Our elderly deserve to be treated with love and respect, that is how I was brought up. Even thou times have changed and values apparently changed too, the Word of God remains the same. In it we can find scriptures that express God's love for the elderly, encouraging the younger generations to give honor to whom honors is due, like it says on Romans 13:7. The following are some of the Scriptures I found and below the list is the web site I found them on. I hope what you are about to read warms your heart, gives you hope and motivate you to spread the love with our parents, grandparents, our heroes, those who worked hard and deserve to be honored. If you are one of them this is for you as a token of our appreciating for all of what you have done for our present generation. We honor you.
