Culture of Wisdom
|
Wisdom culture is about welcoming the stranger in need
of a new start and giving them a place to lay their head.
Wisdom culture is beginning the day silent in chapel
surrendering oneself to the Lord and asking him to be present in
one’s heart, mind and soul.
Wisdom culture is hanging out someone else’s washing
and bringing it back in when rain threatens.
Wisdom culture is offering to make someone thirsty a
much needed cup of tea when they return home battered from the
demands of the day.
Wisdom culture is making someone hungry a meal on the
eve of the day as others prepare to lay their head.
Wisdom culture is asking how someone is and taking the
time to listen and express concern.
Wisdom culture teaches one to love and persevere with
others even when feeling annoyed and frustrated.
Wisdom culture is one that doesn’t count the cost but
invests and treasures God’s people rather than the bank balance.
Wisdom culture is simple and uncluttered. |

impoverished without it!
