Eph 6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
KJV
Children are not only to obey their parents, they are to honor them and there is a difference. When we honor our parents we obey with the right spirit and we continue to walk in the way that we were trained. My mother passed in 1999, my father in 2014, and all these years later I continue to do things to honor them. Things I was trained to do as a young boy, I still do today. Things I saw them do as a teen and young man, I do today. My actions are often a reflection of theirs. The places I go today are places they approved so many years ago. The word honor means to place a very high value on someone or something and I place today a very high value on the parents and grandparents I was blessed with. They were precious to me then and I wanted to please and honor them at that time. They give me many precious memories today and I want to continue to honor them. Honor thy father and mother.
