Day 111- Birthday Wisdom for 2011

For my birthday I asked friends on Facebook to leave a comment with some wisdom they wish someone had given them when they were 25. The Bible says to hunger for wisdom, that's where the idea came from. Thank you all for contributing! I had a lot of fun reading your gold nuggets!

Charles G. Davis: Pray a lot!

Rhonda Benz: Dance like nobody is watching babe, because life is so short

Kim Anderson: What we do for ourselves EVERYDAY makes a difference for who we will be physically and spiritually on our birthdays!

Glenda DeVore Vanourny: Love your baby girl like there is no tomorrow. Don't spend a lot of time dwelling on things you can't change. Be quick to repent and quicker to forgive. Always keep the Lord as your first LOVE.

Melissa Tribur: Save your money!

Cheryl Thompson: Invest yourself in the things that last forever, the word of God and the souls of people. And save some money. You need to provide for your financial future by being a habitual saver. It adds up...and it's biblical to be prudent in that way.

Michele Whitlock: When I was 25 I was "lookin' for love in all the wrong places..." as the old song goes. I wish someone had told me that a relationship with another human being doesn't fill the God-sized hole in my life.

Ben Gulbrandsen: Excercise and drink water.

Jerod Cannon: Store your treasures in Heaven

Cathy Walker: It's not what you have that counts. It's what you do with what you've got.

Sheridan Emery: If you grow in the Lord the next 25 as you have your first 25 - you'll certainly BE BLESSED by God with MUCH Wisdom! Just keep your eyes on Him - Always.

Teresa Loop Taylor: Enjoy each day and don't take things too seriously. Life is short, celebrate it!

Julie Ann Stevens Parsons:

Plan for the future, but enjoy where you are as much as possible.......Keep your weight in check and exercise, but try not to obsess over it....... Choose your life's partner wisely........ Work hard at what you love and learn as much as you can about it...........PRAY.........Think for yourself.........Believe in yourself, but get help when you need it. It's okay to admit you don't know.........Be careful who you trust........Cherish good friends. Listen more than you talk........ Laugh!......

Take care of your skin. ENJOY YOUR YOUTH!!! Wear cute clothes and shoes. I know that's frivolous, but I miss a lot of things from my youth. (I'm overweight, have had cancer, and now have a broken ankle)........Work hard and feel good about your achievements..........Have the courage, faith, and determination to accomplish what you strive toward.......Be careful about medicines you take. Side effects are often unknown.

Jelsomin Covelli-Grindle: If you have a dream, it's usually put there by God, so be looking to build toward fulfilling that dream.♥

Anonymous: Love your future husband A LOT, and DO your future husband, A LOT. Whatever makes you a whole person, go for it and do it fully.
