Practical Inspirational Insights On Caring For Your Elderly Parents
While Weaning Out Of Your Parental Role With Your Children

Alternately talking to each other and to the audience, Ruth and Dennis together tell stories from their own experiences with aging and dying parents, AND with parenting their teen and young adult sons, AND with enhancing their own marriage in the process.

These anecdotes illustrate the principles involved in each relationship. Then biblical quotations tie these principles into a three-fold package that reaches listeners with their minds, emotions and spirits. The Gibsons typically tell six or seven stories in an hour.

Here's one example:

Story: Dennis thanks his 70 year-old dad for a sweet memory from when Dennis was four.

Principle: Tell people their eulogies while they can hear them.

Scripture: Eph 6:2 Honor your father and mother. Acts 20:35 It is more blessed to give than to receive.
