Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Parents are the greatest asset anyone could ever have. They are the first trainers a child has by default, they show a child the way, bringing up that child in the way that child should go, though we have parents who neglect bringing up their child rightly or not even being there for the child at all, however, the role of a good parent is to bring up a child, and that role is best done by a parent. So good parents train up their children, they make sacrifices for their children, they give all so that their children can stand tall, and when you have parents who do this, a child who doesn't honor them is automatically set for a curse. God in His admonition to the Israelites said "Honor thy father and mother :that thy days may be long upon the land..." This is the first commandment God gave, even with a promise. Honoring parents is so important if you must have a good future, so many people fail in raising their own children because they failed honoring their own parents. Parents must be honored and respected no matter the age or stage you as a child get to in life.
Take out time today to reflect on how you've had your relationship with your parents and seek to even do more for them. They are God's blessing to you, and you're God's blessing to them. Do have a great day ahead.
