1. Accidents and medical emergencies in home happen frequently. Maybe more frequently than we realize.

Statistics show a fatal injury occurs every 18 minutes in homes across America and every 4 seconds a disabling injury could occur. Accidents occur from falls, fire, burns, choking and poisoning.

2. Every home should have at least one first Aid Kit that is well stocked and readily available.

First Aid Kits are used most often for minor injuries such as cuts, sunburns or bites. Having a well stocked First Aid Kit available can save someone's life in a serious accident.

3. A First Aid Kit won't be any good to you if you don't know how to use it.

Make sure you have a guide in your kit from a reliable source. It should have latest medical advice and be easy to understand, particularly under stress.

Wisdom can not be taught; it must be sought.

This is something that parents know well. Well, they should know. A child might learn things quickly. He might show brilliance at a very early age. He might have impeccable recall. He might master motor skills ahead of curve. He might be super knowledgeable because concerned and loving parents poured information into him. Nevertheless in spite of training, still a child might fail at life. Why? Because of this primary reason: Knowledge may be taught, but wisdom has to be caught.

What am I saying?

Wisdom is personified in Old Testament book of Proverbs. Wisdom like “The Word” in chapter one of John’s gospel is given personality. John says that The Word became “flesh” and walked on face of earth. “The Word” is Jesus Christ. Proverbs tells us that wisdom, because of its animated personality, is living and breathing like "The Word." Now you might ask: Could you be more specific, please? Yes, I can. Wisdom is a living attribute of God Himself; therefore, he or she who has God living inside has access to His wisdom. Which stands to reason that in order to have wisdom, a person must seek God through an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.

For those who might have trouble understanding abstract language, let me explain it like this. I can talk at length about beauty, but it means nothing to anyone unless I take beauty from abstract to one’s own sphere of reality. How would I do this? I would give beauty a personality. I would point to a beautiful person and say, “My friend that is beauty.” It does no good for me to explain nexus between knowledge and wisdom unless I bring it to one’s reality. So, that’s what I hope to do as I continue this writing.
