Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. (Exodus 20:12, NIV)
This is the only commandment God gives that comes with a promise. I post this verse today, because today is a day my wife and I have set aside to honor my parents. Both of them turn 50 this year, one in June and one in September. In order to honor them today we are having my family from both sides over for a cookout to show them how much we truly appreciate and love them. I don't say that very often, but it is always a fact. Both of them have done everything possible to provide me with a solid foundation in life, a college education, and an example of a strong loving family.
As a man I have learned from my father and I pray that I am as strong and loyal to my family as he has been over the years. Mom has been great, oh how many times have I been comforted be her as child when I was injured. Most of my life she was a stay at home mom and wife. I am thankful for the many talks, dinners, goodies, and love over the years.
Both of my parents are amazing and wonderful. I am truly blessed to have two parents who love me and now my wife. So today I honor my parents in a way that all children should, by giving to them and and saying I love you both.
