Young and Old, maybe?
When All The Colour Has Drained Out of Life …
Genesis 32:26
Then he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.”
.
Matthew 19:13a
Then little children were being brought to him in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
Youthful Jacob is able to demand a blessing from the angel he’s struggled against all night. Got a lame hip for it
and
a blessing in the end.
Jesus distributes blessings to the children freely, widely, readily.
…
but
is there a blessing for the old people.
Some cultures revere their older people.
Some respect them.
Ours ignores them.
…
Maybe there’s a blessing in that, too.
