Adult Child

 

Some possible ways an adult could openly express God’s love through honoring his parents throughout their lives.

 

♥ Visit, call, and/or write regularly to keep them up on his and his family’s lives.

♥ Send cards and/or gifts and take the opportunity to be with them on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Thanksgiving.

♥ Seek their advice and help in areas of their knowledge, expertise, strengths, or interests.

♥ Bear their burdens by listening to their concerns, troubles, and complaints, and commiserating with them.

♥ Ask their help in times of crisis or major decisions (e.g., a new baby, a job change, a major purchase, the needs of the children, a severe illness or injury).

♥ Take reasonable care of them in old age.

♥ Help them financially in their need, as much as he is reasonably able.

♥ Teach his children to respect their grandparents.

♥ Share his children with their grandparents.

♥ When disagreement with his parents should be expressed, do so with kindness, respect, and gentleness.

♥ Assure them of his financial help if and when it is needed.

♥ Assure them of his prayers.

♥ Express specific appreciation for the help, encouragement, training, etc. which they have sacrificially given him.

♥ Speak respectfully of them in the presence of others.

♥ Address their sins and weaknesses to them alone, instead of talking behind their backs to others about them.

♥ Visit, call, and/or write them when they are lonely, ill, or despondent.

♥ Seriously consider their observations with regard to his life.

♥ Limit his Christian freedom in front of his parents in areas in which they are sensitive or are in disagreement.

♥ Use the manners which his parents taught him when in their presence.
