Reading – Proverbs 16:31, 20:29

Highlight Verse:

“Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by living a godly life.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Tonight’s study comes to you from a late-night hotel indoor pool room. A bunch of kids are playing up a storm while one of mine relaxes in the hot tub. I’m at a table in the corner trying to not get splashed while I write on the iPad.

Why are we here?

We are spending a little time with my father-in-law this weekend.

The older I get, the more I realize how much there is to learn from him.

I wish I had listened to him more when he was younger. Physical limitations make it more difficult to understand him now.

But I know there is still a ton I could learn from him.

I wish I had learned more from my dad, who has been gone for 24 years now, and my mom, now gone for 4 years.

I will do my best to glean what wisdom and knowledge I can from my wife’s dad.
I know none of my parents were/are perfect. I’m not either.

But there’s always something more I can learn.

Are your parents still around?
Have you listened to them lately?
