Exodus 20:12 - 12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your
God is giving you.
Attachment is the secure bond you have with someone.
Honor what you can and forgive the rest.
How to be parents worthy of honor and how to honor our parents.
Proverbs 1:8-9 – Listen my son, to the correction of your father; and do not forsake the teaching of your mother. 9For they are a garland of grace for your head; and a necklace for your neck.
Proverbs 15:20 – A wise son causes joy for a father; but a stupid man despises his mother.
Martin Luther – There are few things wholly good or wholly evil.
Do you bring joy to your parents or are you stupid?
Proverbs 20:20 – One who curses his father and his mother – his lamp will be snuffed out by deep darkness.
There are no perfect parents.
Forgive your parents.
Proverbs 30:17 – The mocking eye toward a father, and the eye that despises a mother, The ravens of the valley
will pick out that eye and the son of a vulture will eat it.
More curiosity, less judgment.
Proverbs 23:25 – Your father and your mother bring joy and the one who gave birth to you rejoices.
Be parents of joy.
Dallas Willard: Joy is a deep, pervasive sense of well-being.
