March Faithbooking Lesson

As you know, February was a BIG month for me. This is "midlife" - the thing that drives rational adults to do very irrational things. The old age of youth and the youth of old age. A turning point.

Thankfully, it isn't a wrinkle-free face that will see me through. The Bible says that wisdom is the principal thing. Wisdom requires that we seek out and take in all God has for us; we must listen, learn, and apply everything that we learn. If we do that, we will live out the rest of our lives with a beauty that surpasses anything even the best wrinkle cream could provide.

The idea for the lesson was to share nuggets of wisdom with your children, nieces, nephews, younger siblings via your scrapbook albums. You could do this by creating a pocket page and writing specific notes regarding different aspects of life - anything from household tips to handling the challenges of marriage. I share a story in this month's lesson (just click on the lesson above to enlarge) about a wise and loving high school teacher who made an impact on my life with her written words. We can do the same for our loved ones by passing along nuggets of wisdom through our albums.

Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will keep you. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all of your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, ad she will promote you; she will bring you honor, when you embrace her. She will place on your head an ornament of grace; a crown of glory she will deliver you. Proverbs 4:5-9
