The Right Kind of Wisdom
The right kind of wisdom is needed.
It comes only from God above
He gives all knowledge and wisdom
Filled with mercy and love.
The right kind of wisdom is needed
To meet life’s challenges daily
Listen to the voice that whispers
Words of peace, love and empathy.
The right kind of wisdom God shares
With his children, is available and unique.
It’s common place information
Found in the Bible oblique.
When life seems out of balance and tilted
The pressures may overwhelm.
The word of God renews faith
With a fresh perspective of wisdom.
Great words of wisdom are simple
Proven through centuries of prayer
Inspired by God’s engaging spirit,
That increases daily with courage and power.
When children pray, we stop to listen.
Stillness
Stillness is needed now.
Let us hush, hush
For this hour.
Not a word echoed
Not a sound uttered
Precious is this time.
Silence all, for this moment.
Silence is required in our souls.
All busyness must cease
To be pertinent
When children stop, kneel
And whisper words so sweet.
Let us pray.
Answer the Question:
What Do You See
Attitude is everything.
Altitude gives us lift.
Fortitude shows a strong backbone.
The multitude is not always right.
Let will power equal determination.
Being thrusted in the situation
What do you see in it all?
Thorns on roses
Or roses with thorns.
There is beauty in one and danger in the other.
Above all, honesty is essential.
