Did you know that....

Two very different people!  One represents youth and the other age.  Each has its positive and negative aspects; strength and vitality compared to experience and wisdom.  As today is national grandparents day, it seemed appropriate to mention the benefits of growing older...

Job 12:12 (WEB)
12) With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.

Psalms 119:97-100 (WEB)
97) How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.
98) Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for your commandments are always with me.
99) I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.
100) I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.

If you are old, your body will tell you.  I don't need to describe it because I am endeavoring to make this a positive blog post.  However, there are some blessings that accompany age.  First, you have gotten this far; how many people never go beyond middle age?  Second, you have lived!  Third, perhaps, just perhaps, you may have learned a few things beyond your educational experience (read the quote from the book of Job above).  And if you are aged AND a Christian, then undoubtedly you have been exposed to even more truth and may even understand more of what life is about (see the quote from the Psalms, above).

Beyond these things, life is good for both the young and the aged, because if we just sit down and talk to one another, we can learn a great deal.  Perhaps the young man in the picture can learn what the older woman did to rebel when she was his age and maybe she can find out what it feels like to have a Mohawk haircut.  Who knows, may we all can learn something from each other!!!  How much more could we learn if we listen to what God has told us in the Bible!!!
