I can hear the words of my mother to me, The Bible says, that “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold”. KJV, she always read the King James Version. As I reflect on Proverbs 22:1, I am so grateful and full of joy.

On yesterday, I said goodbye to a place that had been a part of my life for the past two years. As I looked down at my watch, I heard the fifteen minute to closing, the ten, five, and we are closed. I sighed with relief, then the reality came to me, well, Trudy this is it. I continued to fold and straighten. As I looked up my manager approached me. His words to me, “I want to thank you for all you’ve done, your attitude has been awesomely off the charts. I still remember the day I saw you shopping, and thanked you for being a customer. I really hate to see you leave. I wish you the best. Please come by and keep in touch. Don’t forget the holidays if you want to earn some extra cash.” I said thank you for the opportunity, and I will keep in touch. My eyes welled up because I could once again hear the words of my mother reading the Bible to me, “Listen to this now, “Proverbs 22:1, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold”.
