respect

if you're familiar with the ten commandments, you should know the expression "honor your father and mother" of course, it's the commandment that usually comes up when there is a parent-teen discussion. why not think about the commandment in a different light? did you know that it's a commandment that comes with a payoff? the Bible says to honor your parents so that "it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on earth"

honoring your parents doesn't mean bowing down to them when they walk through the door. honoring your parents is an inward thing. it means to respect their values and also living by their rules-not out of duty but out of your love for them.

honoring your parents means looking out for their welfare. always remember, love is a two-way commitment. when they love enough to provide for your protection and well-being, you should acknowledge and appreciate their support in return.

so, respect voluntarily, not forced. honor your parents on purpose. have a nice day all of you !!!
