Gray Hair Is a Crown of Glory

Proverbs 16:31

📜 THE VERSE

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by a life lived rightly.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Do I count aging only as loss, and never count what has been gathering?

📝Reflection

There was a season when I counted only the youth I was losing. Yet this ancient line calls gray hair a crown — not something lost but something earned. If each white strand holds a winter endured and a promise kept, it is no shame but a medal. Age comes on its own, but the grain that befits it remains only in the one who walked straight.

Today, find one grain that time has given someone older than you, and honor it — even if only in your heart.
