Friday!

Proverbs!

After the hay is harvested 

and the new crop appears 

and the mountain grasses are gathered in, your sheep will provide wool for clothing, 

and your goats will provide the price of a field. 

And you will have enough goats' milk 

for yourself, 

your family, 

and your servant girls.

Proverbs 27:25-27 NLT

Proverbs like this are sometimes weaponised and used to tell people to get to work (& work is a good thing). 

But what if this Proverb is an invitation into a pace of life, a rhythm, a flow, seasons. 

What if it's an invitation to see that there's enough for everyone?

Enough for those who are left til last, those with the least power? 

The writer of this proverb couldn't have imagined the complexities of our current world, or the way it's currently organised, but our hearts are the same. What is this proverb asking of us, of our hearts, asking us to consider just as the writer was asking something of the people it was written to 3000 years ago...

What is this Proverb asking us to step away from, or perhaps step towards?
