Wisdom

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty Proverbs 21:5
Choose a good reputation over great riches; for being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. Proverbs 22:1
A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls Proverbs 25:28
Pride ends in humiliation while humility brings honour
Proverbs 29:23
Worry weighs a person down;
an encouraging word cheers a person up
Proverbs 12:25

  3. Hi Jo. It was wonderful to hear from you and I left a message for you on my blog.

    It was a pity that we did not meet up while Gaelyn was here but you did have a good reason. :) Maybe the timing will be better next year.

  5. Thank you for the wonderful peek into the garden! It is so beautiful to know that we have been bought back through the actions of the Son."All of creation has been reconciled..." Walk in beauty, and may you be richly blessed in all that you do!

  6. Thanks Jo, for your visit and comment on my place.

    I am glad I "meet" you! Sounds you and your husband have a beautiful and significant life. (Sorry my bad English... sometimes I could not to choose the correct meanings)

    So wise these proverbs, principally this: A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls Proverbs 25:28.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Best wishes from Sonia, São Paulo, Brazil.

  9. Thanks diane;) seeing you in your garden makes me homesick for mine! Enjoy!

    Hi Sunny;) yes, these Proverbs are very practical, aren't they?

    Thanks Joan;) I popped over to your blog again. Yes, we'll make a definite plan to meet up next time. We were just a day to quick/early for you and Gaelyn!

    Thanks Regina!

    Thanks Mike. I hope you're not feeling lonely and have heard from Gaelyn already.

    Hi Sonia;) Your English is excellent. Hope to see more of you on my blog.

    Thanks Gattina;) the birds are in fine fettle. I will visit Pet Pride tomorrow. Thanks for taking over that meme. Yes, we're used to the Expat lifestyle but it was difficult to leave the green lushness of South Africa and come back the desert! Settling in fine, though.

    Yes, Betsy;) my garden at home which I peek at now and again here on the computer! Bless you.

  13. Yes, Pat, this is my garden back home. I scroll down to this post and "lose" myself in the images when the heat gets too much (which is now already) The Bible version is my NLT - New Living Translation. Bless you my friend. (((Hugs))) Jo
