Generations

Just finished a weekend in Idaho with son and grandchildren and daughter-in-law. I can say it had some very pleasant times. Like most grandparents I dote on my grandchildren. It can be hard to bridge the generation gap immediately adjacent to my own, however.

I've heard it said that grandparents and grandchildren get along so well because they have a common enemy. Taken as a joke there's good humor in that. But there's also irony because of the larger dose of truth.

Today I must remember that in marriage a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife. I also recall instruction to honor one's father and mother.

today I pray for wisdom and humility.
