Day 1140: Always obey your parents?

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “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 6:1-3

 

It’s 2 : 12 PM on day 1140 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,   read 1 Kings 20,    publish my Disability of the Day feature,  publish my Kid of the Week feature, go to church,   go visit my granny,  feed myself  Idli and Sambar  for breakfast and continue reading House Rules by Jodi Picoult.

 

Today talking about what parents can reasonably expect from their teenagers the person preaching at our church said it’s okay for kids not to obey their parents if what their parents are telling them is different from what Jesus is telling them which really helped me because I’ve often been conflicted about whether or not I should stand up to my elders when they say or do something that I know is wrong.
