Wisdom
Wonder is the beginning of wisdom....
To define wisdom it means knowledge, learning.
I always thought that only the elders could really know what wisdom is all about, 
Until I watched my 1 yr.old grand daughter learning to walk.
Her parents call her "The little wall-walker" as she holds on to everything 
as she moves around a room. If she lets go, then she falls, she at her 
early age has already learned "wisdom".
As a teenager I thought I knew everything. Or at least as much as my
parents did. Only through many mistakes, and trials did I gain that
knowledge, the steps to gaining "Wisdom".
Having Wisdom does not make you smarter or wiser, but rather it
is a feeling of compassion, empathy, humility and understanding.
Experiencing life, making mistakes, and learning through it all.
Growing in Wisdom means growing in love, tolerance, grace
and acceptance.

Proverbs 9- Wisdom and Stupidity

Wisdom-knowing and doing right- and common sense.
Wisdom is the ability to meet each situation with discernment
and good judgment, whether in dealing with others,
making choices, or dispensing justice.
Wisdom involves using the knowledge we have to
take the proper course of action- if we know and don't
act, it is the same as not knowing at all.
When we let Christ become the source of our wisdom, 
He will guide us in making wise decisions and acting on them.
