This Sunday, many will celebrate Mothers around the world. This will be the first Mother's Day since the passing of my mother. Although this brings me sadness, I know that I did my best to follow the focus passage of obeying my mother and honoring her. The last words I heard from my mother while taking care of her on the Sunday before she passed was "I Love You from the bottom of my heart." At that time I didn't know those would be the last words I would ever hear from her, but I am comforted knowing that she felt this way and appreciated me taking care of her. I did it because she took care of me as well as loved me growing up and it is part of God's commandments to do the same for her. I am still following God's commandments by obeying and honoring my father at the very second that I am typing this. I am sitting here at the hospital with him as he is resting and serving as his guest columnist to send you all a message because he asked me to. Hopefully this is pleasing to him and to God. This Mother's Day reflect on how you are living up to Ephesians 6:1-3. What are you doing to obey and honor your parents?
