What’s necessary to live a meaningful life–that isn’t all that complicated. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School.
From Proverbs 5:5-6: “Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget nor turn away from the words of My mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.”
Robert Fulghum (born 1937) is an American author.
Wisdom always teaching
Every day, words matter
Sharing encouragement
Negative now scatters
Gentleness in spirit
Words of inspiration
Sending intended grace
Fragrance of carnations
Pleasant conversation
Cooler than grill’s briquettes
Reflecting heart’s sweetness
Love guiding words’ mindset
Strangers greeted as friends
Careful with choice of words
Sharing joy with others
Kindness stirred, always heard
Words echo character
Softness cradles each thought
Thinking before saying
Always, as mother taught
