Be A Child of Honor

Posted on by Marla
 
Born of humble birth to a father and a mother
A child is given out of love for one another…
God sends this life to us, to help them grow, mature and love
Honor your father and your mother.
A mother’s love is like no other
She’s on call every moment of every day and night
Struggling to do what she knows is right…
Making mistakes along the way
Not always knowing just what to say…
And so she prays…
“Lord, help me to be a child of honor…
By honoring my children in this short time I have with them
Protect them when I’m wrong and help them to feel at home
Even when I mess up and cause harm, I don’t mean too Lord…
Help me to be strong.”
The love of a father is sometimes missed,
It’s not always easy to mend hearts with a kiss…
He’s tough and strong and brave but sometimes he can be wrong…
He works to provide for his family all day long…
“Lord, help me to be a child of honor…
To love in deed, not only in word,
Planting seeds within the hearts of these, my children…
Let them know when I am old, that I did the best I could,
Often times misjudging and misunderstood…
Lord, help me teach by example, to be a child of honor…”
To honor is to respect, and never to neglect, what God has given…
Parents, love your children, and honor them while they are small…
And when they are tall…
Respect will be their gift to you
And Honor, will be their call…
Be a child of Honor!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
