“My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

Proverbs 3:20-23

The old ways are not all bad ways. Proverbs invites us to drink deeply from the wells of our faith tradition. It encourages us to draw on the work of those who have gone before us to help us build a theological outlook for the challenges ahead.

CLOSING PRAYER

Father, help me to see the good in my heritage and give me vision to leave a lasting inheritance in the things I say and do each day that make a difference for eternity.
