Honor your father and mother.

Our pastors are working through a sermon series on the ten commandments this summer.  This morning the commandment was "Honor your father and mother...." (the 5th commandment if you're Presbyterian or Methodist, the 4th commandment in the Lutheran or Catholic list). I sat between two of my granddaughter as the pastor began his sermon thinking listen up girls, this is important for you to hear. Then as he got a little further into the sermon the pastor explained that this commandment was not originally given to children but to adults.  The sense of the commandment is for adult children to honor and take care of their aging parents. What a fine idea. Who shall I move in with?
