Mothers day is a day when we are to celebrate our moms. Someone once asked me,”but what if your mom has not been good to you, or refuses to respect you as an adult? At the time it was a very good question. He went on to tell me that things are not good good between he and his mom and that he has tried very hard to be there for her, but it always turns sour because of her behavior. He went on to say that every time he tried to talk to some one about it they would say, “man, that is your mom, you only have one, not to mention that she brought you into this world.” I could tell that he was frustrated and tired of hearing that, as if to say that he should allow her to treat him any way she wanted because she is his mother. I did my best to comfort him by telling him that those people are speak out  the good relationships they have with their mom, and that very fact kind of disqualifies them to give him advice concerning the matter. I told him to just be the kind of person he knows he should be. I man with character and integrity. If we work on those aspects of our lives, we will celebrating our moms more than any card, dinner, or roses could ever do. You see, The Bible tells us to honor our mother and father right in the middle of Ten Commandments which are there as guidelines to live our lives. To live our lives and become  productive citizen is the best way to honor our parents. To honor means to live a honest and fair life. A life of integrity. This doesn’t mean that we have to tolerate anyone inapropriate behavior.
