honor and harmony. [135]

honor your parents that it may go well with you.
what does it mean to honor my parents? how do i honor them?
our parents do want the best for us. but our best and their best can differ greatly. so how do we honor our parents and still make our own choices?
throughout the Bible, we are continually reminded to honor our parents.
children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. honor your father and mothers. if you honor your father and mother, things will go well for you and you will have a long life on earth.
maybe we shouldn't shun our parent's advice. maybe we should listen to what they have to say instead of automatically assuming they have no idea what are going through. we do need to keep in mind that are not perfect either.
always be humble and gentle. be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. make every effort to keep yourselves together with peace.
we show respect and honor toward our parents by being patient with them and understanding they are just like us and don't necessarily have it all figured out.
yeah, sometimes, our parents won't get us. but we should still respect them and listen to them. if we did, we would be surprised at their wisdom.
to honor our parents is to honor Christ.
