When we
observe Mother's Day and Father's Day, we are reminded of God's commandment to honor our
parents (not just one day, but everyday).
All the
children in my life are beautiful blessings from God -- especially my own. To watch you grow and learn is a reflection of
God's perfect design. Although I sometimes
lose sight of it, you are signs of God's mercy and richness that He has honored me with.
As with most
blessings from God, however, there is a responsiblity that comes with you -- to guide you
to worship God.
Now, to get
back to the commandment to honor your parents. If
I may speak for all parents who believe in God, the greatest honor you can bring me is to
worship God as He should be worshipped. This
lets me feel that I have fulfilled the responsibility that God has blessed me with. If you do what God wants you to do, obey His
commandments and study His word, you honor me more than cards or words ever could. Thank God for the blessings He has given me
through the children around me.
