"I love them more than I love myself."

Over on Facebook, a friend just wrote  the comment, about her boys - " I love them more than I love myself."   

It would be so wondrous if we could feel the same about our aged family.  

Parents are given a special love to lift them above the arduous parts of raising children, but there's no similar naturally instilled love & protection of the elderly.  Where our creator instills love of offspring in parents, care of the elderly is ordered by divine fiat.  

If you have elderly in your care or within your circle, think about my friend's comment about her children, then ponder feeling a similar sense when it comes to your aging loved ones. 

Honour thy father & thy mother
that thy days may be long 
upon the land which the
LORD thy God 
giveth 
thee
