Wishes spring from dreams
Benevolent actions serve—
Destiny calling
Walking endless miles
Faithful boots always ready—
Echoing wisdom
Joining together
Solving life’s cherished puzzle—
Heart’s bits and pieces
It defies the human mind to find the depths of the mind of God. We can plumb the depths of another’s mind. But we cannot begin to scratch the surface of the unsearchable judgments of God.
From Romans 11:33-34: “O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways!”
From Daniel 1:17: “To these four young men God gave knowledge and skill in every aspect of literature and wisdom; Daniel also had insight into all visions and dreams.”
Life’s empty vision
Forsaking this heart
Empty days and nights
Waiting for restart
Wisdom comes forward
Warming this cold heart
Heaven’s power stirs
Blessing life’s jumpstart
Father’s divine Word
Lifting up this heart
Treasures of mercy
Bringing life’s kick start
Victory arrives
Restoring this heart
Wisdom’s vision breathes
Gracing life’s bold start

Growing up, young lad’s treasured dreams
Playing on big league baseball team
Fun-filled adventure marks most days
Journey’s actions conquer life’s maze
Thoughts of family seem remote
Happy to fish from Dad’s new boat
Learning life’s lessons on God’s watch
Scripture’s heroes always topnotch
Far too soon, years advance along
Melodies of love, life’s new song
Marriage joins young man with his bride
Sons and daughters, soon at their side
God’s fatherly lessons made clear
Maturity quiets each fear
Fatherhood blesses this Dad’s soul
Making him feel alive and whole
Collecting lifetime of keepsakes
Children love his homemade milkshakes
Years move quickly, home’s empty nest
Dad’s wisdom guides each child’s quest
Creating humbleness of heart
Fatherhood ignites life’s jumpstart
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Don’t gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver and gold.

Treasuring righteousness
Divine wisdom’s landscape
With every moment
Creation never waits
Speaking with blessed grace

With every journey
Creator shares new dawn
Lighting each faithful path
Divine wisdom shines on
With every sunset
Creation never rests
Guarding paths of justice
Divine wisdom invests
From Proverbs 2:10: “For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.”
Too many tasks
Where to begin?
Overwhelming
Life in tailspin
Slowing down, breathe
Dividing tasks
One at a time
Patience unmasks
Never alone
Dad’s words come back
Remembering
Wisdom unpacks
Taking one step
Then another
Bringing success
Like none other
