My parents have been deceased for many years; what I would give today to have a little more of their wisdom! It's interesting how shallow we are when we're young. When I look back on my parents lives, in retrospect, I can compare it to that of the great artists of the world. Their talents are never really appreciated until long after they are gone and then their work becomes priceless!
It's important to listen to the wisdom of others who have traveled farther down the road. The view from where they are standing allows them to see a clearly marked path and their vision can assist us in a more successful and productive life. There is one more, however, that I would pass on to my children, "If you put God first, you will never be last!" By Linda Sumner Urza, One fine day.
