We apologize for this extra step, but this devotion from 2011 was updated and is now located at the link below. We pray that this devotion will encourage you! 3 Aspects of Honoring Parents
This is a beautiful and very mature insight, thank you for posting! I have one daughter who thinks like you and blesses her parents all the time because of it. I have another daughter that I am patiently and unconditionally loving as I wait on the Lord to work in her heart. One thing I am certain of, you are a blessing to your mother and to the Lord.
I have so many friends with adult children who suffer from neglect and disrespect, and I know it hurts God's heart to see this. So this is a subject dear to my heart and one I'll probably write about more in the future. Thanks for your thoughtful and encouraging comments, Rebecca and Alida.
This is interesting Gail. My relationship with my parents is very strained at times, for different reasons. This helps give me a heart and reality check though. Despite our differences and issues, I still need to be respecting and loving of them. I am quick to acknowledge how wonderful they are and how they have sacrificed for me, but I don't think I always show it too.
I pray that God will bless you with wisdom in developing your relationship with your parents so that the strain and tensions are resolved. God wants to bless you through this relationship, Nicole! I'm excited because I think God is going to bless some of your efforts.
