To listen or Not listen

Prov. 23:12 "Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge."

"Oh great! Here she goes again , Yelling on and on about the same little thing" said Sally.

Sally was a girl about 11 yeas old , who always complained in her head about how much she hated to hear her mothers lectures. Poor sally didn't understand that those lectures were the words of wisdom that would guide her through life .

Anyways , where was I ? aah...

SALLY HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO NOT CALL YOUR BROTHER NAMES ! We go over this all of the time Sally, treat others the way you want to be treated. Sally I really don't want to tell you this again , so please honor your mother and show the character...

"O brother" said Sally as she walked out of the house after her lecture. She was walking towards her friend Sam and they were walking towards the park. "Why must she always give me a lecture on everything I do all I did was call him a simple name. Jimmy never gets blamed for anything, just because he is a baby doesn't mean he shouldn't get in trouble yet. I don't even care if the only word that he knows is mama.

"Sally,you really should understand that one of the reason that your mother lectures you is because the lord gave her wisdom to pass on to you so that you wont fall in to the way of fools and so that you can become a better christian in your walk with the lord. Your Mother doesn't lecture you for any other reason but because she loves you. So instead of always tuning her out you should listen to her every word and apply it to your life.

"Wow , Sam you are totally right I never thought about it like that ."

"Thanks"

"And just for encouragement here is a verse you can recite to yourself when you get discouraged. Proverbs 23:12" Apply your heart to instruction and you ears to words of knowledge.

"Now lets go swing!"

The End

I created this story due to the fact that all of the the time

I don't like to listen my Moms lectures , but when I read this verse I realized that it is wisdom she is giving me and that what my Mom says is important and I should respect and listen to what she tells me.

I hope this encourages you . Have a blessed week. Your friend, Tory
