growing in wisdom


if you watched 'charlie and the chocolate factory', you would probably remember this
- willy wonka having his semi annual haircut done by an oompa loompa when he realised..
"i need a heir[hair]"
holds up a strand of white hair


i'm in the same boat..
my brother just found 2 strands on my head the yesterday
and i blame this on my dad whose hair is rapidly greying too
heredity genes at work in full force



if white hair is merely a display of our genetic make up, why is it always associated with wisdom?
i know that the older folks have a tendency to have white hair but is age the only factor in the wisdom function?
maybe experiences and a great deal of thinking helps too..and if you are older, you probably have had more time for that:)
but there are plenty of very very wise people out there who have a crop of black hair
and other not so wise people whose hairs are turning greyish/white
why then do we assume a person's state of mental maturity based on a natural body characteristic?


anyway..i just learnt something new on sunday..
adding it to my bank of wisdom lessons
am i am amazed:)


your family is really the one who stands by you
especially during the times when the going gets tough
you realise who are the ones who truely care for and love you
but your family would willingly sacrifice for you
a comforting thought:)


and..
i also realised that agnes worries for us when we travel
at first..
that info was a bit too much for me to handle
i was like "huh? really? never expected that.."
but i decided later that it made sense
cos it just the same when she travels..my mom does the worrying though
i admit to be a little callous and 'heck-care' most of the time
but i do care for her ok..in case you are wondering :)


the bliss of having family
knowing that there is someone who is always thinking of you
and keeping you in prayer:)
