THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 5.13.09

Father & Mother

PROVERBS 23:22
Harken (Listen) to your father who begot you, and don't despise your mother when she is old.

We live in a time when children no longer respect their parents - you even hear of children divorcing their parents - this is very shocking - when I was being raised I was taught to obey those in authority over me - not that it is easy to conform to this - but it's a part of growing up - sadly today - children seem to be the ones in control - there is very little respect these days for those who have been around longer then other - now this is not to say that there are not those who do respect their parents - but society as a whole has made it passe to respect your parents - many children demand what parents willing give to their children as if it was their right - it's not actually - we are called to respect - honor and love our parents - they brought us into this world - they took care of us when we were growing up - sure none of them did it all right - but if you are living and breathing - they did a great job - we are called to honor our parents - I am learning that our parents won't be with us forever - we have a limited time with them - this is so clear to me now - now that my Dad is in the hospital and tests are looming - we don't know what the prognosis will be - but in the mean time I plan to spend as much time as I can with him and my Step Mom - as we grow we begin to see our parents are not super human after all - they are just like us - they do their job each day - and it's not easy in today's world - we are to honor and respect our parents - it's vital that we do that during the "Living Years" we never know when our time will be up - each moment we have with our parents is a blessing - have your called your parents in a while? Maybe you are not on speaking terms with them - why not make a change today - put the past where it belongs - in the past and begin to show them your love - honor and respect - you won't be sorry you did!

Loving my parents while I still can! Daniel

God has given us parents - even if its a single Mom or Dad - the point is - God put them in our lives - let's love them and respect them - in doing so we love and respect GOD Himself! Amen!
