Words of Wisdom!


I'm late to the party, but I like writing to a prompt and I liked this prompt! You can link-up, too, or go see other wonderful words of wisdom. Even a veteran teacher will enjoy the gems of wisdom given by fellow warriors!  The host of this party is Deb at 
Fabulously First


Even better is talking to the wisest person I know!  I hope you know Him, too! I place each student in His hands every day. Some of my firsties have seen more life in their six years than I'll ever see in mine.

If I want real true wisdom I think about O.W.L.S. I like to hang them around my room to remind me everywhere I look that God is with me every step of the way. Philippians 4:13 happens to be my favorite verse because it's helped me through some tough times. Feel free to grab your own OWLS and put them around your room, house, purse, to remind you of a strength greater than your own!

  1. LOVE your owls!!! Thanks so much for sharing. And you are so right, some of these little ones have seen way more than I ever will.It's heartbreaking. We jus have to place them in His hands.

    1. I'm glad to be following you! Put frogs close to the ground and Owls close to the ceiling that way which ever way you are looking you'll have a great reminder!

  3. Hmmmm maybe OWLS should go along with your 4:13 tattoo.

  5. LOVE this. Phil. 4:13 is my fav verse, too (I think I've hung by nail quicks onto that verse before), and I really like Only With the Lord's Strength! One more to add to my list . . .
