Growing Up

Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:1-3

There is a shift that should take place in our relationship with our parents as we reach fuller maturity in adulthood.  As we continue in our growth in age and life stage, the way we relate to our parents and how they should involve themselves in our own lives must change.  Also, some of us may be confused about the meaning of “honoring our parents.”  Today, we learn what it means to honor our parents as we distinguish the meaning of honoring and obeying.  Ultimately, we want to be faithful in cultivating a healthy relationship with our aging parents.
