3rd Army advance through France, that we were able to get out of it.

God bless all of our World War 2 warriors.

NEVER FORGET
THE BRAVERY AND THE
LOSSES OF THAT DAY!

At the end of his speech in 1984, Reagan said:
“Here, in this place where the West held together, let us make a vow to our dead. Let us show them by our actions that we understand what they died for. Let our actions say to them the words for which Matthew Ridgway listened: ‘I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.’ Strengthened by their courage, heartened by their valor, and borne by their memory, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died.”

TAPS

GOD BLESS AMERICA
AND HER ALLIES!
