Grandma Said, God Said

The proverbs we grew up on, and the Bible verses behind them.

“Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.”PROVERBS 1:8

Long before many of us read Proverbs, we heard proverbs: from Grandma on the porch, from an auntie in the kitchen, from a neighbor at the market. A lot of them say exactly what the Bible says. Read the proverb, then pick the Bible verse that means the same thing. Then ask the elders in your family which ones they used to say. 👵🏾💛

What proverb did your grandmother, grandfather or parents always say? Send this to the family chat and collect them before they’re forgotten.

Kreyòl and Patois spellings vary from family to family. Know a better spelling or meaning? We’d love to hear it.
