“Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.”
Ephesians 6:2-3 KJV
Paul had many spiritual children but none biological yet was mindful of honouring our father and our mother, which was the first of the Ten Commandments with a promise attached, indicating we will prosper and live a long, full life if we honor our parents. Of course we love and have the highest affection for our mother and father but to honour and show respect, perhaps is for the father and not the mother! Let’s honour our mothers’ too. Let’s show respect to our mothers and not just strong affection. Honour your father and mother, not only love them. Jesus is Whom we follow and He honoured His mother even as He hung on the Cross. Let’s follow Jesus as He showed us the Way - Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Amen!
