The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 1259

Good morning everyone and welcome. I was reading an article yesterday by Garreth O'Callaghan and in it he wrote "treat our elders with the respect they deserve". I have often heard it said when I was a child also. In ancient civilisations and also in West Limerick sixty years ago the word "elder" held huge respect. It meant leader, chief, teacher, wise one. What has happened our modern society as it seems to have forgotten these great people. Are they now seen as a burden on society and I mean all members of society. There are circumstances in families where it is unavoidable and family members are unable to care for their elderly loved ones. It is very understandable but in many cases people just can't be bothered and cop out in epic moral preparations. Greed and selfishness wear many disguises but happy is the heart that behaves honourably. Let us all pray today for our elders and give them the restect they deserve and continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace, hope and love to all and wear your Sunday best smile.
