wisdom... I crave it, but not the means of acquiring it!
Yes, it's not something we learn whilst at the beach!!... mind you, one of my healing healing epiphanies happened on a beach
I think there should have been only one healing in the last comment!!
I recently visited my 91 year old father and he told me the most amazing thing. He looked at me and said, "I finally realized what I've been lacking all these years, wisdom. I've been praying Psalm 51:6 for myself and I think I'm getting it." My mom looks at me and said, "It's true. He's different." Can you imagine? 91 years old. I love that man. And yes, he has needed wisdom. He has had a tortured life. But now, it appears he is stepping into the light!!
Perhaps it was a double portion of healing, Geoff ;)
That's encouraging, Candy! Wow. I keep being confronted lately with the idea that we NEVER, EVER stop growing. It's been a lie fed to us that we do, methinks. God is a bit more creative than that ;)
One of the people I love most to sharpen my thinking with is nearly 80 years old - and established our denomination Mission in PNG 50+ years ago. He challenges me thinking about faith and what the bible means in today's society.
For some reason, most people use the word Wise when describing him!!

Thank you so much all of you for visiting and especially to Candy and Janet for your beautiful stories.
I have just had a beautiful Father's day which is my favourite day of the year!
