Proverbs 23:25 “May your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful!” Thanksgiving is never over! The joy a father and mother receive from their reciprocally loved children brings great appreciation and thanksgiving both to and from their children. The only joy greater than children born into a family relationship as intended by God is the phenomenal love shown to each of us by our Savior. That great love is comprehendible. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 23:23 “Buy the truth and do not sell it—-wisdom, instruction and insight as well.” All tangible items are used, enjoyed and then replaced with other tangibles which go through the same cycle. God tells us in this verse there are some golden treasures which become a permanent part of an admirable person’s life. Honesty-truth, wise thought in theory and practice, teaching or instruction of valuable thought in properly living life and discerning competency and living with God induced intelligence are traits which characterize a valuable, conscientious, faith filled person. Never sell or get rid of these traits.

Proverbs 23:22 “Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.” Parenting has to be one of the most difficult and rewarding and important responsibilities any of has. Wise parenting is intended to produce wise children. When both parents and children place God at the head of learning and instruction, a faith filled environment is the result. What a valuable relationship between children, parents, grandchildren and grandparents.

Proverbs 23:18 “There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.” The biggest word in the English language is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious meaning extremely good or wonderful. At least, that is what Mary Poppins leads is to believe. How about this—Hope is an absolute which our God has freely given each of us. Hope is only a 4 letter word, but it has meaning beyond our comprehension. Which of the two words will you base your eternity on?

Proverbs 23:15 “Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.” What are you doing today? A common question we ask ourselves every morning. Is a common answer—now, let’s see—how can I serve the One who loves me the most? The One who even died for me. Certainly I should show appreciation for that great love. Is that how we start our day? Or do we start the day by thinking—-what do I do today for gain for myself and for my pleasure? We all have a choice. Let’s make the right choice! Have a great weekend.
