Welcome to the forum, Debbie!
 
Thank you for the long list of things we want to learn. Some of them I have learned, but I don't think I can tackle the whole list all at once! There's a lot of wisdom to be found; some things we each have to discover for ourselves. I think your list could provide many of us with New Year's resolutions!
 
I hope you will visit often and share with us more of your wisdom and experience!
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

I really like that poem! They read it at my cousin's
high school graduation. Very inspirational!

and integrity, they think of you. 

I really hope this is true for us all.....

Love goes.... and changes sometimes. A bit like a caterpiller that changes into a moth or a butterfly....
 
 
That although I've lost my country legs, my spirit is still in the country....
 
 
That time heals....
 
 
love and light

The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:


"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
