Few things are as rewarding as children who honor their parents. We can accumulate many rewards and honors over the years, but they don’t compare to offspring who love and respect their parents.
The challenge for some is that they invest their time and energy into winning the respect of their peers and colleagues but not in earning trust and devotion from their children. Such people would do anything for their colleagues but are preoccupied when dealing with their family. No problem is too great at work, but household issues are draining. There is a way to beget a wise child: pour wisdom into them. If we want our children to respect us, we must relate to them in a respectable manner.
Likewise, as children, we have the power to bring enormous blessing to our parents. Living wisely brings them honor. Expressing gratitude and appreciation to them bestows great blessing. Conversely, living foolishly dishonors those who gave us birth.
How is the way you are living bringing honor to your parents? How is the present way you are raising your children sowing seeds of future honor for you?
