Time is money, a proverb, finding it's origins in an essay by Benjamin Frankland 'Advice to a Young Tradesman" On Americas 250th birthday I find this Ironic. Another proverb is Time is more valuable than Money meaning you can get more money, but you will never get more time. Prophetic Donald!!!!!
Proverbs 17:27 NIV
The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint,
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
Proverbs 8:4
Unto you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man. (KJV)

PROVERBS 6 and ..Election Fever.
12 Someone who struts around taking advantage of unsuspecting souls
and deceiving others is to be avoided.
13 With a wink of his eye, a quick shuffle of his feet,
and a slight gesture with his hand, he signals his roguish treachery.
14 With a warped mind and twisted heart, he constantly looks for his own gain at others’ expense,
causing friction everywhere he goes.
15 But you watch: his actions will bring sudden disaster!
In an instant, his life will be shattered,
and there will be nothing to save him.
16 Take note, there are six things the Eternal hates;
no, make it seven He abhors:
17 Eyes that look down on others, a tongue that can’t be trusted,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that conceives evil plans,
feet that sprint toward evil,
19 A false witness who breathes out lies,
and anyone who stirs up trouble among the faithful.
Proverbs 12:16
A fools wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. (KJV)

Proverbs 11:24 NIV
One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
Proverbs 31. Equal in worth. Quite the opposite in strengths & weaknesses.
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.
11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night.
19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
for everyone has warm[c] clothes.
22 She makes her own bedspreads.
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
where he sits with the other civic leaders.
24 She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself ... (KJV)

Proverbs 11:25 The Message (MSG)
The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.
I do not worship matter, I worship the God of matter, who became matter for my sake and deigned to inhabit matter, who worked out my salvation through matter. I will not cease from honoring that matter which works for my salvation. I venerate it, though not as God.” - John Damascus (AD 675-753)

Rob and I have been getting a lot of marital advice lately. More than we even ask for but we are both thankful for the guidance and direction from those much older and wiser than we are.
This little book was a gift from my friend Cherise. In it, are notes for marriage backed-up by scripture.
This is one of our favourites. Its funny but has a great message :)
"Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred." -New International Version.
"A bowl of soup with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate." -
New Living Translation.
Taken for ODC: Note
"Let your eyes look directly ahead, and let your gaze be straight in front of you. Make straight the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established."
Proverbs 4: 25-26
