strange women and evil men...

He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.

 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

Proverbs 13:20, 22

Three weeks tomorrow of sacrificial praying for my husband…I might just have a future as an intercessor….this experience has been such a blessing to me.  Today’s charge--that my beloved be kept safe from “strange women and evil men.” We’ve been laughing about THAT one ALL day. 

I hadn’t fried my swordfish when

I posted yesterday''s blog, so here it is. 

Yes, it was marvelous.  Recipe to follow.

My husband keeps wise counsel.  It’s who he is.  He is the one to whom friends go for sober, thoughtful guidance, and he gets as good as he gives.  His children have inherited from him; even at their tender ages, they seem to be shaping up to be the sages in their social groups.  I think it’s a legacy inherited on both sides….we seem to be the advice people, more so because we listen more than we talk…but there is also wisdom in silence….kind of a ministry of listening.

Lord, I thank You for the company of wise counsel with which You’ve covered my husband (and us all) throughout our lives…diverse communities of faith that enriched and enfolded us; delivering us daily from evil.  Keep him (and us) forever in Your Path, we pray.

And by the way, I’m probably the strangest woman my husband knows…and that’s got to be proof that God is good.
