To Walk In Honor And Wisdom Shows Respect

The spoken word came before the written word and it's an effective method for teaching. A toddler will learn quickly to respond to your spoken words. They also learn to respond to a smile. They are sometimes frighten by a Halloween character. They understand communication based on our ability to teach them. Some learn so well that they become social butterfly's.
We must teach them as they grow to respond to good. We don't have to teach evil because it's a natural learned habit. Instead, we as parents must correct or point out bad behavior. To walk in wisdom is an honor and most of the time we walk unaware. If you lack wisdom, let him ask. It's a guideline, a requirement and it's so important that it's coupled with understanding.
There is a promise associated with honor your mother and father so that you may live the good or long life. Disobedience can hinder progress. The weight is on your shoulders and not your parents even if they never deserved your respect. It's important that we learn how to replenish each family member's emotional bank account. If we don't, their emotional account may be forced into overload. This could cause and lead to all sorts of family emotional behavior.
I'm not perfect and I don't always get it right, but to walk in wisdom and with honor for parents spells respect. We must be humble and patient and sometimes it's alone when wisdom is upon us. I'm not certain that age is your only chance, but I am certain that in speaking the word, I'm sometimes puzzled as to who has spoken.
