WORDS OF WISDOM FROM DAD...

We're not lost. I just won't know where we are.

As long as you live under my roof, you'll live by my rules!

I'll tell you why. Because I said so. That's why.

I'm not sleeping. I'm watching that channel.

Back when I was your age...

Psalm 127:3-5 (NLT)...

FROM TODAY'S READING (6/5/2015)...

"I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich."

Colonel Potter (MASH)

Psalms 127:3-5 (NLT) Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!...

Psalms 128:1-4 (NLT)  How joyful are those who fear the LORD — all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. That is the LORD’s blessing for those who fear him. 

Proverbs 1:7-9 (NLT)...

FROM TODAY'S READING (6/4/2015)...

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.

- Mark Twain

Proverbs 1:7-9 (NLT) Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck. 

Proverbs 17:6 (NLT)...

FROM TODAY'S READING (6/3/2015)...

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek.  She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally she spoke up, "Grandpa, did God make you?" 

"Yes, sweetheart," he answered, "God made me a long time ago."

"Oh," she paused, "grandpa, did God make me too?"

"Yes, indeed, honey," he said, "God made you just a little while ago."

Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he?"

Proverbs 17:6 (NLT) Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children.
