Day 26 Words of Wisdom

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12

Time is a gift from God that must be opened one second at a time.

We're midway through our 52 days and here in the extended High Hill family we've just completed about 6 weeks of birthday celebrations from the oldest of our family's 4 generations down to our youngest. That's how we do things around here. We like some months so much better than others that we tend to group the births! :)

And because "time" is such a wonderful gift that God has granted to us we feel it appropriate to celebrate birthdays as a way of commemorating the "time" that has been given to the celebrant and thanking our Creator for the gift. Are we honoring the birthday boy or girl? Oh yes! But we're also honoring our Lord! The gift of "time" is a wonderful thing to celebrate!

If you know someone who is having a birthday today there is no better "time" than now to help them celebrate this wonderful gift that God has given them to unwrap each moment of their life.

Day 24 Days of Wisdom

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12

We need to make sure that we're doing well in order to keep from growing weary while doing it.

It's hard for a task that a person isn't doing to make them tired! (Galatians 6:9; II Thessalonians 3:13)  That's like me saying that farm labor has made me tired when actually I cleaned house all day.  I might still be tired at the end of the day, but farm labor can hardly get the blame!

Paul admonished spiritual farm laborers not to grow weary during the time of harvest. It's harvest time!  We need to get to work! (John 4:35)

Day 23 Words of Wisdom

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12

Do not punish children for accidental behavior but do not reward them for misbehavior either.

Being punished for accidents confuses a child as to what is right and wrong and makes them afraid of trying new things.

Being rewarded for misbehavior confuses a child as to what is right and wrong and makes them unafraid of trying their parents' nerves.
