Offsite Insight - "Learning From Our Elders"

On June 8th we went to Englewood Estates Retirement Home and sat outside to discuss the value of listening to and learning from our elders. The value that they provide us, having traveled the road of life before us, is invaluable. As a bonus, we got to hear from a guest speaker - my Mom!!! She had some great insights about today's music, about what the elderly feel about us young people (What? What did I say?), and what advice she would give to young people today. Her advice? Read Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." Good advice, huh? Now you see where I get it... :-) Thanks, Mom!!! [and thanks, Parker, for leading us in a worship song beforehand!]
