Caring For The Elderly

Contributed by Leo Samuel D G on Sep 15, 2017

Caring for elders is not easy. But taking care of old age parents is a sweet experience because no other human has loved us like they did. God wants us to love and take care of them irrespective of whether or not they ‘deserve’ it.

But have we ...read more
