It's a gift to yourself so you can move forward with your life rather than be drug down with anger and resentment. <br /><br />3. The things you love your spouse for in the beginning may be the very things that drive you insane later in your marriage. (I thought this was crazy when my aunt told me this. Oh how true it has become!) <br /><br />4. I learned it IS ok to go to bed angry. Sometimes more hurtful things can be said in the heat of the moment than if two people take a time out and revisit the subject a few hours later or the next day. My husband and I have often said, "I need a break. Can we discuss this again later so I can think about what you've said to me before responding?" <br /><br />Can't wait to hear what they think is the best advice.Frizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150850904947257133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-34154144638263751992009-07-01T19:48:07.588-04:002009-07-01T19:48:07.588-04:00What a fun bible study y'all are doing on wisd...What a fun bible study y'all are doing on wisdom.

Friends are fallible and so am I. Learn to get over it and love anyway. Refer to #1.<br /><br />3. Stay away from credit cards. I'm still regretting getting into this trap. I did NOT refer to #1 on this.<br /><br />4. Don't "lend" money to family expecting it back. Give it knowing it's a gift - not a payback. Again - refer to #1<br /><br />5. You can learn from everyone and everything. Everyone has a story to be told even if it's not been published or filmed.<br /><br />6. Keep a learning attitude. You don't know it all. My great-grandma learned to use the computer at 85 and still learned new things at 98.<br /><br />That's more than a couple, I know. But there's a proverb to go with each one, I'm sure.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178415484264635262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-88165604568889206852009-07-01T09:42:05.742-04:002009-07-01T09:42:05.742-04:00One phrase I learned in bible study years ago that...One phrase I learned in bible study years ago that has stayed with me and can be applied to marriage and parenting....

Probably one of the wisest things I've learned is to never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. What I'm mainly referring to is telling the people in your life that you love and appreciate them NOW because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us. I lost my mom, brother, and dad in a period of 6 short years and never, in a million years, did I think my life would have played out that way. I am so very grateful that I told them I loved them all the time, so they knew and, thank the Good Lord, I have no regrets. Just never take a single day or moment for granted!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114076859455081016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-28737167232172318672009-07-01T09:38:19.958-04:002009-07-01T09:38:19.958-04:00My grandpa always use to tell me, "If you wat...My grandpa always use to tell me, "If you watch your pennies your dollars will take care of themselves." <br /><br />That's still something that sticks with me and probably the wisest thing anyone has told me.<br /><br />Besides my parents saying, "if you don't stop making that face your face is going to freeze like that forever!"

That thought process has served me well ever since!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083175912948986487noreply@blogger.com
