PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! 

Think refreshment and restoration for His glory and our good!

Righteousness is the only path we need as it aligns with His will while bringing hope to our lives and the lives of those we serve and pray for, especially on Wednesday!

A great Walkabout Wednesday of faith on a sunny day in the mountains allowing God to pause our pace and pray as we go!

WISDOM IN PRACTICE!

Wisdom in practice is action.

Think walking in wisdom.

A practical way to live out wisdom is to pass on the truth God has taught us, from His Word, to neighbors, nations and the next generation. (Allen Bible Church) 

Live it out. An RX for applying Scripture in our daily lives allows others to "see" Christ in us.

Fellowship with other believers is mutually strengthening.

Walk with the wise and become wise. 

(Proverbs 13:20 NIVa)

May we make this a true Walkabout Wednesday!

Let's practice wisdom together.

ALLITERATION....ANAGRAMS.....VOWEL AWARENESS!

Grammarians are often caught up in hand-wringing now-a-days as correct  spelling has gone out the window. Siri is in charge of spelling. Linguists are a rare breed and often looked down upon. (Oops did I just end that thought with a preposition. 

Though not a true linguist, I do have a fascination with words. As I age, I've struggled with some linguistic specifics. To aid this, I work on brevity of word phrases with linguistic clues:

  

ALLITERATIVE AWARENESS---

Continued confession leads to constant cleansing!

AMEN!

ANAGRAMS---same letters in different positions to make new words

The direction in life one takes, even in spelling/reading, can remind him or her....of similar truths or complete opposites. Positional purpose.

LIVE in Christ to avoid EVIL!

                     

The letters may be the same but the meanings are opposite when the order is different.

Keep Praying! Why?

Satan keeps preying!

Oh, the difference a vowel makes....esp. in one's spiritual life!

Pair these thoughts with Scripture and today "Think on these things" (Philippians 4:8) as you walkabout!*

*Hubby tries to get me outside each day. Daughter Molly joined us after my grammar discussion with her.......alliteratively confessing I needed to

Pitch the pouting and pick up the praises! 

They took me on a "Walk-a-bout Wednesday" which made Picking up Praise an easy switch!  

A flowing creek. Ice. Snow. Dried leaves and Moss. 
A true masterpiece of Creator God.

ROAD TO NOWHERE?....ROAD TO SOMEWHERE?

Have you ever wondered where a road would take you?

An unending highway of sorts. A road to nowhere.

Is there such? 

According to a road sign in Bryson City, North Carolina there is!*

What about biblically?

There is a road that the wise travel and a road that the unwise travel. There is a road that SEEMS right (Proverbs 14:12) and there is a road that IS right (Proverbs 12:28).

As we stand at crossroads seeking directions for life, often bystanders are luring us to turn toward popularity and self-pleasure. That is a road to nowhere. A life apart from God.

Reconsider. 

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This us the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)

Choose the way of the Lord -- the narrow path. Jesus is there and He is the way that leads to Heaven.

Is there a right path to choose? 

Yes! A road to somewhere! Eternal life with the Triune God.

*I saw it as I was having a "walkabout Wednesday" down Everett Street in North Carolina last week.(6/14/23)

SABBATH SNAPSHOTS: People who make a difference

4/22/12 In our lives we have family members, friends, neighbors, even service industry folks who make a difference. That’s what I saw as I looked through my photos from this week. These plants reminded me of such people. I am thankful for each in my life.

Bloom from my “heritage” snowball bush---originally from my grandmother, Mama’s, childhood home in Hampton Station KY. She took a cutting with her when she married Robert Davenport (my Dang-Dang) and moved to Clarksville, TN. Mama was my spiritual mentor.

A Magnolia tree given by Nancy R., a former Longreen neighbor, in memory of that same grandmother. A real essence of sweetness comes from her memory tree, just as pure sweetness emanated from the very core of her being 

A snapshot from my Wednesday “walkabout” with long time friend and walking encourager, Ellen. We walked in my “hood” this week.

Honeysuckle where I park for my “local” library---there the librarians bless my heart with their recommendations of “good reads” and big smiles. The distinct smell of the honeysuckle had childhood love of libraries and other memories flooding my mind.

Dear friend Ann’s, son Brad, (in sunglasses) has always been a generous supporter of the university. I know how pleased she is with his continued generosity in Memphis-- from education, health, and church to the arts.

A single dogwood bloom on the tree outside the track area beside hubby’s office at the university—a man who puts up with me. Enough said.
