Honor Thy Father and Mother

Honor Thy Father and Mother

      The Bible tells us to Honor our parents--this can be a difficult task at times, but one that need be attained none-the-less.  The lack of respect and subsequent appreciation for the Elder and Wiser Citizens of our Society is one of the festering issues of sickness within our society.

     The knowledge to be shared, attained, and blessed upon us the younger generation, from a conversation with many of the elderly is passed upon by the young and foolish of today. The advice they seek to share and often do, is sadly not heeded nor retained.

     Even sadder are the facts they are not thanked for sharing it, nor are they sought for counsel into the future. The lessons to be learned vicariously and potential pitfalls avoided, are often experienced and thus become many a fools undoing--merely because time was not spent with the Older and Wiser people in their lives.
