Obedience

Lady of Light

In Ephesians, Chapter 6:1:3, it tells us:

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with proise. That it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long on the earth."

At first glance, one may think that these verses only applies to children who are still under the control of their parents - minor children. After meditating on these verses, I believe this applies to all children who have parents - alive or deceased. We can always remember the good things that our parents taught us by example, and trained us to do in live - good values, good manners, good speech, good habits etc. Also, how we speak and live in memory of them when they pass away is important too in terms of honoring them. There is much we can do to produce a positive legacy of our parents for our own children and grandchildren as well. I believe that all of these things are included in these verses as well as to read them to young children and instruct them in the same way.

God bless you and have a great day!
