"Prompt- "Proverbs 3:27-29
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

Explain these verses."

What Solomon is saying is that we are not suppose to procrastinate about doing the right thing. Doing the right thing is an act of love. When we drag our feet we are delaying love. If somebody needs something and it is in our power to give it we give it immediately. We do not make them suffer by doing without. It makes no difference who it is. There are exceptions to the rule. For example, we should never give if we know for a fact we are giving to somebody who will use it for harm or sinfully. I will not give things to addicts. They earn it or do without. I do not want to enable sin.

Empty Nest and Me  (E) Now that the house is going to be empty, what about me #1899142 by Stormy Lady

, a poem about something every parent goes through: empty nest syndrome. What was it like for you? If you have no children, what do you think it would be like?

Empty nest was difficult for me. I was a single parent, so I was both dad and mom to my son. He started running out of control when he was 14. I moved when he was 15 and let his mom have him. I had chosen to move to pursue my recovery and my career. It was still difficult as I was used to providing for two.
