Monday, September 9th
It's another beautiful morning! :-)
We may have to do a rain dance...anyone know how? No rain yet..this is the second summer in a row we've had drought conditions...so dry :-)
Yesterday, we had a good time at Grandparents Day. Kaylee liked the clown but would only get so close. It was funny watching how excited she was but when I tried to walk her over by him...she ran the other way.
Today, I'm going to take it easy and maybe get some things done around the house...I need to get back to cleaning and tossing or giving away some of the stuff...
I'm going to continue to go through our things and grandma Gloria's things. I am so close to getting it all sorted...:-) so happy...
I thought I might get another dumpster and continue to get rid of what we don't need or things no-one would want.
At 2:30 today I'm going with Christine and Kaylee to their Dr appointments. :-)
I am so thankful for all I can do?

Today's Bible Study
The Favorable Hand of the Lord
Read | Proverbs 8
It is hard to think of Jesus as ever needing improvement or growth of any kind, but the Word of God tells us that He “kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:52). As God, He was complete and had everything, but as a human being, He had to grow in wisdom and favor. So do we.
When we become children of God by placing our faith in Jesus, we are fully accepted and deeply loved, regardless of our behavior. It’s not possible for the Lord to love us more at some times than at others, because He is love (1 John 4:16) and cannot stop loving.
But favor is a different story: it can be conferred or withdrawn by our Father. The believer’s responsibility is to choose a path that leads to His favor, according to guidelines laid out in the Word of God.
Some of the Lord’s preferred paths are specifically described in Proverbs 8, in which wisdom is personified: she is calling in the streets and inviting the simple to come. She finishes her discourse by saying that “he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord” (v. 35).
From this passage, we learn that obtaining wisdom and favor is not a one-time event but, rather, a growing process that includes specific steps. First, we must listen and keep wisdom’s ways. Then we are advised to heed instruction and not neglect it. Finally, we are exhorted to watch daily and wait at her doorposts. (vv. 32-34). God is pleased when His children act wisely.
Another great day!
