A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. Proverbs 10:1
Listen to your father who gave you life and do not despise your mother when she is old. Proverbs 23:22
The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him. May your father and mother be glad, may she who gave you birth rejoice. Proverbs 23:24, 25
. . . a child left to himself disgraces his mother. Proverbs 29:15b
A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, . .. Proverbs 29:3a
Pray for your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will learn to obey at an early age. They along with their parents will have a calmer and happier environment in their home. Learning to be obedient to their parents and those in authority over them, such as their teachers in school, will result in a better life, a life with promise.
