By the time I got home from my\u00a0memory drive of “playing hooky”<\/a> with our kids, my day’s route\u00a0had been shaped rather loosely like an\u00a0upside down triangle, except\u00a0that the homeward drive from Jamestown was a very wiggly line — both up and down and from side to side (in other words, very hilly and very curvy).<\/p>\n

The bright sun, low in the western sky,\u00a0made the almost-ready-to-turn leaves look so pretty.\u00a0Trees made a canopy over this lane\u00a0by the side of the road.<\/p>\n

\"jamestown-to-livingston-drive-with-mother-fentress-courthouse-017\"<\/p>\n

Cattle grazed in front of the barn on the lane’s eastern side.<\/p>\n

\"jamestown-to-livingston-drive-with-mother-fentress-courthouse-035\"<\/p>\n

I could see shadows, a pasture, and distant hills on the western side. . .<\/p>\n

\"By<\/p>\n

. . . and a\u00a0butterfly was tasting nectar from the wildflowers . . .<\/p>\n

\"Wildflowers<\/p>\n

. . . beyond this very sturdy fence post.<\/p>\n

\"jamestown-to-livingston-drive-with-mother-fentress-courthouse-032\"<\/p>\n

I took one more picture of the lane before pulling myself away to continue my trek back home.<\/p>\n

\"jamestown-to-livingston-drive-with-mother-fentress-courthouse-038\"<\/p>\n

You are guiding your children along a lane every day, and God has given you instructions\u00a0about how to do that.<\/p>\n

Begin in His word.<\/p>\n

Your word is a lamp to my feet<\/em>
\n And a light to my path.<\/em>
\n Psalm 119:105<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t follow the advice of the wicked or be\u00a0in the path where sinners walk.<\/p>\n

How blessed is the man<\/em>
\n who does not walk<\/em>
\n in the counsel of the wicked,<\/em>
\n Nor stand in the path of sinners . . .<\/em>
\n Psalm 1:1<\/em><\/p>\n

Stay away from violence.<\/p>\n

As for the deeds of men,<\/em>
\n . . . by the word of Your lips<\/em>
\n I have kept from the paths of the violent.<\/em>
\n My steps have held fast to Your paths.<\/em>
\n My feet have not slipped.<\/em>
\n Psalm 17:4-5<\/em><\/p>\n

Practice lovingkindness and tell the truth.<\/p>\n

All the paths of the Lord<\/em>
\n are lovingkindness and truth<\/em>
\n To those who keep<\/em>
\n His covenant and His testimonies.<\/em>
\n Psalm 25:10<\/em><\/p>\n

Follow God’s commands.<\/p>\n

Make me walk in the path<\/em>
\n of Your commandments,<\/em>
\n For I delight in it.<\/em>
\n Psalm 119:35<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t follow sinners.<\/p>\n

My son, if sinners entice you,<\/em>
\n Do not consent.<\/em>
\n My son, do not walk in the way with them.<\/em>
\n Keep your feet from their path,<\/em>
\n Proverbs 1:10, 15<\/em><\/p>\n

Follow the example of good men.<\/p>\n

So you will walk in the way of good men<\/em>
\n And keep to the paths of the righteous.<\/em>
\n Proverbs 2:20<\/em><\/p>\n

Follow the path of the righteous.<\/p>\n

But the path of the righteous<\/em>
\n is like the light of dawn,<\/em>
\n That shines brighter and brighter<\/em>
\n until the full day.<\/em>
\n Proverbs 4:18<\/em><\/p>\n

Watch where you are going.<\/p>\n

Watch the path of your feet <\/em>
\nAnd all your ways will be established.<\/em>
\nProverbs 4:26 <\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t ignore reproof; do heed instruction.<\/p>\n

He is on the path of life <\/em>
\nwho heeds instruction,<\/em>
\nBut he who ignores reproof <\/em>
\ngoes astray.<\/em>
