Respect The Elderly

Not enough of us respect our elders. Maybe it’s just the way
I was raised, or the fact that I am a parent now, and getting older
and trying to instill these values in my own children… but I am very
aware of it.

We were at a school function for the kids about a week ago, and there
was a disabled woman near the front door. She was leaning on a walker
and clearly was intimidated by the thought of navigating the crowds,
through a narrow area jammed with kids, so that she could get closer
to the stage and see everything.

My 4 year old son and I asked her if she would like a place to sit,
and when she gratefully accepted we grabbed a chair, parted the crowd
for her, and took her to the front.

It’s a little thing, bit in this big world it’s the little things
that matter:)

    Very true. One day we will be old- and good old karma may come into play!
