I was on a retreat with the young adults of our church a couple years ago. I’m 70, but I walked up to where they were going to be starting a fire for everyone to gather round.

The young adults were trying to start their fire. Apparently, they had been working on it for over an hour. They sent someone to get a tank of gasoline.

I calmly went over, took some tinder and kindling and had a nice teepee fire going in about 2 minutes. I added wood to it and had a roaring blaze going before they returned with their gasoline.

Sometimes we older folks have to teach the younguns how to do things. Isn’t that what wisdom from years of experience teaches us, just as we were taught by our elders?
