Day 255 ~ Our Children

We have 3 great children. Jenny (husband Dave) and daughter Anna. Julie (husband Mark) and son Luke. Joe and wife Andrea. Just thought I would put a little collage of the kids together and reminisce.

Jeff spent some time today sleeping as he didn't feel the greatest again. I ended up napping too as I was major tired this afternoon and I'm not sure why. It was a beautiful day to be outside but I just couldn't bring myself to do anything. Maybe tomorrow!

The geese are honking up a storm across the street in the pond tonight. They seem to be gathering from all around. It's a sure sign of fall. It sounds so cool.

Love, Janet

God, Give Me Wisdom

If anyone lacks in wisdom, let him ask God, who is always ready to give. (James 1:5)

We face lots of challenges in our world today. Just turn on the television and there they are: war, an unpredictable economy, spiraling fuel prices, new pandemic diseases. What next?

Being smart isn't enough to handle all this; we need wisdom. We need direction from someone who sees our whole life at a glance, the big picture and the intricate details, someone who knows what's coming down the road.

But wisdom isn't just knowing what God has to say; wisdom is obeying him (James 1:22). With that as our focus, we avoid pitfalls that bring us to the end of our lives realizing we've lived the whole thing "the wrong way!" God's word shows us the "right way"--the way of unselfishness that will save us and those we love a lifetime of hurt.

Do you really want to study at the school of hard knocks? You don't have to make a million mistakes or live to be 100 to learn life's great lessons. Wisdom is available to everyone, free of charge. (taken from Beliefnet)
