Wisdom of the Aged

Posted in musings

We had such a great time helping with the Senior Saints in the Smokies.  If you don't know what that entails, visit this post from last year.  Here is a picture from this year of Charlie and another teen helper unloading a small church bus.

 

We love talking with the older folks...they have so much wisdom and are such a delight to be around. Of course, one of the first things they ask the boys are "where do you go to school?"  Most of the time we are met with the response of "that's great!".

But this one lady caught me off guard. She must have been in her late 70's or early 80's. When I answered that we home school, she replied, "So did I!" and to my astonishment she also said

"The Lord created families....man made schools" I love that remark. The wisdom of the aged.  Keep them home where they belong!

Glad you had a great week(s). That's amazing that the lady was homeschooled! I hope I can be an old person like that--mostly sane : ) , nice, and thankful. I know too many who are not. Cleanse all of that out of me now, Lord, so that when I'm old I'm not crabby! : )

My Purpose

“My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Col. 2:2,3)
