Love & Honor Your Parents

I want you all to know that no matter what someone is doing to you or how upset they make you, we should always look for the Christ in them and reflect the Christ in us. Please remember this always.

Last night I got upset with Minew and Grandpaw and I didn’t do that. Below is a text I sent them, but I should also apologize in person or at least over the phone.

Text I sent Minew and Grandpaw

Im sorry I was so rude and disrespectful last night. You both don’t ever deserve that and I was wrong.

I didn’t show y’all love and that hurts me for how it hurt y’all and how it made y’all feel. I didn’t make y’all feel loved, accepted, or respected and I know that was ugly and I feel awful about it. Y’all deserve more and better from me always, and I failed you both last night.

I have been really worried about your new pain Dad and what that could mean for both of you, so last night caught me off guard, but it’s no excuse. I also worry about both of you getting older and I know anything can happen at anytime. It scares me and brings heartache for the future, so I should always show you both love and I need to do much better at times.

I should never show y’all disrespect and want y’all to know that when I do, I teach my children that I was wrong and that I should have chosen love like Christ teaches us, that I didn’t show love and that y’all always deserve respect, love, and honor as my parents and as children of God.

I am grateful to God that I have parents who are still living, and sometimes I take that for granted like last night, but more often now, I reflect on that in sincere gratitude, but I need to do better at showing it. I am also grateful to God that I have parents who love me so deeply and unconditionally and who care for me and my family so much. I am truly sorry I hurt y’all last night and didn’t honor you both.

I love you both very very much very and I am sorry I did not show that last night. I am disappointed in myself and am reflecting on how you both felt. I didn’t reflect Christ in me and I didn’t love the Christ in both of you.

I’m sorry.

I love you both so very much.
