wise words from a ? 6 ? year old.......

a conversation between a little boy at our church & his mom:

Travis: "Every man needs to find a wife. If he can."
Me: "And what if he doesn't?"
Travis: "Then he will have to go to the store."
Me: "To get a wife?"
Travis: "No. To get his food."


now that boy is going to make some girl a good husband!!!!  (wonder if he gives lessons?!)



and here are some wise words from an older man - not sure how old he was when he said/wrote this, but he wrote it in about 605 BC -- & it's still so very pertinent today!!! 


"even if the fig tree does not bloom & the vines have no grapes; even if the olive tree fails to produce & the fields yield no food; even if the sheep pen is empty & the stalls have no cattle -- even then i will be happy with the Lord.  I will truly find joy in the God who saves me."

his name was habakkuk.  he wrote a whole book.  maybe travis will write a book someday.


if he does, i'm going to buy it for someONE!!!!


blogger wouldn't let me post any pictures tonight --- so all you get today is wise words!!!

have a really blessed day!!!

p.s.  if you're having trouble posting a comment - some people have trouble, some don't - don't know what's up with that, but anyhow, there are some "reaction" buttons at  the bottom of each post.  you can click on one.  at least it'll tell me what you think even if you can't post a comment.  i'd like to know what people think.  thanks!!!!!

some other wise words i heard (not from the Bible): If a man is really interested in a woman, he WILL pursue her, no matter how busy he is or how far away or whatever. If he does not pursue her, he is really not that interested. So don't bother pursuing him.

amy - yes, those are wise words too! but don't worry, i'm not doing any pursuing. i'm too old fashioned for that!! i believe that's the man's responsibility. and besides, God's in charge, not me! i can't make someONE be interested, only God can. i'm trying to be like paul - content no matter what my circumstances, & more importantly, like Jesus! patient & forgiving & loving!
