The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Proverbs 25:25-28, “Like cold water to a weary soul, so is good news from a distant land.
26 Like a trampled spring and a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory.
28 Like a city that is broken into and without walls is a man who has no control over his spirit.”

If you’ve ever gone for a considerable hike and forgotten to take water, you understand clearly what “cold water (is) to a weary soul.” Yet, the discovery that the water has suffered pollution by an earlier traveler will teach you all the more how important it is to live so that others may enjoy life, also.

And if you’ve travelled alone to a far-away place and been there for some time, you understands what joy it is to receive good news from home! Still, too much of anything –even a good thing—is tiriing.

You know more about yourself than anyone, except your mother. Still, it is wearying to others when you continue to recount all the people that you know and the places where you’ve been. Get control of yourself! Remember that you’re not as important as you think –even to your best friends,. Get control of yourself! Share the joys you’ve discovered in the LORD Jesus Christ. You will be blest, and so will your friends.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
