Lady of Light
In Ephesians, Chapter 6:1-3, it tells us:
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 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."
At first glance, it may appear that these instructions are for children who are still under their parents' authority - minor children. But upon reflection, it seems that it applies to children of all ages who have or ever had parents. When we live according to to good things our parents taught us by example and in training - good values, good habits, good manners, being responsible etc. we are living in obedience. Also, how we present the memories of parents who are deceased, the kind of legacy we keep alive to our own children and grandchildren says much about honoring them. Of course, parents are human and not perfect, but when we live by the good, remember the good and honor them, we are promised a long life here on earth.
These verses can also be read to younger children to encourage them to do the right things.
Mainly to have the right heart attitude towards their parents.
God bless you and have a great day!
