Proverbs 1: 5 “Let the wise listen and add to their learning.”

Good morning, wow what a day! I was traveling to work and reading something a friend gave me and I believe you will enjoy my thinking around what I read.

It is important to constantly listen and learn from other people’s mistakes. I read this guy took his little boy with him one evening when he went drinking with the guys. They came back from the visit and the little boy was walking far behind his dad. The dad turned around and looked at his little boy walking all over the place this way and that way. Going into every direction, he finally reached his dad.  “Son what happened to you? Why have you been walking around and up and down?” The little boy looked up to his dad and said: “I was walking in your footsteps.” The man felt so ashamed that he decided to set a proper example for his child.  To walk in a straight line and be a good example.

You still have time to set the right example for your children. I know I want to leave a good legacy behind for my children but I am not very creative or smart. I can only do the best I can with what I have and I am working really hard on my own attitude and my life. God is using me every day and I don’t want to disappoint Him or the people in my life.

I want to be the person as seen as wise that is listening and adding to my own learning.

Prayer

O Lord God pleases will You guide me and open my ears to listen to good advice and learn from my own mistakes and improve my life. I know that I am able to influence so many people in my own life, please help me act in a proper way. I clothe myself in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
