When your parents give you advice, do you pay attention and welcome
their suggestions, or do you turn a deaf ear and scoff at their ideas?
Have you ever stopped to consider that they may have already expe
rienced what you are going through and could be offering sound advice?
With age often comes wisdom. Those who choose to live wisely must
realize the value of listening to their parents.
If they don’t practice this truth, they will com
mit the same mistakes their parents did
and pay the price.
The eye that mocketh at his father,
and aespiseth to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley shall pick
it out, and the young eagles snail
eat it. Proverbs 30:17 (KJV)
