Sunday, September 13- Wisdom

Sunday morning, we joined Gordo, Tyler and Grandpa in the clubhouse as they learned about Wisdom. What a great time we had!

Virtue: Wisdom: Finding out what you should do and doing it

Memory Verse:
"A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." Proverbs 22:3 NIV

Bible Story: The Word on Wisdom (benefits of wisdom)

Bottom Line: Wisdom is knowing AND doing.

After hearing something making a ruckus in the attic of the clubhouse, Grandpa Henry climbed up and began exploring. He discovered it was a furry little squirrel trying to make a home in the insulation. Nothing too exciting, one might think, right?

I mean, look at him- pretty tame little cute fuzzy squirrel....

Oh, but the adventure had just begun!

Grandpa Henry brought the scared squirrel down in a burlap sack and explained to Gordo and Tyler, who had been in the clubhouse trying to figure out what monster or magnetic fields were causing the noise in the attic, that he was going to go find the best place to set the squirrel free. He left with very clear instructions that Gordo and Tyler were NOT to touch the bag. Just keep an eye on it.


Unfortunately, as soon as Grandpa Henry left the clubhouse, Tyler and Gordo could not hold back any longer. Here is Tyler as he is getting ready to reach into the sack and pet the cute little fuzzy guy- just before he got attacked by the squirrel. Through trying to do what they wanted to do, instead of what they knew they should do, not only did the squirrel attach itself to Tyler's arm, but Gordo also got whacked over the head with a leaf rake a couple of times.
When Grandpa Henry returned, he was met with a couple of very repentant and sad little boys. He was able to talk to them about our virtue of the month: Wisdom, and the importance of not only knowing what to do, but also doing it. Well, Grandpa Henry summed it up pretty well when he closed with, "....Finding out what to do and doing it ALWAYS works out!"

Thanks for joining us at the clubhouse this month as we learned more about Wisdom!! We hope to see you next time, on October 18 at 9:45am in the Clubhouse as we discuss Individuality!
