Where does wisdom come from?

What is the one thing you ask your Father in heaven most everyday?  The answer is different for every person that reads this blog, but if you stop and think about your answer to the question, it might reveal a little of where your heart is. The other question is, "Am I asking him anything?"  My prayer life is a place I find the most "pride" in my life.  I heard a member of my family once say, "The breath I take isn't even mine, every stinking thing I am or I have isn't mine."  It was one of those comments that stuck!  It helped me remember where wisdom comes from!

What things do we ask for and do we even ask the Lord for anything?  I have to say as I look back over my journaling over the years I don't like what I see.  A TON of my journaling isn't asking, it is telling (actually complaining)! .  Do I really want to be remembered complaining?  What do your prayers look or sound like? Am I seeking Him and His wisdom or seeking myself and my desires and wisdom?

I want to finish with a song I woke up with this morning.  It did a great job of answering the question of "Where does wisdom come from?"

Savior like a Shepherd Lead us!
Much we need they tender care!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are!
Early let us turn to thee!

Forgiveness

Good Morning! I was thinking about "love" this morning as I sat with my cup of coffee and my paper and waited on the Lord. Last weeks verse was about being able to love because Christ loved us first.  Do you find loving people we like is pretty easy and it is even kind of easy to love those we don't like.  We can be the first to love someone but the question I had for myself was... ...how come I can't be the first to forgive someone.   Forgiveness is a place I can get stuck! Loving seems easy compared to forgiveness.  I think they may go hand in hand. This weeks verse is from Colossians 3:13  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievenaces you may have aginst one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you It sounds so easy as you "read" it in your Bible!  It sounds so easy as you "think" about forgiveness.  Can it be easy if we stay in step with the spirit as we walk through our day?  Is forgiveness supposed to be hard for us so

The Royal Wedding and Psalm 145

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the question they asked was, "Why would you want to watch the royal wedding?"  A few callers called in with a few reasons with one of those being... ...It is kind of like a girls super bowl.  The second thought someone had phone in was that if we compared it to King David and Bible times we could understand the royalty of that time in scripture.  One of the callers suggested that we read Psalm 145 in comparison of this royal day.  I have to admit I really had no intention of watching the event at all.  My husband and I figured we would just stay in bed a little longer because the news and weather wouldn't be one anyways.  But our internal alarm clocks went off and we found ourselves watching the event and the cars and the guests coming and being announced as they approached the church. The cheering was so loud and as Kate approached I found myself a little excited and caught up in the "princess" part of the day.  T
