Honor and respect
Stand up in the presence of the elderly, and show respect for the aged. ~ Leviticus 19:32 (NLT)
Be the best at showing honor to each other. ~ Romans 12:10 (CEB)
Great God, you are worthy of all respect and honor. And at least one way that we honor you is by honoring all the people who are made in your image (even old and grumpy people). Forgive my uncaring attitude and impatience. Help me to be respectful -- not just in appearance but to also have a respectful heart. This is really hard sometimes. But I want to be the best at showing honor as I can possibly be. Amen.
