True Wisdom

My prayer today is to have a little True Wisdom.

James 3:17
“But the wisdom that comes from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Pure – true, real, from God.  I will pray every morning for wisdom to meet the challenges of the day.
Peaceable – I want a peaceful home and so I will speak peacefully to my family members…and insist that they do the same.
Easy to be entreated – to ‘entreat’ means to ask someone earnestly or anxiously to do something.  As a mom, I am ‘entreated’ all day long!  I will not be short with my children and will always have enough time to give when they entreat me for the thousandth time.
Full of mercy  – I will have mercy when something is broken or misplaced or even when something is said in haste.  I will not hold grudges or pout.
Good fruits  – may my children and husband witness the fruits of the spirit in my life.
Without partiality – I will treat all with fairness and respect – not giving more respect (time, cuddles, a listening ear) to one and less to others.
Without hypocrisy – May my family see that I am the same at home as I am in public.

  4. So sweet! I giggled about the entreated and mercy comments you made! You’re such a good Mama and wife. Your family would be lost without you. . . Love you! xoxo
