Reading for February 23rd

Read Proverbs 28.15-28. In verse 24: Children lived in their parents' home until they married, and even after marriage could remain under the parental roof. If the parents grew feeble, the children might become domineering and gradully take over the house and its wealth. The saying declares such userpation to constitute simple theft. The children have no more right to their parents' property while the latter are living than a brigand does who is from outside the family. Comments or Questions..
