Good morning. Honoring our mother and father is the first commandment that God gave with a promise. He never put stipulations on this commandment, meaning, if your parents were good then honor them. No, we are to honor them in whatever state they’re in. As parents, we need to teach our children to honor us and their other parent even if the other parent is absent in their lives. We are not to talk down or bad about the absentee parent because our children will think it’s ok to talk down to them and about them, thus, shortening their days on this earth. Let’s not teach our children to shorten their days on earth because of how we feel about an absentee parent.
Exodus 20:12
“Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing
