40 Reasons for Thanksgiving 

REASON #10:  For the Gift of Parents or Guardians

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. (Exodus 20:12 ESV)

Does the honor of my parents or guardians only fall on them if they deserve it? Do I see any condition attached to God’s commandment that exempts me from honoring these people? I am simply told to just, “DO IT!” If I will not obey my Heavenly Daddy who tells me to do this, do I really appreciate His perfect love for me? If I withhold giving honor to my parents for any reason, am I also one who does not return to thank Him?
