Eph. 5,6

Paul reminded that it would go well with you IF you honor your father and mother.

How do we do that?

• We communicate with them frequently to see to their well-being
• We treat them with gratitude and respect, always remembering the commitment they fulfilled in raising us and the support they provided for our needs
• We live our lives in a manner that embraces the enduring values they transferred to us
• We give them acknowledgment of the positive influences they displayed for us
• We seek to impart the same values to our children
• We teach our children to honor and respect them too
• We discretely and graciously assume decision-making when they can no longer do so
• We seek their comfort and happiness when their lives near the end

If you do these things for your parents, chances are your children will do likewise.
