On a previous Saturday morning, I was a guest on Elliot Simon's "Common Sense" radio broadcast from Shepherd University, and also had accepted his invitation to join him that morning for a tasty breakfast at the famous Shepherdstown "Betty's" restaurant.
And so it was, earlier that morning and while walking through the West Virginia village of Shepherdstown, that an elderly couple crossed my path.
They were holding hands while they were taking their morning stroll, which prompted me to compliment them on their mutual affection.
With a twinkle in his eye, the old gentleman smiled, then gently pointed out to me that they held hands to keep each other from stumbling (see the Bible, Old Testament, Book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 4, Verse 10).
What a wondrous example they were and are, and a life lesson for all of us, in all our activities and relationships.
Please share this post with others, asking them to also go and do likewise.
Meanwhile, and for sure and for certain, may God bless you all real good!
