Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
-Ephesians 6:1-3
You never really appreciate this verse until you get older. During our childhood and early adolescent years it was all about rebelling and doing things "my own way." Using the infamous come back, "you don't know what I'm going through because you're from a different generation." And now as I'm in my third year of college, I'm starting to realize that our parents tend to know us better than ourselves.
Yesterday I got to meet up with my mom after 6 weeks of not seeing her. Chilling at In-n-out for 2 hours talking about relationships, a bit of academics, church things, girls, and the future, I was able to find a lot of peace through her advice. She helped me piece together things that should've been so obvious to me but I was so blind to, and now I finally understand the depth of this verse "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land."
Thank you God for an awesome mother.
