Americans often mistreat and dishonour their parents, dumping them into a nursing home and hardly (if ever) visit them. All across the United States elderly parents are withering away, lonely, in some nursing home. Adult children don't hesitate these days to rebuke their parents at the dinner table, showing lack of respect for their feelings, decisions and opinions. IT IS WICKEDNESS!!! I don't care how awful of a parent your mother and father may have been to you while growing up . . . THEY ARE YOUR PARENTS! You honor (value) them!!! I don't care how disrespectful and irritating they may be toward you . . . THEY ARE YOUR MOM AND DAD!!! You love them. You honor them. You care for them. You pray for them. You love them even if they hate you. If your parents hurt you, you don't hurt them back! THEY ARE YOUR PARENTS!!!

There is a woeful spirit of ingratitude that many adult children have for their parents. It doesn't matter how much that you do to help them, it is as if you didn't help them at all. One thing that I've learned in life is that there is only so much you can do to help your adult children. They are each their own person. They must seek the Lord on their own. I've seen preacher's children become atheists. How could that happen? After decades of hearing the Word of God preached, growing up in a preacher's home and a church environment, how could that child grow astray?
