This past week I logged over 1,000 miles on the road - just not on the bike. It has been a week filled with ministry and a lot of travel helping my parents.
The Bible says “Honor your father and mother”, and it is the first command with promise. The question is: how to do that as we mature. At this stage of life it is no longer abiding by their rules, although when mom sets her foot down and says she and dad want to pay for lunch, I yield to their authority.
Keeping this command at this stage of life includes a number of things, staying connected, communicating – sharing what is going on in my life and hearing what is happening in theirs, praying for one another, and giving practical help when needed.
Have you honored your father and mother this week? How do you do it?
