Proverbs a Day

Proverbs 4:25-27 NLT - Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

This was part of our Proverbs reading this morning. I love the way this translation says it. It is like the BIG COACH from above is giving us a pep talk. Alright, enough horsin' around. Get movin', do your job, keep your eyes on the prize. What a great reminder! For a couple of months now we have been reading Proverbs every morning during breakfast. It works out great. This is why.....there are 31 chapters in Proverbs. Read 1 chapter a day for each day of the month. There is always something that the Holy Spirit allows us to pick up on and talk about for the rest of the day. God's Living Word. I just love it. By the way, this was not my idea of a Proverbs a day, over and over again. Guess who's idea? Yep, the Duggars. I really should have thought of it first. But I didn't and I really don't care who did, I just am so glad to be doing it. Maybe later I will share some other Bible things we are doing recommended by the Duggars :) A proverbs a day keeps your heart from going astray......

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them; "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If either foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son!

our last christmas, little did we know!! we miss you-you are always in our thoughts. We sold his house, it was as if we had to say goodbye again. Nothing but fond memories. Movie night, hide and go seek, fishing, the beach, pool table, weight room, ice cream, bagels, peach diet iced tea, laughing...simply you. Miss you more than you will ever know. It feels as if it was just yesterday, thank God you are "free". "With your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, go in peace and laugh on Glory's side. And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and LIVE....." .
