Read Proverbs 22:28  The key phrase in our verse for today is ancient landmarks.  You probably know what ancient means, but what do you think a landmark is?  A landmark is something that helps you remember the place where something important happened.  Most of the time a landmark is marking the spot where something important happened long, long ago.  Often you will see big markers that tell about a pioneer who used to live on that particular spot many years ago.  If you follow Memorial Drive (Highway 31) all the way down to where it goes into interstate 65, you will see a landmark dedicated to Casper Mansker.  Casper Mansker was a long hunter who was the first white man to come into the Nashville area.  He used to live in Virginia, one of the thirteen original colonies.  After moving over the mountains into the Tennessee area, he went hunting into the Cumberland River area, which is now called Nashville.  Casper Mansker would take his gun, some horses and supplies, and go out hunting for long periods of time.  He would return with his pack horses piled high with the skins from the animals that he had shot.  He would trade the skins for supplies like gunpowder and food.  Casper Mansker soon learned the wilderness country as well as the Indians who lived there.  It is good to remember the brave men, like Casper Mansker, who explored our country.  We remember them by setting up landmarks.  We also need to remember the times long ago when God blessed us and did special things for us and our families.  These are the landmarks that Solomon is talking about in our verse.  Can you think of special blessings in your family that you should remember as landmarks?  I remember the day when each of my grandchildren came into our family.  Those were wonderful days and great landmarks that I like to remember!
