Today I honored my husband by affording both of us the opportunity to honor our mother's on their day. Bryan spent the day with his Mom in Baltimore and I journeyed to New Jersey with my siblings to honor my Mom. The Lord tells us in his word to honor thy mother and thy father. As I reflected on this commandment it dawned on me that honor starts first in the home when we are of young age. I then realized that if we are not able to honor our parents or those who served that role for us, we may not know how to honor our mates.
Today I honored my husband by honoring our mother's because without them neither of us would know how to honor, love and respect each other. It is very true that this starts at home. I can remember being very young and getting angry with my father and if in my anger I said something that was not honoring him, my Mom would put a stop to it immediately and explain to me why I could not speak ill of my dad even in my anger. I believe this was the early stages of me learning how to honor my husband and I thank our mom's for giving of themselves that we might be able to give of each other.
Wives of the world, in what way do you or can you honor your husband by honoring your mother or father?
Blessings,
Rochelle
