A seven year old wants to give me wisdom? Really?

I have no idea what your relationship with God is, but this is a well written account of what it means to sin, and it shines with more wisdom than many people possess. This 7 year old boy, knew he’d committed a sin, knew he had to make it right with God and the storekeeper, and he knew that sin leads to separation from God and emptiness. Wisdom from a 7 year old? Yes indeed.

She was 7 in 1965, and wanted to share a strong lesson she learned that day. One that stuck with her, and she thinks important enough to tell others.

Looks like she could teach you humility, and through that, wisdom.

Some learn early.
It’s a rare gift.

Not wanting to pile on, but here is a Biblical reference:
Corinthians 1:27
"But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong."
Peace.

A seven year old wants to give me wisdom? Really?A properly open and wise mind can learn from anyone or anything, at any time. An ant and a grasshopper can teach you much, if you have the wisdom to see.
