Ephesians 6:2-3
Honor Builders: Showing Respect and Love to Parents
Verse Of The Day:
"‘Honor your father and mother’—which is the first commandment with a promise—‘so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.’" (Ephesians 6:2-3)
Imagine building a bridge that connects two sides—one side is love, and the other is respect. Honoring your parents is like strengthening that bridge, making your relationship with them strong and beautiful. Ephesians 6:2-3 reminds us that honoring our father and mother is a commandment from God, and it comes with a promise of blessings.
Honoring your parents means showing respect, listening to their advice, and being kind and helpful. It’s not always easy, but it pleases God when we love and obey our parents. God promises that when we honor them, things will go well for us, and we’ll experience the joy of living a full, blessed life.
When we honor our parents, we’re also honoring God, who gave us our families to love and care for. Let’s build strong bridges of respect and love every day!
Honor Bridge Craft:
Create an “Honor Bridge” at home! Draw or cut out a simple bridge on paper or cardboard. Write “Honor Your Parents” in the center of the bridge. On each side of the bridge, write words like “Love,” “Respect,” and “Obey.” Decorate it with bright colors and symbols of family, like hearts or stick-figure drawings of parents and kids. Hang it up as a reminder to honor your parents with love and respect. This craft helps kids see how honoring their parents builds strong relationships.
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for giving us parents to love and guide us. Help us to honor them by showing respect, love, and obedience. Teach us to build strong, kind relationships with our families, and bless us as we follow Your command. Thank You for the promise of blessings that come from honoring our parents. Amen.
Keep honoring your parents, Faith Force Honor Builders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that respecting and loving your parents brings blessings to your life. Let’s build bridges of honor and joy in our families every day!
