As a Pretty Necklace

 My child, 

obey the teachings of your parents,

 and wear their teachings

 as you would a lovely hat

 or a pretty necklace.

Proverbs 1:8-9 CEV

I think it's interesting that the Bible includes mentions of everyday, mundane things like hats and necklaces.  Who knew that they even had hats back then...what kind?  

I'm glad that the Bible speaks in things I understand (as well as in mysteries that I don't understand.)  I can relate.

(I sold this necklace in my last sale two weekends ago.  Last week's craft show got rained out and I have another this week (the last planned one this year.)  I enjoy making jewelry and am grateful to be able to sell a few pieces.)
