Heavenly Father, teach me to number my days that I may gain a Heart
of Wisdom and fulfill your purpose for my life today.

Saturday, November 1, 2014

Good morning.  Up early, slept well.  It is cooler this morning but clear and dry.  I will not warm up a lot today - high in the upper 60's but will be sunny.  A great day for the Air Show.

Welcome to November and the holiday season - two months of greed and one day of thanks!

Living "My Next Thirty Years" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember to "Move in the common affairs of life with holiness, diligence, kindness, and integrity." (M&E - CHS)

Today is MMM and work around the house and yard.  Putting off mowing for another few day - cool dry weather has really slowed the growth of the grass - YooHoo!  I do not 'hate' mowing nearly so much when I do not have to to it nearly so much.  I will go to the gym this morning and then get to work.  W may have to run to Home Depot to get some pavers for the awning.  Will watch the air show too - from the yard.

Yesterday was a good day.  Got a lot done at work and had a nice  birthday luncheon for Gorki.  After work I brought home some Godiva chocolates one of volunteer ladies sent to Doris for her birthday and a piece of cake from the luncheon.  I was going to go to the gym, but Doris mentioned how much she would enjoy getting the new awning when it was up - so I worked on it instead.  And it is done - well almost.  I still have to square it up and determine it final position.

We had a good evening - went to Red Lobster and had scrimp.  Good food and great service - we gave her the biggest tip we have ever given anyone!  Then to the mall and got me my watch  to replace the one that I lost (was stolen).  She gave me 25% off when I told her it was my Father's day gift from my daughter.  I am so happy with it!  Oh, yes, and we went to Yankee Candle and got Doris four new candles.  And we went to Walmart (too avoid the trick-r-treaters) and got a few things.

Tomorrow is church and then Beth and Bob with Zach and Zoey are coming for a cookout and to watch the airshow from our back yard.

GUIDELINES & GUARDRAILS

Psalm 1:1,2 - Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the  seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.

Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Bible Pathways (reading thru the Bible once more in 1 - 4) - John 1 - 3

Turning Points (with David Jeremiah) - "Gratuity Not Included:  God"  ( Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.  James 1:17 )  As Christians we do not think of ourselves as lucky, but as blessed.

MMM - just some thoughts:  (1)  The future is make up of today and todays to come.  (2) It has never been better.  (3) This is a 'graceful' way of being right, and a great many ways to be wrong.

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike
