Despise Not

How many times does G-d have to repeat Himself before one sees it is a command not a choice?
The times that were foretold long ago are starting now:
Micah 7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Luke 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Love, honour, and respect are slowing disappearing, children think they can instruct the parents and do not value all that was sacrificed for them.
If you encourage them with advice from your past experiences it is called judging.
If you give them everything they wanted, it is your fault they can not do without.
If you give them presents, it is expected for you owe them since you gave them life.
Children have become takers that never feel like they have to give anything back, after all they are struggling to make a life for themselves – was life easer for you?
Surprisingly they manage to have nice things for themselves or their family and you can count on a great explanation why they needed it and you don’t, and they can't afford to pay you back on at the scedual time and amount.
In ones old age, parents use to look toward to the children in helping were they can no longer function, and it was natural to want too return all that was done for them.
But the Good Book says the day was coming were children will despise them for asking, and the natural love will be over, for it will be every man for themselves.
I thought it would be in my great-great grandchildren’s day but it is much sooner than we think. The world will not be as we remembered it, and change is not always for the better.
People show who they are -----why don't we believe them the first time? Only G-d can change them.
