The Bible, like a bank, is most helpful when it is open!
Open yours today!
I hope this message encourages and inspires your heart to see how beautiful and practical it is to use wisdom and understanding in our daily dealings in life.
Wealth Of Wisdom…
One man said, “I had a brain scan and was told not worry --there was
nothing there!” Which is all right because some of my best ideas over the years have come from others, anyway. And I have discovered that wisdom can be found in most any place and from most any person -- even the youngest of us.
It was a child who passed on this morsel: “If your sister hits you, don't
hit her back. They always catch the second person.” It is wisdom borne of hard experience.
Yet another child teaches us that “the best place to be when you are sad is in Grandma's lap.”
Adults, too, have wisdom to share. One parent observed that “the best way to keep kids at home is to make the home a pleasant place to be...and let the air out of their car tires.”
Wisdom can also be found among the youngest of us. And the most elderly will share it too, if we listen. I am related by marriage to a woman who is 103 years old. During her 100th year, “Aunt Pearl” was asked to speak to a group of high school students. She offered a century of wisdom in a few short sentences: “Enrich your life by becoming a better person, a better student and an individual worthy of trust and faithful in your commitments. Aspire to help and not hinder in all your good and worthy undertakings. Use these words often: 'thank you,' 'please,' 'I'm sorry.' After living 100 years, I admonish you to think deeply, speak gently, work hard, give freely, pay promptly, pray earnestly and be kind.”
Wisdom doesn't come much better than that.

Rejoice in God’s message of Love for you today:
“Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law he meditates day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” -- Psalm 1:1-3
PRAISE GOD
BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
