Honouring Love
Joyce Maynard once said, "The portrait of my parents is a complicated one, but lovingly drawn." This statement probably resonates for many of us. Our relationships with our parents are complicated. For some, they are largely filled with joy and gratitude. For others, they contain a lot of sadness and regret. For most, they are comprised of a significant mixture of both. Regardless of how complicated your relationships with your parents, what does it look like to consistently draw your parents with love? How we best love those who brought us into this world, and those who brought us up in this world? What does it mean to "honour your father and mother"?
