Day 11 - Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful face on an empty head.

Oh how priceless is The Message translation! haha! I love that proverb from the title.

Again, here is the good stuff but so many proverbs I can't really comment on all of them. A thought on a couple of them:

Generosity, what a powerful word. I just don't even know how to put this into words but I have learned and experienced generosity and it's awesome. It's hard sometimes because you may think that if you are generous people might take advantage of you or you may not have enough for yourself, but being generous is also an act of faith trusting that what those proverbs say below is true. I gotta think how I can be generous this week: with my time, with my knowledge, with my goods, with my ears, I gotta think but I have to do it!

The world of the generous gets larger and larger;
the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.
The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed;
those who help others are helped.
Proverbs 11 MSG
