Honor

Proverbs 27:11
Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
that I may answer him who reproaches me.

Honor your parents. It is as simple as that.

Regardless of your upbringing. Regardless of weather they were the picture perfect home or the worst of situations, bring them honor. Be wise. Not only do we attempt wisdom to serve God but also to serve our parents. To give them the opportunity to stand tall.

Because of our belief in Christ, we believe All people deserve love and forgiveness. It is hard some days when I hear my mom or my husbands dad gloat over the lives we now lead. I hear pride and confidence. I want to say, wait a minute. We are this way because of God, we are this way because we chose a different way and have been blessed in our lives.

Then I remember, for that moment they stand with their heads held high. We can stand with our hearts held out to them in hopes that they have a glimpse of Gods power in our lives and that brings them happiness.

I pray there will come a day that I will stand with my head held high because of the amazing people my children will be. If I had a hand or if it is all for Gods glory, I will be honored. Whatever path my life takes and whoever will speak against me, I can still look to my children for the people they will be.

I pray that I to am that glimpse of hope and joy to my mom and my dad. Regardless if they deserve the credit, they deserve the honor.

Please continue to pray for Denise P this week
