Lesson 18#

First of all i would like to thank God, for giving me a very wonderful personality, that is to tahan. *phew*

I've always wished that i could argue with my parents, despite them having seniority and all, i can see a lot of flaws. And every time i get into trouble but they blame me, i want to argue, but its not me, just not me, to argue with them.

What is it to honour your parents? first and foremost, what is honouring to you. How you define honouring, will determined how you will honour your parents, and frankly, that's what many people fail to do!

To me, honouring parents is very simple. The way i honour God, would be the way i honour my parents. Yes i've falled and falled, but i get up and run the race again. More so, honouring parents is something ultimate significant to God, because in the Ten Commandments, "honour your father and your mother" is the 5th which makes it the command in the first tablet, and out of the five commands in the first tablet, 4 speaks of honouring God and worshipping Him, but one speaks of honouring parents. For God to predicate such a thing, really makes me think how much i should honour my parents.

Very recently, today, i had to show my trail examination results to my parents. And as expected, my mom blew. Whole house could hear. Sometimes i would wonder, with all these "blowing left right centre" i don't feel any encouragement. Where is the encouragement that i need? But then again, i never argued about any of these things. I guess that's what friends are for too. Honouring parents by not argueing with them, has been one of my greatest challenges, and i believe i have somehow, one way or the other, overcomed it. Thank You LORD!

So people, please please, honour your parents. They love you very much, just as mine loves me.

Mercy out,
Wai Leem
