Remember

 S ~ Then some of the wise old men stood and spoke to all the people assembled there. They said, “Remember..."  Jeremiah 26:17-18

O ~ In the midst of a trial, with the mob wanting to execute Jerry for his message, the old fellas are able to bring some perspective from the past, to bear on the present. There is nothing new under the sun, said Solomon. These men had 'been here before' and knew the way through. 

A ~ It's so important to listen to wise, old people. Sometimes people can just be old, and crotchety. Yet there are wise people who have lived life and ended up with no strength in their limbs, but strength in their wisdom. We need that kind of strength today.  Even in the midst of Corona, it's not just listening to the young guns, or the pop stars, or the politicians - it would serve us well to listen to wise old people who have lived through sickness, the Great Depression, war, economic boom and bust, life and death.

P ~ Lord, thank you for Dorothy Servage - and I pray as I spend time with her, that I would learn the lessons she has to share, that I would gain wisdom - even through the dementia.  God bless Dorothy, Doris and Ruth.
