And God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. …"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you."
Matthew 22:39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Lord, You began my training at my mother's knee as she taught me by example and by instruction, what it meant to honor my parents and by extension, to love my neighbors. Your teaching methods are so practical, so gentle and kind, so effective, why do I forget to emulate You as I attempt to teach my children and grandchildren.
