Well, yesterday’s day of grace produced 8 batches of raspberry jam. It also gave Kathy and me a chance to go out to dinner last night which turned out to be a nice date. Thank You Jesus!

This morning’s bible reading was only one chapter in Proverbs. It is chapter 4. I read it and was going to keep reading but I just couldn’t get past the wealth of daily living wisdom it contained. If one could just put each of the steps into their choices each day, we would certainly have a different world to live in. Since this isn’t going to happen, it doesn’t mean it can’t happen for each one who takes it seriously and does put it into their practice as best as possible.

God is very faithful to put someone in our lives who will be an example for us even when our childhood may have been less than as this chapter describes. Yet, even though I didn’t have this type of earthly father, God did have others who filled a needed gap for me. How grateful I am for our God! He is there for each one of us if we will turn our heart and mind over to Him.
