We as a society are wise to remember this. Collectively, we idolize youth. But wisdom is accumulated in the elderly, and it pains me to see the ways that society isolates people of different ages. The church is such a treasure, for it's one of the few places in society where we truly mix across generations, offering the wisdom of the elders to the young and the perspective of the young to the elders. May we look for these opportunities to mix, and may we listen to those of different generations, recognizing the wisdom and perspective others can bring.
