A collectible worth acquiring

Today’s Proverb: “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and acquire knowledge with discretion.” Proverbs 8:12

Do you collect things? Books. Bottle caps. Dolls. Antiques. Stamps. Figurines. Automobiles. The list goes on.

A true collector knows the value of each item and is willing to part with them when they are no longer capable of taking care of the item. Instead of risking damage to a collectible, the person will be willing to sell, trade or give it away.

A “healthy” collector does not allow the collections to cause negativity in the environment nor do they typically affect their relationships or lifestyle.

Collectibles can bring a person a measure of happiness. But, it is temporary. Thinking we can pass on our collectibles to family members once we’re gone, does not always go well.

But, there is a collectible that we can acquire that has eternal value. Its value is transferable to others and is a legacy we can feel blessed to leave to our loved ones.

That collectible is wisdom and all she has to offer: discernment, knowledge, insight, and understanding.

While there is little monetary investment, there is great investment of our time and commitment. But, as we’ve spoken of before, the return on investment is worth it.

May we acquire wisdom, my friends.
