What do you see when you are in the company of an attractive woman who does not have the wisdom of God? Beauty fades from a woman who does not search for God’s answers to life’s situations.

I invited the Lord into my life in my mid 20’s after having just enough time to live a while on this planet making foolish decisions and lacking in discernment. How thankful I am that He swept me off my feet and exchanged my backward ways for His wisdom. And to think that he is eager to repair, eager to train and give new perspective to life, makes me stop and reflect how thankful I am for God’s wisdom every day.

I had a new baby girl when I dedicated my life to Christ. I was a nervous, protective mother and very careful about where I would take my new daughter and whose influence I would allow. Wisdom came to me, and God began to show me my fears and replace them with confidence. He placed wonderful Christian women in my life to mentor me. He gave me the wisdom to look within myself and realize that I needed to make a lot of changes. These changes were expensive gifts I gave to my daughters and my husband because it cost me my pride to confess my sins and learn how to be a loving wife and mother.

God’s wisdom is priceless. It is a must for a women not only concerned with beauty but concerned with giving her family the highest quality of love. In Luke 2:52, I read that Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men. Now if Jesus, the Son of God come to earth, increased in wisdom, so must I.

Wisdom is the topic today that Lynn has asked us to thank God for and how it has affected our relationships. If you would like to participate today in Thankful Thursdays, you can log on to Spiritually Unequal Marriage and write about the wisdom that comes from God using your favorite scripture. Have a wonderful Thursday everyone.

  2. I'm so glad that you came to know Him at that point in your life. It's good to read how other Christian women came alongside of you too. I think it's important to mentor the younger ones in the ways of God. I love it when women are beautiful on the inside. It really makes them beautiful on the outside too as it shines through.

  3. Hi Sweet Friend,

    You are so right my friend and God has blessed you with His wisdom. As Debbie said above, "I love it when women are beautiful on the inside. It really makes them beautiful on the outside too as it shines through." You shine because you radiate His love on to others. You are a Beautiful Woman with a Beautiful Heart for Him.

    Love & Hugs,

  5. Precious God had an appointed time for you to HEAR and RECEIVE JESUS into your life and I'm grateful you listened.

    Wisdom is a word often NOT used as much as it should be or investigated as much as it should be in the Word.

    I'm often reminded that when GOD asked Solomon what he wanted HE ASKED FOR WISDOM TO LEAD GOD'S PEOPLE!!!

    That became my cry about 10-12 years ago when I really stepped out and up in the call of God on my life and stopped fence warming and I can say that every time I ask Him for wisdom He generously pours it out. He's so awesome.

    Love your heart and love you.

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

Humor for the Bride and Groom

A young couple decided to wed.  As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive.  Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.   "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."  His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"   "Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiancĂ© will be put off by them."  "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."   Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke
