This is a blog that I have created for my 5 grandchildren. I have a daily Scripture verse or two along with comments and questions. Hope this encourages young people to read in their Bible every day and to meditate on God's Word.

Read Proverbs 27:15
Read Proverbs 27:15 Oh no! Is Solomon talking about his wife here in this verse? He is going to be in trouble! But he really was in trouble because he had 300 wives! What was he thinking?! God intends for us to have only one wife - God's plan is seen in Adam and Eve. God created one man for one woman. Can you imagine the arguments that went on in Solomon's palace? One wife wanted to paint the kitchen blue, and another wife wanted to paint it green. One wife wanted to have peas for supper and another wife wanted green beans. Arguing was a constant problem. But the problem wasn't with Solomon's wives; the problem was that Solomon picked more than one wife. He was the one who was at fault! When you are trying to take a nap and you hear the rain water dripping off of the roof onto a metal yard ornament, you just can't sleep. All that you hear is drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. The constant dripping that annoyed Solomon was like the constant bickering of his wife. Except he had 300 of them! Avoid fussing and quarreling. Get along with your friends not while you are young. And when you grow up, get along with your husband or wife. Be kind and thoughtful. Other people will be kind to you if you are kind to them.
