Respecting Your Elders is biblical and it is very serious.  This is because your children are watching you as parents.  When I was growing up in the Dayton, Ohio Area, I had to say Yes Ma’am and No Ma’am and Yes Sir and No Sir.  I also had to give up my seat for the elderly.

Next, I have to do whatever I was told to do by elderly people.  I had to respect what they said to me unless it’s sometime vulgarity and I had to take a walk in the neighborhood.  Today, our young people do not have any respect for their own parents or the elderly people.  Our young people use bad language in front of the elderly.

Finally, I want to inform all of you that I used to be a juvenile delinquent from ages 14 through 17. When I was in high school, I used to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana.  At that time,my mother had given up on her own children.  I remember when I did not attend school or church;  until my grandparents told me to my face that I was going in the wrong direction.  My grandparents did not play with me.  My grandparents made sure that I was in school.  I lived with my grandparents until I graduated from high school.  My family members were dysfunctional.  My grandparents did not play that family dysfunctional mess.  My siblings and I have different fathers.

My grandparents were champions when It comes to the truth.  I have always submitted myself when it came to the truth.  My grandparents made sure that I went to church and school.  My mother told me to my face that she was very proud of me for graduating from high school and college.  My great aunt made sure that I have completed my homework all of the time.  My mother and I were together all of the time.  When my grandparents died, I cried for hours.  When my mother and sister died, I became very depressed and sad.  I miss all of my relatives who are not living anymore.  My nieces and nephews do not know me.  My brother and I didn’t have any children because they cost too much.  The rest of my siblings have children.  I love all of my nieces and nephews. My family members and I do not speak to each other anymore.  Theyare accusing me of talking to scammers and computer hackers.  I do not speak to them anymore.  Thank you Lord Jesus for being my friend.
