Honor Cultivated through the Years
My dear son,
A person's beauty does not disappear as the years turn their hair gray. Love and honesty faithfully kept have a deep radiance. I hope you learn to regard that kind of life with respect.
Treasure gray hair gained on a righteous road like an honorable crown. Today's small faithfulness can leave a beautiful mark when it continues through the years. What I desire for you is an enduringly tender and truthful heart, beyond a moment of standing out.
Tell me this evening about an older person you would like to resemble. Share the love you hope to carry into your own tomorrow. As each year adds to your life, your Father watches with affection and encouragement.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 16:31
