Sometimes, you've heard something so often that the meaning behind it has started to lose it's "punch" or becomes more a thing you say, than a thing you do.
"Honor your father and your mother" - Exodus 20:12
Honor - Regard with great respect, or the Hebrew says to give great weight to or to promote.
So this is a reminder to me and, perhaps, to you. Give extra consideration for your parents, to the things they say, to how your behavior reflects on them, to the things you say about them to others. When they say something, pause a moment and give it a little extra thought instead of letting it slide by as a "they always say that".
