Those Who Plan What Is Good Find Love

Those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. — Proverbs 14:22 

Today I went into work to find these gorgeous flowers on my desk.

Courtesy of a coworker I had offered to help.

What a thoughtful way to say "thank you."

As she put it, Leaving a little happiness on your desk!

What a blessing.

Kirk and I are enjoying them at home this weekend.

Those Who Plan What Is Good Find Love

Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. — Proverbs 14:22

Those who plan to do evil go astray.

Tonight Vladimir Putin began air attacks on Kiev.

We are praying that his plan will be thwarted.

And the forces of good will prevail.

Those who plan what is good will find love.

And they will find faithfulness.

We are praying for the safety of the civilians on both sides.

That God will wrap His loving arms around them and give them his peace that passes understanding.

Thank you, Lord.

Those Who Plan What Is Good Find Love

Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. — Proverbs 14:22

Those people who plan to do evil go astray from God's plan.

But those who plan what is good, find that God's love surrounds them.

And they find faithfulness in God.

Here is a Lunar new year dragon in the lobby of our hotel.

We got away with friends this weekend, and had a fun time.

We couldn't stop laughing.

God is good.

The Purpose of His Will

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. — Ephesians 1:11-12

In Christ, we were chosen.

God has worked out everything according to His will and plan.

He works out everything to conform with the purpose of His will.

God does this in order that we might live for the praise of His glory.

We put our hope in Christ.

He is the author and perfecter of our faith.

This is June Lake, one of God's creations.

I am one of His creations, too.

And I am grateful.

Everything Comes from the Lord

All this also comes from the Lord Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent. — Isaiah 28:29

God's plan is wonderful.

His wisdom is magnificent.

He is above and beyond anything I can imagine.

Everything comes from the Lord.

He is Almighty and Holy.

Last night we had a fun zoom time with our friends  in San Diego and their college-age or college-grad kids here in San Diego and in Spokane, Washington.

We had a fun time laughing and reconnecting.

God's plan is wonderful.

God Teaches Us the Right Way

His God instructs him and teaches him the right way. All this also comes from the Lord Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent. — Isaiah 28:26, 29

Mother's Day with Gary at Siesta Drive 2013

God really does instruct us.

He teaches me the right way.

Today I had the unpleasant task of letting someone go at work.

It was very draining, but it was the right thing to do.

My employee had not been going in the right way.

It's hard to see someone heading down the wrong path.

I asked God for wisdom to handle the situation and He, of course, provided.

Now I'm exhausted but very thankful that he continues to teach me to do right.

Kirk made us a delicious chicken fried rice dinner — a wonderful way to end the evening.

His plan is wonderful.

His wisdom is magnificent.
