Last year on this day of March it was a lot warmer. As you can see, the ice on the river is thawed. And the geese are happy. So, it seems that we are at least a few week behind. Oh sun, oh warmer weather, please come. Melt all the ice away.
He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will suffer harm (Prov. 13:20)
I am a tree
planted by a stream,
with fruit and
with leaves.
And I prosper.
(from Psalm 1)
Through insolence comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel (Prov. 13:10).
In all the good that we do, it is most pleasing to us that He goes with us.
And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest” (Ex. 33:14).
What do you see? I see an ice hand with three fingers.
Here’s another three fingered ice hand. Oh, that’s my truck in the background.
Here’s a very odd looking icicle with a growth on the side.
Wonderful icicles. They are all different. No one is the same. God smiles.
Here’s one of the latest puzzles I did. It’s an image of St. Mortiz Station, Switzerland. It’s a very old puzzle. I had to put some baking soda into the box and shake it around; and surprisingly, it got rid of the musty smell. It’s a good idea to always put the pieces in a plastic bag. This one has t wo pieces missing.
Does not wisdom call,
And understanding lift up her voice?
2 On top of the heights beside the way,
Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 Beside the gates, at the opening to the city,
At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
5 “O naive ones, understand prudence;
And, O fools, understand wisdom.
6 “Listen, for I will speak noble things;
And the opening of my lips will reveal right things (Prov. 8:1-6).
Wisdom can be found at every corner, at every turn in the road or at every decision point. It is calling out to us to be wise. We must listen for its voice.
