NUMBER OUR DAYS

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

It’s hard to believe that the year just started but January is almost over.  At our age the years seem to fly by faster and faster. Another thing we have noticed is that we don’t have the energy we used to have which makes it difficult to get as much accomplished as we would like.  As a result we don’t have the productive hours that we had twenty years ago.  It seems like the day just begins and before you know it evening is settling in. Therefore, we need wisdom from on High to use our time wisely and to work wisely. We have been clinging to Psalm 90:12 to help us wisely number our days.

We have set several goals for 2015 and are eager to meet and exceed those goals. Gail is in the process of creating a painting for the 2015 ArtPrize in Grand Rapids as well as developing a body of work of her own creativity. This year’s ArtPrize project will include many members of our family contributing to the final art piece. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that the piece will be accepted in the competition. We look at it as building memories with the family.

 Paul has been busy caning a chair along with subbing at Lenawee Christian School. However, his one big goal is to begin working on a book that captures the history of Lenawee Christian School. He’s hoping to have the book completed in time for the fortieth anniversary of the school in 2017.  There will be many people to interview and many pictures to pour over that will make the story of Lenawee Christian come alive. He will be looking for anyone who might have special pictures that could be included in the book.

We encourage everyone to meditate on Psalm 90:12 and use it to help you wisely use your days. Life is precious - - - - don’t waste it.

Blessings and Encouragement,

Paul, Gail, Patsy, and Penny
