Wisdom and Presence Today marks my 100th Post for "Wednesday Wisdom With Wyndham." This post is special to me because it represents a hundred weeks (of writing) that I have been blessed with Wyndham’s presence since his diagnosis of MSA. Each week is a blessing....
Wisdom and Courage I’ve been reading through the gospel of John, reading aloud to Wyndham. In John 21:18 Jesus tells Peter that in contrast to when Peter was young, dressed himself, and went wherever he wanted to go—this would not be the case in his future. Jesus...
Wisdom and Time Time – How do you view it? When I was a child I measured time by Christmases. The span from one year to the next felt eternal. Yet now, I at times wonder why I should even bother to take down the tree. It seems a blink before it’s time to put it up...
Wisdom Weaves a Tapestry Thank you, Julia, for sharing such meaningful words about Wyndham's life. Today, after a very difficult weekend with a sudden downward turn of health (though thankfully he's significantly better today), I am particularly grateful for those...
Wisdom “One-Anothers” Breaking all rules of grammar, today “one-another” becomes a verb. We receive so much encouragement from you as we are continually “one-anothered.” And today, we pause to thank God for you, and for the powerful “one-anothering” you provide for...
Wisdom is an Apprentice and a Mentor Today I taught, shared, and reminisced with a wonderful group of young women in the New England School of Missions about various experiences, life lessons, and favorite scriptures on discipleship. We talked about the importance of...
Wisdom and a Rock We had crazy wind yesterday. My rocking chairs frolicked around the porch from side to side. My door wreath landed at the neighbor’s fence, and everything hanging went flying. The birdhouse crashed. Our house, surrounded by open playing fields on...
Wisdom Throws a Pebble Though we had to tromp through snow to get to the creek beside our house, I decided today would be a good day to introduce our youngest grandchild to the thrill of throwing pebbles off the bridge into the water. Through the years, all our...
Wisdom Considers Every once in a while, a kind note or message arrives as a pleasant surprise—like when you hear from someone who you haven’t seen or spoken with in decades. I have been learning the value of kind words, and words that express appreciation. Kind words...
Wisdom Loves “Hump Day.” One of my favorite current commercials features a large camel walking into an office building enthusiastically asking employees, “What day is it?!” He thrills, even to the unenthusiastic response by one of the workers who mumbles, “It’s Hump...
Wisdom Knows “Busy’s” Purpose It’s an oft-spoken phrase: I’m so busy! Life seems to fly at a rocket-speed pace. Even when not busy working, we are busy checking phones, working remotes, and dashing kids to and from activities. We are often busy doing good things, as...
Wisdom Lets “Them” Catch You Have you ever sensed that someone was following you? It’s not a good feeling...usually. One time in college, roughly a year after the time I woke from my sleep with a man pointing a knife in my back (frightening, but amazing story…not for...
