A Father's Instruction

Proverbs 4:1-9 NASB Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding.
For I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.
When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother.
Then he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; Keep my commandments and live;
Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
"Do not forsake her, and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you.
"The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding.
"Prize her, and she will exult you; She will honor you if you embrace her.
"She will place on your head a garland of grace; She will present you with a crown of beauty."

A Costly Pearl
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,
and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
A Dragnet

and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.
