Some of the greatest treasures in life do not carry a price tag. I recently sat on my mom's bed, stroking her feet while she opened her memory bank of many years.
I am always amazed when I leave, hearing some words of wisdom that I never heard before. How precious is it when we take the time to hear those time tested values from the ones we love the most.
A friend recently shared with me of her weekly trips to her parents home after a tedious week at the office. Her trip takes her away from the city to her parents farm. I don't know where she gets the strength, but it amazes me of her dedication. She sits under a tree at the farm talking with her parents and laughing about little things. She brings more than she could ever imagine to the the people she cherishes the most.
What matters in life, is gleaning from parents, mentors, spiritual leaders, and those people who carry the treasure chest of wisdom from their experiences. The people who care, and love you.
1 Cor. 4:15 "For even if you had ten thousand others to teach you about Christ, you have only one spiritual father. For I became your father in Christ Jesus when I preached the Good News to you". HONOR YOUR PARENTS, RESPECT THE ELDERLY.

Beautiful message that makes all think about how important parents are and their words of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteParents are a great gift from God to us. We don´t have the opportunity to chose them nor they chose us, but God in His infinite wisdom knows exactly what is best for each one of us. I hear many people say, "I have the best father/mother in the whole wide world", but reality is that beyond our earthly parents is the One and Only who should receive the title of "Best Father in this whole wide world". For it is written in Psalm 27:10 My father and mother may abandon me,but the Lord will take care of me. Thank you for the word!
