the gift of our parents

ephesians 6:1-3 "Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. Honor your father and mother. this is the first commandment with a promis: if you gonor your father and mother, things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on earth."
God gave you to your parents so that they could raise you. He chose them especially to care for you. The promise in ephesians 6:3 says that if you obey your father and mother, :it may be well with you and you may live long on earth.: also, when you honor the authority that God has put over you and you get his blessing. we who choose to rebel and disobey miss the instructions God has for them through their parents. as a result things won't go so well for those who disobey. You never find an adult who is happy to tell you that they are happy that when they were kids they disobeyed and revolted against there parents.... usually they are ashamed of the way they treated there parents that God has blessed them with. God is in control of all and designed all, his design: obeidience leads to right choices and a good life, but but rebellion leads to guilt in the future.
well i know there have been many times i have disobeyed my aunt and uncle, and i am already ashamed of it, treating those God gave me as if i were better than them or i know more. well we are told by God to put ourselves below others. the verse tells us to put ALL above us including our parents.
