孝敬父母—-以弗所書6:1-3［你們作兒女的, 要在主裏聽從父母, 這是理所當然的. 要孝敬父母, 使你得福, 在世長壽, 這是第一條帶應許的誡命.］［故事］在古代日本貧困家庭有拋棄老人的習慣. 一次, 一位窮困的兒子背著老娘走向山上, 準備將老娘抛棄. 一路上, 老娘不斷的折下樹枝丟在地上, 兒子很不耐的問”你老是丟樹枝幹嗎？ 快死了還多事.” 但母親回答說”兒子, 我是為了在這深山冷凍天氣裏, 讓你能夠找到回家的路.” 兒子聽了, 頓時淚如雨下, 於是又把母親背回家了. [思考］母愛的偉大, 難以用筆墨描寫. 孝敬父母, 理所當然, 也是聖經的教導, 做兒女的理應感恩, 回報父母的恩情. 做個感恩的人. 越感恩, 越喜樂. ［禱告］親愛的天父上帝, 感謝祢賜給我們慈愛的父母, 不辭勞苦, 養育我們長大. 他們勞心勞力的付出, 我們不敢忘記. 求天父賜給為人父母的, 有健康的身心靈. 為人子女的. 曉得感恩, 在父母年老體弱時, 悉心照顧. 讓我們有快樂幸福的家庭, 享受祢的恩典和祢所應許的福份, 使我們的家成為美好的見證, 榮耀祢的聖名. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Honor your parents – Ephesians 6:1-3 [Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is reasonable. Honor your parents so that you may be blessed and live long. This is the first rule. Promised commandments.] [Story] In ancient Japan, poor families had the habit of abandoning their elderly. Once, a poor son carried his mother to the mountain, preparing to abandon her. Along the way, the mother kept breaking off branches and throwing them on the ground. , the son asked impatiently, “Why are you always throwing branches away? You are so troubled when you are about to die.” But the mother replied, “Son, I am here to help you find your way home in this freezing weather in the mountains.” After hearing this, the son burst into tears and carried his mother home again. [Thinking] The greatness of maternal love is difficult to describe in words. Honoring parents is a matter of course and is taught by the Bible. Children should be grateful and repay their parents for their kindness. Gratitude. Be a grateful person. The more grateful you are, the happier you are. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, thank you for giving us loving parents who worked tirelessly to raise us up. We dare not forget their hard work and dedication. .I pray that Heavenly Father will grant us as parents a healthy body, mind and spirit. As children, we will know how to be grateful and take good care of our parents when they are old and frail. Let us have a happy family and enjoy your grace and your promises. The blessing of God makes our home a beautiful testimony, glorifying Your holy name. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
