The Eye That Mocks the Father James Burns

Our relationships with our parents can determine future success for ourselves and as we mature for our families. Honor Your Father and Your Mother is the first commandment that has a blessing attached to it: "That you will live a long full life." NLT. As we mature the imprint from our upbringing can affect the relationship that should mean the most to us; the one with our parents. When we mock our father and despise our mother we lose our perception on life and may miss many of the blessings that God has for us. This Reflective Journal will give the reader and the writer an opportunity to evaluate what their relationship is or was with their parents and gain insights on how to restore a strained one or overcome past hurts that may continue to plague their minds.
