Love one another deeply. Honor others more than yourselves.
- Romans 12:10 (NIRV)
Love and honor.
My dad always told me that he showed me he loved me by keeping a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my belly, “I love you” was not something he said, but rather something he showed.
Children honor their parents by being respectful in their behavior and by doing what is asked of them.
But are love and honor connected?
I believe that they are, but not in the way you might think..
I love cats (really!), but I would not say that I “honor” cats.
I think we all know what love is, or at least some variation of love.
Honor though, that is a high regard, respect, something that I am not sure we all understand.
People deserve both love and honor from us.
Sometimes it is something small like hanging out, going to a movie or for a walk.
Other times it is showing up for the important moments in their life.
Think hard on this one – how do you show someone both love and honor?
