The Sayings of Natalie The Wise

Just now at lunch, Natalie declares that something just 'came' to her.  Then she proceeds to recite words of wisdom as though memorized from the Bible (verse references and all).  This is what I was blessed by hearing:

Proverbs 20:11 - "Whatever your mom or dad gives you to eat, you should eat it all."

Proverbs 20:9 - "Whatever your sister does to you, you should still love her."

Proverbs 29:11 - "Whenever your mom and dad say that they want alone time, you should do your own fun thing." (My personal favorite).

Now, let's look up the actual verse reference and see if they are close to what she 'recited.'

Proverbs 20:11 - "Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right."

Proverbs 20:9  - "Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”?"

Proverbs 29:11 - "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."

Hmmm... All of these are really good too! However, one more verse comes to mind, Revelation 22:18 - "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book." Do Natalie's words of wisdom count as "adding" to God's words? :)

I love my girl and her sweet heart that is eager to praise God.  Can't wait to see what He will do in her life!
