Don't you just enjoy being around those who exhibit wisdom. The aroma of wisdom is a comforting place to be. I know you will concur with this assessment, that your dad which I have had the priveledge to be around quite a bit the last few months, is one of those people you can trust to not make a snap judgement about anything or anyone, but to carefully think through a situation and draw upon his life experiences before suggesting a solution or a plan for dealing with a situation. It is just pleasant to be around those who have chosen wisdom. Thank you Mike for sharing your gift of wisdom with those you encounter on this journey. I want to seek wisdom. I want to end with an excerpt from Andy's book. "A wise man will cultivate a servant's spirit, for that particular attribute attracts people like no other. As I humbly serve others, their wisdom will be freely shared with me. He who serves the most grows the fastest. I will become a humble servant. I will look to open the door for someone. I will be excited when I am available to help. I will be a servant to others. I will listen to the counsel of wise men. I will choose my friends with care. I will seek wisdom." May we all seek wisdom so that when others are around us they will so appreciate the aroma and spirit of wisdom that they too would desire to emit the aroma of wisdom.
