the man who gains understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold."
"The Proverb of the Week,
...SMS Texts from the Heart of a Father"
-by Daniel Curran
My beautiful family is rapidly transmorphing before my very eyes. Anything can happen to them at any given moment of any day, ...good, bad, or ugly. Wisdom is about "living right". It's about "living right" in the moment, now. Above all, get wisdom!
My oldest daughter recently married and is junior at UCSD.
My son left for college a month ago and is a new student at Cal Poly SLO.
My middle daughter is a junior in HS (6 feet tall) excelling in school and water polo.
My youngest daughter just started high school (3 feet of hair) and is excelling socially.
What can a father offer his beloved children, and his new son-in-law, as they are spreading their wings and going into the world?
He can pray for them daily, point them to Jesus, ...and send them SMS text messages containing his "Proverb of the Week":
- [Wisdom] is more precious than rubies;
- Nothing you desire can compare with [Wisdom].
- Long life is in [Wisdom's] right hand;
- In [Wisdom's] left hand are riches and honor.
- [Wisdom's] ways are pleasant ways,
- And all [Wisdom's] paths are peace.
- [Wisdom] is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
- Those who lay hold of [Wisdom] will be blessed. (Proverbs 3: 15-18)
Note: last week I texted my kids their "POTW" at a bad time. Hope's & Hannah's phone alerts went off during their early morning band practice and Hope got her phone confiscated. Selah. Above all, get wisdom!
