HONOR PARENTS

by Jeremy Burkes

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Parents are a gift from God. We are to honor our parents regardless of whether they are really good parents or not. We are to still treat them with respect.
Paul wrote -

Eph 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Parents deserve respect because they gave us life. If you are blessed enough to still have your parents you should make sure to devote some time to them. Give them a call just to say you love them. Make a special effort to spend holidays with them and sometimes just visit with them. Let them know you love them.

Thank God, your Heavenly Father, for giving you your parents and tell Him how much you love Him too.
