Wisdom of the Older
"Wisdom is with aged men, and with length of days, understanding."Job 12:12
Reflection
Whoever lived longer has already seen things you are still going to see. Asking older people saves years of mistakes.
Prayer
God, teach me to value whoever lived longer. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why do older people have wisdom?
- What could you ask a grandparent?
- What mistake could you avoid by listening?
5-minute activity
Call or visit an older relative or friend and ask: "What is the best advice you ever got?" Write it down and share it at dinner. Read Job 12:12.
