Tasty Tuesday

This afternoon I met with dear friends at Bronte Bistro for lunch. We told stories, laughed and enjoyed a tasty meal. 

Pet of the week, Josie

 Josie is our sweet little pet. She brings us so much joy. 

Friendship Friday

"The best kind of friend is a praying friend." 

 

Wisdom Literature in the Bible

 J. I Packer shared these words regarding wisdom in the Bible. "The Bible is overflowing with humanity, full of wisdom about the business of living. There is in fact a whole section called the Wisdom Literature: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon,  and Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament, and James in the New. What seems to me the wisest thing ever said about the five Wisdom books of the Old Testament is this: the Psalms teach how to pray, Proverbs how to live, Job how to suffer, the Song of Solomon how to love,  and Ecclesiastes how to enjoy. That's good philosophy given under God for our learning and our blessing. And then comes, James, the New Testament Wisdom writer, who strikes  all these notes together within the compass of his five brief chapters. 

Wisdom regarding the business of living.  

Charming Charlie ... the pet of the week.

 Charming Charlie is a fashion brand for women - known for fun and colorful stores across the US... This brand had to pivot from a brick and mortar stores to online stores.  Now, I have to pivot to share about our Charming Charlie... the kitten of the week. 

Charlie is certainly charming. 

Looks like Charlie is cuddling with a stuffed toy. 

Friendship Friday

" Friends are the spice of life, making every moment flavorful." 

Earlier this week, we gathered for our monthly Cooking Light Luncheon.

Monday Musings ... Blame

When tragedy happens there is a natural inclination to want to find or know  what led to the incident  There is something that is unsettling when we don't have the answers. What do we do until we have more information.

This Chinese Proverb offers one perspective. "The man who blames others has a long way to go: The man who blames himself is halfway there. The man who blames no one is already there." 

Until, we have answers to tragedies, I think it is wise to withhold blame or judgment. It may be wise to simply pray for those touched by tragic events.
