Listen to your father who gave you life, and don't despise your mother when she is old. 

Buy - and do not sell - truth, wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

The father of a righteous son will rejoice greatly, and one who fathers a wise son will delight in him. 

Let your father and mother have joy, and let her who gave birth to you rejoice.

Proverbs 23:22-25 CSB

Can we Jesus here?

As you read this proverb listen for the relational dance that is happening...there's a picture here of mutual joy and rejoicing that comes from one another...in this is a glimpse of our God, triune, bringing mutual joy to one another. 

It's a picture of how relationships should be, and how they will be when all of the effect of sin is washed away, when all of the distortions and destructive things that damage and destroy are no more, and once again, we will get to walk with God in the cool of the evening and commune with him in this dance of delight.

Does that sound too good to be true?

Impossible?

Let's just call it heaven.
