Around our house, we’ve seen a glut of complaining recently, and not just in my children. I’ve noticed my own self complain more than once, and I’ve heard the same whiny tone in my own voice that I dislike in my children’s. So I determined this Wisdom Wednesday to work on something that we can [...]

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also [...]

Wisdom Wednesday has been helpful to show me that in the past few months, God’s been teaching me about three or four things, not a new thing every day. It seems every week it’s the same verses that have been sticking out. I don’t want to be boring, but I’m still being convicted and changed [...]

Sometimes wisdom isn’t doing something different, but thinking differently, as a result of Scripture.
Proverbs 3:21-26 says, My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24When [...]

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. Proverbs 12:22

Today we talked about lying again. When I asked about a damaged container, David’s response was I don’t know. I asked both children several times what happened, with the same response. Since Bethel at age three still doesn’t see [...]

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? Proverbs 20:6
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. Proverbs 25:19
I don’t want to [...]

Today’s Wisdom Wednesday isn’t about a single verse or passage, and it’s not very deep. I think God must be working on this specific area in my life, because the last few times I’ve been reading Proverbs, all the slothfulness verses keep leaping out at me.
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in [...]

As is often the case, when I determine to teach a topic to my children, the Lord turns my attention inward first. Hmmph. But in the case of thankfulness, I’ve got that one under control, right? I mean, I can list a whole bunch of things I’m thankful for, so I must be a thankful [...]

For awhile, I want to make a habit of devoting Wednesdays to talking about how the Scriptures have made a specific difference in my life or the lives of my children. I’m going to try not to be too abstract, and I’m going to try to limit my posts to Scripture I’ve already used this [...]

I’ve got my brother and his family here this week. All the children have been happily playing with the cousins, and I have enjoyed the fellowship of my sister-in-law. My brother has been tackling discussing wisdom with me. His knowledge of the Bible and hermeneutics has been helpful for me, and I’m certain God sent [...]
