My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother; For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck. (Proverbs 1:8, 9 NKJV)
He reminds us the two important people in our life whose mission is to provide the best of everything - our mother and father. Their guidance which they painstakingly try to impress on us to heed is to save us from unnecessary troubles. They have our welfare at heart. Accepting their instructions, we gain from their experience and avoid the mistakes they made. They have their best intensions for our life.
The greatest gift and legacy a parent can give to a child is the gift of Godly values. The highest honor a child accords a parent is learning the laws God tasked him to teach his children.
It is written: “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:6-9 NKJV)
And I say ... AMEN!
