*First Off*: WELCOME to His Newest Mona Girl Blog Family Members.....from Greece, Serbia and Colombia!! Thank You Lord for continuing to Grow & Fuel & LOVE On Us!! WELCOME Loves!!
Now My Family..........Today Holy Spirit's featuring a Word from our friend Madisyn Taylor and it's a God Word about the Elderly. Our seasoned Brothers & Sisters who carry.....who are filled to overflowing with Much Much Knowledge. Their Souls are ripe with Divine and Practical Wisdom. Their words are sprinkled with Wonderful Life Moments and Pure Thoughts of Revelation and Truth. Our Elderly Saints are Gems. They are Treasures to behold in our lives!
I was Blessed to spend 3 glorious years with an Amazing Woman who was Truly God's Magnificent Gem on this Earth. Her name was Margherita and she was my neighbor. From our first meeting, I knew she was special. Her fiery passion for life along with her absolute stunning beauty (she was 1/2 Cuban and 1/2 Italian) drew me to her immediately. She had a unique way with words that would take you from a deep belly laugh to just wrecking your soul......ALL in the Same Sentence!!
Margherita Firpo (you should have heard her roll her R's) was full of Life and Energy! When she entered a room, her presence was felt by all. At God's Mighty direction and guidance, our friendship grew from a casual "Hello" in the hallway; to me going shopping with her at our Fave Trader Joe's in Chelsea; to Saturday afternoon carry outs of our Fave homemade soups from the corner bodega; to going out to dinner at our Fave Italian restaurant; to her heading uptown with me to Harlem for Sunday Church Service; to nights chill-laxin with a glass (or 2) of wine in her apartment looking at her incredible photo albums; to watching Macy's July 4th Fireworks from our Building's Rooftop; to me taking her to all her Doctor appointments and being her caregiver; to me Praying with her and leading her to Christ; to me being with her as she departed this earth for Heavens Glory.
95 years of Above and Beyond Stories and Life Adventures all wrapped up in my Beautiful Angel Margherita! I Thank the Lord Every Day that He Blessed me with such a Living Treasure. That He Blessed me with 3 years of Priceless Memories that will be in my heart and soul forever!! That He Blessed me with a Divine Angel who is now in Heaven watching over me!
So Loves, as you read this God Word thru Madisyn, think about the Elderly Saints in your life who you can connect with. Bond with. Learn from. Their Wisdom and Knowledge and just Time Spent in their Presence will bless you with Priceless Life Moments you'll Treasure forever!
I LOVE YOU MARGHERITA! THANK YOU FOR TOUCHING MY SOUL WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEART!! 💓💓😇
The Elderly Population: Embracing the Disinherited
by Madisyn Taylor
Our elderly population are our mentors and wise folk that came before us and paved the way for our future.
In tribal cultures, the elderly play an important role. They are the keepers of the tribe's memories and the holders of wisdom. As such, the elderly are honored and respected members of tribes. In many modern cultures, however, this is often not the case. Many elderly people say that they feel ignored, left out, and disrespected. This is a sad commentary on modernization, but it doesn't have to be this way. We can change this situation by taking the time to examine our attitudes about the elderly and taking action.
Modern societies tend to be obsessed with the ideas of newness, youth, and progress. Scientific studies tell us how to do everything from the way we should raise our kids to what we need to eat for breakfast. As a result, the wisdom that is passed down from older generations is often disregarded. Of course, grandparents and retired persons have more than information to offer the world. Their maturity and experience allows for a larger perspective of life, and we can learn a lot from talking to elderly people. It's a shame that society doesn't do more to allow our older population to continue to feel productive for the rest of their lives, but you can help to make change. Perhaps you could help facilitate a mentorship program that would allow children to be tutored by the elderly in retirement homes. The elderly make wonderful storytellers, and creating programs where they could share their real life experiences with others is another way to educate and inspire other generations.
Take stock of your relationships with the elderly population. Maybe you don't really listen to them because you hold the belief that their time has passed and they are too old to understand what you are going through. You may even realize that you don't have any relationships with older people. Try to understand why and how our cultural perception of the elderly influences the way you perceive them. Look around you and reach out to someone who is elderly even if you are just saying hello and making small talk. Resolve to be more aware of the elderly. They are our mentors, wise folk, and the pioneers that came before us and paved the way for our future.
Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!
