Sons, listen to ⌞your⌟ father’s discipline, and pay attention in order to gain understanding. After all, I have taught you well. Do not abandon my teachings. When I was a boy ⌞learning⌟ from my father, when I was a tender and only child of my mother, they used to teach me and say to me, “Cling to my words wholeheartedly. Obey my commands so that you may live. Acquire wisdom. Acquire understanding. Do not forget. Do not turn away from the words that I have spoken. Do not abandon wisdom, and it will watch over you. Love wisdom, and it will protect you. The beginning of wisdom is to acquire wisdom. Acquire understanding with all that you have. Cherish wisdom. It will raise you up. It will bring you honor when you embrace it. It will give you a graceful garland for your head. It will hand you a beautiful crown.”

This seven-day plan, based mainly on Proverbs, explores this subject as presented by Solomon.
Caring for aging adults is an honor and a privilege with challenges and opportunities. Ephesians 6:2 - 3 shares this: “Honor your father and mother – the first commandment with a promise – so that it may go well with you...” Some aspects of elder care bring great joy. Others are disorienting. This plan encourages you to lean into the Lord and embrace the time with those you love.
