Wisdom or Folly

Each night, before bedtime, we all sit together to read a chapter in Proverbs and to pray together. Last night, we read chapter 9 and talked about wisdom and folly. We explained to Will and Abby that wisdom is knowledge, and that you gain wisdom from learning and experiencing life. We talked about the older people who are in our lives, and the wisdom they have and how we can learn so much from them because of all the things they have experienced during their lives. We talked about MawMaw (Brian's grandmother), and the wisdom she has from living 80 plus years. After that we explained that folly was ignorance and in Proverbs it says that folly causes our days to be shorter. So, before we prayed we asked them what we learned and to help them to remember I said, "What did we say MawMaw was?". Abby's little face lit up and said "I know! I know! Old!."

Nanny, I know you love this! :)
