The story...
The Just for today... quotes contain pearls of personal wisdom that were shared from three souls who lived them out in reality. I've benefited much from others like them - you have the opportunity to receive too. Most of my knowledge, and wisdom too, seems to have come from others rather than garnered from my own experiences, thoughts, imagination, and ideas.
My favorite definition for wisdom is: "knowing where to go and how to get there." I first heard this definition in my 30's and I've retained it into my 60's - It's sufficed. It feels like my own though I heard it from another. I heard the definition of God as "That than which their is no greater" - It's sufficed. My framework, world view, or model of truth has been received and developed over a lifetime. But, reality speaks truth and "rocks my boat." The truth helps me more honestly and rightly view history, life, and future possibilities too. Often these realizations occur while walking side-by-side with my close friends and through reflection on the truth that God's revealed to us.
Amen means truly. People within the only church in town will often say "amen" when they hear the proclamation of what God says is true. It's a good thing to freely walk in the reality of the love of God in Christ.
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free" (Galatians 5:1)
Just for today...
"Each of us has the right and the obligation to make our own decisions. It is character-destroying to usurp that right." One Day at a Time (p. 285)
"But sometimes my thirst for knowledge can be an attempt to exercise power where I am powerless." Courage to Change (p. 285)
