Grandparents

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of a son is his father.

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is attained along the path of righteousness.

One generation will commend Your works to the next, and will proclaim Your mighty acts—

Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is passed to the righteous.

I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.

But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—

Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.

I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.
