That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
- Titus 2:2 (KJV)
Through my adventures in the adult world, I have met many old men.
Most of them have an incredible story and they don’t mind telling it.
I did not know any of my grandfathers, so hearing these men tell their stories has always been interesting to me.
Some men left home as teen-agers and traveled the railroad.
Some joined the military and grew up fighting wars.
Some stayed home and worked the family business.
Some went to college and became great leaders that we know today.
The greatest men are the men that are worthy of respect, having lived a life that reflects God.
I am blessed to have men in my life that embodied this verse, my father-in-law and grandfather-in-law are at the top of that list.
We can learn a lot from old men, let’s take time to listen.
