On Mother’s Day, we celebrate our moms. And we can also celebrate the godly women that Jesus has placed in our lives! In the Ten Commandments it says to “honor your father and mother” and many times we hear that that means to “obey your father and mother.” And while obedience is part of honoring your parents, it is really more than that. You can obey someone without honoring them (have you ever done what you were told but rolled your eyes, dragged your feet, or pouted about it?), but when we honor our parents, obedience just comes naturally. to honor your parents means to highly value them. To care what they think and how they feel. It’s not just about obedience, it’s about love and respect. We might not always be able to do all the special things we do on Mother’s Day, every day, but we can sure honor our mothers every day!
