A Real Friend – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1832 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget. Today’s quote is from Wisdom-Trek, and it is, “A real friend is a person who, when you’ve made a fool of yourself, lets you forget it.”

A Real Friend

Do you have a friend that is so close to you that no matter how simple or foolish you are, they can laugh with you but never makes an issue of it? They will rarely mention it again and let it fade from your memory. Granny is that friend for me. No matter if I make a fool of myself, she never brings it up in a negative manner. Now there are times when we will laugh with each other for some of the simple and foolish things we do in life. And, I admit it does allow times for a lot of laughing in our relationship. That is an essential ingredient for a strong marriage or any close friendship. Life is too short not to forgive and forget so that you can live a rich and satisfying life. So the next time a spouse or friend makes a fool of themselves, let them forget it and don’t bring it up. You would want the same thoughtfulness when you do foolish things also.

1 Peter 4:8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. John 13:34-35 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
