How You Can Help the Elderly

▪ Preserve Their Dignity. “Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but be appealing to him as a father, . . . [to] older women as mothers.”​  Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament of the Holy Bible.

▪ Listen Carefully. “Be swift about hearing, slow about speaking, slow about wrath.”​

▪ Show Empathy. “All of you be like-minded, showing fellow feeling, having brotherly affection, tenderly compassionate, humble in mind, not paying back injury for injury or reviling for reviling.”​

▪ Discern When Encouragement Is Needed. “As apples of gold in silver carvings is a word spoken at the right time for it.”​

▪ Include Them in Your Activities. “Follow the course of hospitality.”​

“By caring for the elderly, we show respect for God’s own standards because his Word states: “You must show consideration for the person of an old man [or old woman].”

▪ Offer Practical Assistance.   

▪ Be Long-Suffering.
