WHEN WISDOM BEGINS

The true beginning of wisdom is the desire to learn.
Wisdom of Soloman 6:17 (CEB) http://CommonEnglishBible.com

Through the years, my now young adult children will express how they had made a mistake, how they had wished they had done something differently. I would tell them that I, too, wish I had responded in a different manner, but at the time, I did not know another way. It was the experience that taught me. Age also teaches us wisdom, as we gain knowledge through the years,looking at a concept in a differently. A desire to learn can never cease. In our elder years, we can learn from the younger generations, their minds young and fresh. In return, we share our experiences with them. The cycle of life never stops, as we learn and gain wisdom from one another.
