During my chat with Linda this morning.....

.........we were talking about the wonderful things that go on in our lives, the simple pleasures that others miss out on, especially those where we can say, "Thank you, Lord!".

I told her that in my blog posting today I mentioned some of the things which have lifted my spirits recently, and remembered a very valuable and profound statement made by Justin. He was talking to me about a girl he knows, actually a woman, who "never has anything wise to say". My eyebrows went up because, gulp!, is that me he is talking about???? When I said something like that to him, immediately he came back, (himself being very wise!), saying, "Oh, no, you always have something wise to say!" Whew! I may not be very smart, but wise goes a long way. I told Linda I'd like that on my grave marker: "She always had something wise to say----wise aleck, wise _ _ _, or just plain wise!!" Make a note of that someone, please. Or, the marker could read: She always had something to say--period!

This will be my goal, to make sure I always have something wise to say. I told Linda, after she told me about a sermon Pastor Hahm gave from Proverbs, that I am going to make Proverbs my project, starting tomorrow. So there! Oh, you're going to hear it now, folks, hang on to your hats, we're going for a ride!

To all my Proverbs 31 friends!
