Honor.

I have a few words I’d like to allocate to whoever reads this.

τιμή. לכבד. honor.

Something so many people crave, but not many give.

Some of us are very fortunate indeed to have both parents, let alone one parent, to raise us to become who we are today. I don’t know if I know you if you are reading this, but to whoever gives honor, honor is due them. I suspect that many of us don’t honor the people enough who gave us life, raised us, fed and clothed us, and changed our nasty diapers. One day, and maybe already have, you will do the same.

Growing up in my household wasn’t the easiest, but really, what is easy these days? My parents raised me, took care of me, and, yes, went out of their way to love me by putting a roof over my head, to say the least. I have life and safety to be thankful for and I have two people due the honor. Regardless, if I want honor, I must honor. It all starts at home.

I challenge you to find the definition of the word honor. Not the definition by tradition or by the culture that we live by today, the original, raw and unabridged definition of honor.
