Obey Your Parents

It’s not easy to obey our parents. Especially, when we’re getting older and we think we know right from wrong, we can make our own decision, and we’re more educated (or higher paid than our parents).
But the thing is: we can’t choose our parents. God gave them to us in the first place for some reasons.
The bible reminds us to obey our parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Of course, when they’re getting older, they will have some character changes as well. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but anyhow, let’s try to see them as God’s gifts in our life. Maybe, they don’t look like our ideal or perfect parents, but respect them anyway. At least try to do it. They’re only human after all, with many mistakes along the way, but they’re the best that we’ve got. (-fon-)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right
--- Ephesians 6:1
