Honor & Obey

          It is very important that as children, we honor and obey our parents. They love us so much and will do anything for us. After all, we are their most prized possessions. For all of the things they do for us, we need to show that we are thankful by obeying them. My parents mean the world to me!

Questions to ask yourself-

1. What is my usual attitude when my parents ask me to do something?
2. How well do I accept the responsibility for my daily routine chores?
3. How do I accept criticism when my parents must teach me when I am wrong?
4. Do I ever try to show my parents my love for them by doing something without being told?
5. Do I go to my parents for advice?
6. How can I make my home happy and pleasant?
7. When did I last tell my parents I loved them?

          Now look back over your answers…Are you really giving honor and obedience to your parents as God asks? ________ Is God able to bless your life as He wants to? _____
