We
asked our Papa to write an article on the subject of respecting and
honoring your father. We believe that one of the greatest gifts you can
give to your father is your obedience and respect. Here is what he had
to say.
------------
Dear Young Person:
I trust that you are doing well today.
The Bible says in Ephesians 6:1-3: “Honour thy father
and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well
with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.”
I
want you to know that I am honored and happy that my dear
children have honored me down through the years with their many love
letters to
me and now through this wonderful website. I imagine that the love
letters and notes that I have received from my children now total in
the
thousands, and each one has blessed my heart in a special way. But most
importantly, my heart has been blessed by my children honoring me by
showing me
respect, and by striving to obey me when I tell them to do the right
thing.
Let me let you in on a little secret—here's how to get any good thing that you
want from your father:
- Show
him love and respect by having a cheerful attitude and doing what he tells
you to do.
