“My child, listen to me and take my advice. Put Wisdom’s chains around your feet and her yoke around your neck. Carry her on your shoulder and don’t be resentful on her bonds. Follow Wisdom, and keep to her ways with all your heart. Go looking for her, and she will reveal herself to you. Take hold of her and don’t let go. Then you will discover the peace of mind she offers, and she will become your joy.” Sirach 6.24-28
It is encouraging to know that, as long as we are always trying to live our life to the best of our abilities, we will succeed…
Choosing to do what is right may at first feel like a heavy yoke or a bond.
Just realise that it is not about having all the answers ready.
It is about asking the right questions.
Don’t give up and don’t let go…
Keep on hoping and know that your search will one day lead you to peace of mind.
And in the midst of it all, you will find real joy!
So walk down this mountain
With your heart held high
Follow in the footsteps of your maker
With this love that’s gone before you
And these people at your side
If you offer up your broken cup
You will taste the meaning of this life
Bebo Norman, Walk down this mountain
