Showing mutual respect builds a strong family! Remember when you were a kid and you’d roll your eyes when Momma said, “Clean your room!” Mom who sees everything would say, “Don’t you disrespect me, young lady!”

I’m so thankful respect was a taught in my home growing up! As a grown woman I definitely mess up at times and have to say, “I’m sorry. The way I treated you was disrespectful. Please forgive me.”

Respect is one of the core values of our family.

A Few Ways to Show Respect

• Responding, instead of reacting
• Empathize with each other
• Show grace
• Pray often together
• Encourage each other
• Care about each other’s feelings
• Tone of voice that’s gentle
