A spiritual perspective on honoring one’s parent — and more spiritual insight for the week

Could honoring our parents heal us?

Is there more to the Fifth Commandment, “Honour thy father and thy mother” (Exodus 20:12), than respect and obedience? Our guest shares how this commandment has actually taught him more about how to honor God, and how that’s brought healing in his life.

thought for the week

gratitude opens wide
the windows of heaven
welcomes in
the affluence of harmony
