Glean

When the one that took you in under his wing - unexpectedly flies away to Him....it can leave you flat out wondering.

We're walking around here all sniffly-nosed today...

Because a man of God - who built into the life of my husband and oozed wisdom and encouraged generously and ran for Christ - he has gone now to be with the One He ran the race for.

In a world where so few men are mentored....

In a world where so few women actually experience Titus 2:4-5....

In a world where more men pass down pornography addictions than paternal know-how....

In a world where women learn to flaunt curves rather than compassion....

In a world where wisdom wanes and cheaters win...

If you find someone willing to pour out all kinds of God-goodness into your heart - open wide and drink in every Spirit-inspired drop of biblical wisdom they offer you.

And let it soak deep. And write it all down. And say thank you.

And know that you get to glean from a rare gem.

Oh, glean and guzzle and glean some more, my friend.....

Because you just never know when they'll be gone.

Praying for the Jim Fink family this week. Please join me.
