To Teachers

Decalogue_parchment_by_Jekuthiel_Sofer_1768“Deo, parentibus et magistris non potest satis gratiae rependi.” – To God, to parents, and to teachers we can never render sufficient gratitude and compensation. — Martin Luthers explaniation of the 4th (or 5th if you are not Lutheran or Catholic) Commandment

I know that not everyone had great parents, and some people are agnostic or athiest.  But I think we have all had people that have taught us things.  When we look back to the screaming ball of snot and crap that we were when we were born and see how far we have come, we can only have feelings of gratitue. We realize the truth of the statement above.

    I was looking for commentary on the commandment of God concerning “honor you father and mother….” but could not figure how to get into more than the 5 sentences you have on this page “Luther Online”. Any suggestions?
