In Honor of Grandpa
A year has passed since Grandpa died. They say that time heals all wounds, but I disagree. Time doesn’t heal the loss of a loved one.We still remember grandpa whenever we use ketchup or have leftovers. He always wanted a fresh bottle of ketchup and hated leftovers. I haven’t played checkers in a while either…he would be very disappointed in that fact. But he is in a better...
Proverbs 14
There are so many great truths in today’s chapter of Proverbs. I won’t go into great detail but will highlight some of my favorites of the day..2He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.-isn’t it neat how our outward actions reflect the level of our fear of the Lord. - .15The naive believes everything, ...
Psalm 16:11 - You make known to me the path of...
Just read this…and its such an awesome verse.God makes known to me the path of life. As I spend time with Him, he leads and guides me in an abundant life. It’s not survival but Jesus gives me life. In His presence there is fullness of joy. Wow. That’s where I would like to be. Fullness of joy. So often I look to the world or others for my joy when I should be focusing on...
December 10 / Proverbs 10
Today is the tenth day in December, so I read Proverbs 10 today. Lately in Proverbs, wisdom has been calling out to people. In this chapter we see a contrast between the wise (people who sought after wisdom) and the foolish (those who neglect the call of wisdom). I’ll just share a few of my favorite Proverbs chapter 10 verses with you today. …7The memory of the righteous is blessed,...
proverbs 9
Today in Proverbs the call of Wisdom is the topic. 1Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars; 2She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table; 3She has sent out her maidens, she calls From the tops of the heights of the city: 4“Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks understanding she...
Proverbs 8
In this chapter wisdom still calls out begging for people to desire her. “Take my instruction and not silver, and knowledge rather than choicest gold. For wisdom is better than jewels; and all desirable things cannot compare with her.” (Prov 8: 10-11). “By me knigs reign, and rulers decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, all who judge rightly. I love those who love...
Continuing in Proverbs
So, the weekend came and I was busy… I stayed in Proverbs but I failed to blog…Here I am…trying to highlight blessings in Proverbs….Proverbs 4 is a father’s instruction to his son to get wisdom and to hold it as his prized possession throughout life. The father knows that wisdom is key for living a godly life. I really liked verse 23, “Watch over your heart...
Journey through Proverbs in December... Today-...
Proverbs 3 highlights the rewards of wisdom. ”How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding. For her profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold.She is more precious than jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her. (Prov 3: 13-15) This chapter also holds verses I memorized as a little kid:...

my December Challenge: A chapter of Proverbs a Day
Recently at church we have been learning about the fear of the Lord and learning to hear His voice. One Sunday Pastor mentioned that a failure to get into God’s word on a daily basis is foolish; a godly life requires building on the sure foundation of God’s Word. So, this month I’m going to read (and encourage you to do so too) a chapter a day of Proverbs. ..Proverbs 1:7The...

Finished Christmas Shopping
I never know what to get my dad for Christmas. He suggested a gift card so that he can do housework and other projects but I felt bad getting a gift card that would be used to buy wood and other materials for the ongoing basement project. Lately, my dad bought a few books at Ollies for a really good price. So I decided to bless his Christmas with more books. Today I went shopping on...
