Sayings...

These two quotes entered my world this week...from totally different sources. 

"One of the greater things of tragedy is the realization of what is really important...

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When life is dragging you back with difficulties,   It means that it is going to launch you at something great...so focus and keep aiming..."

There are books and books of quotes...ones on love, politics, success, life,...you name it and I am sure there is a quote or a book about it...Chinese proverbs, taking care of children sayings, living with teenagers/the elderly/parents of toddlers/menopause, etc., etc., etc....and even a few that quote the Bible correctly ....

The Book of Proverbs handles many of life's events with succinct profound quotes..many people read a chapter of Proverbs each day of the month, as there are 31 chapters of practical everyday advice and observations..covering money handling to Godly Women, adultery to discipline, foolish to wise...a worthy study of life around us in all generations...in all life circumstances...

Proverbs 1:1-7 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: 

for gaining wisdom and instruction;

for understanding words of insight; 

for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,

doing what is right and just and fair; 

for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young— let the wise listen and add to their learning,and let the discerning get guidance— 

for understanding proverbs and parables,the sayings and riddles of the wise. 

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

Thank YOU again for Your words...spoken through Solomon...help me to seek You and not the ways of the foolish...

For gaining wisdom, understanding, prudent behavior, doing what it right that I may fear You ...
