Proverbs are pithy maxims; many of which are similes or comparisons, and are delivered in metaphors and allegories. Solomon and Jesus used this venue of communication to teach… Why?

In America, today is the day we call Thanksgiving and on this day because of the name mostly, we will spend a moment or two reflecting on life’s journey… and the blessings we have received.
