Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

a little bird told me

There are some little sayings that we say often and might not realize that the original idea came from the the Bible.  I've come across some of them as I read the Bible. 

 "a little bird told me"
Ecclesiastes 10:20
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought, and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber:
for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
✝     ✝     ✝     ✝

"laughter is the best medicine"
Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
 ✝     ✝     ✝     ✝
 "I am sick at heart"
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick;
but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
✝     ✝     ✝     ✝
"saved by the skin of my teeth"
Job 19:20
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
✝     ✝     ✝     ✝
These are just a few.  I'm sure there are many, many more.  Do you know any?

A blessed Sunday to you my friends.
God Loves You.
