Wisdom is not something you can buy…it’s something concerning the who, where and why.

”Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.”  Charles Spurgeon

Wisdom Is Not

Wisdom is not a time nor a place.

It’s something that we learn; it’s full of grace.

Wisdom is not something that you can buy…

It’s something concerning the who, where and why.

Wisdom is not something you can touch or feel.

But concerning living your life…it’s very real.

Wisdom is not – What do you think of when you think about wisdom?  For me, an image of an old, wrinkled-faced man with a long white beard, sitting quietly, whispering wise words to those around him comes to mind.  Wisdom can mean different things to different people, depending on their life experiences.  I am sure you’d agree, however, that wisdom isn’t  something to be taken lightly…it is something that we all need and it takes time to acquire.

”Knowledge comes from learning.  Wisdom comes from living.”  Anthony Douglas Williams

Wisdom comes with life experiences.  As children, we learn quickly the meanings of the words “yes” and “no”.  As we mature, we learn from our mistakes; what we’ve done wrong and what we need to do to make things right.  We realize that wise choices, whether we like them or not, generally bring about favorable situations, not only for ourselves, but for others,

Wisdom isn’t always easy to follow, but when we do, it fortifies us especially when making important decisions.

There is something to be said for being wise…whether you are young or old. Like the wrinkled-faced man, or the intricate grooves of a tree trunk, wisdom is something that becomes interwoven deep into our character.  Relying on past experiences that have taught us what a wise choice can offer, gives us a sense of confidence and independence that helps guide us along our paths.

No, wisdom is not something tangible, it is something you must live and learn…but when you apply it to your daily life…oh, the immeasurable gift you’ll receive in return!

Peace and love,

Generosity – What’s in a word?

Giving, fullness, abundance , love,

these are the things that come from above.

Charity, kindness, goodness, all three,

they make for a life full of generosity!

What’s in this word for you?  If you can tell me please do!

For some reason, the word generosity makes me feel good.  It makes me feel as if something wonderful is happening.  When we are generous in our kindness towards others, well it makes the wisdom of Jesus’ instructions to “…do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Matthew 7:12) become alive.  It causes me to strive to make generosity a way of life.

May you live your generosity in a powerful way.

Peace and love,

Felecia
