Some of my favorite sayings .......
" Show beats tell " - I believe that people can say anything. It's what they actually do that makes the difference.
" Slow to anger, quick to mercy " - It takes a lot for me to get angry. I am more likely to be hurt. But I am quick to forgive, especially if you express regret.
" Live your life as if He is watching....because He is " - I am far from perfect. I do try to live my life in a way that I can be proud of. Many times, when I am thinking something wrong or doing something wrong, I am convicted by the Spirit. I am so blessed to have a conscience. It saves me a lot of trouble.
" She sure can burn a pot " - The first time I heard this was when Mr. Mixologist was talking on the phone to his cousin from New York. It was funny to me because I had never heard it put that way before. Where I come from, we say "she throws down" or "she put her foot in it" to describe a good cook.
" Pain is just weakness leaving your body " - Truth right here. Every time I go through life's difficulties, though it might be painful, I come out wiser, stronger and better equipped to handle the next challenge.

My favorite comes from my daddy. It is: A monkey does not holler until you pull its tail.

Parents provide the best wisdom !
Hard heads make soft behinds/those who don't hear will feel. My dad used to tell me that every time I was about to get a spanking, lol.
