Learning to Respect Your Parents Pastor Jenny Small

In "Learning To Respect Your Parents", we see CiCi Light at the age of twelve, still continuing to be very rude, disrespectful and rebellious to her parents, but her Dad believes that the application of patient, loving care will eventually cause her to come around. Mrs. Light is very concerned about CiCi's nonchalant attitude and asks her husband what he suggests they should do. Mr. Light tells his wife that they cannot give up on CiCi, because they love her, and that they must humbly continue to give of their best, because LOVE NEVER ABANDONS. Mr. Light said that many parents believe that change will not come in their children, so they give up easily, without trying to assist them to strive for excellence, as they learn to honor and respect their parents, and their elders. This example of guidance from CiCi's Dad shows how important it is for the Dad to be part of children's lives, because love never abandons and, "UNITY IS STRENGTH".
