Children who honor their parents will receive a long life. But remember, Adam and Eve were made mortal and were to GAIN immortality by eating of the Tree of Life which is symbolic of obeying God's express commands. It was taken from them after they "ate" of the Tree of Knowledge, thus usurping God's authority and deciding for themselves what was good or evil and right or wrong. So, the moral of the story is to obey God!

Don't Worry!
Practicing faith is almost the opposite of worry. What is worry? "Time wasted on things that we can't do anything about."
Every rest and every act of motion is chosen by an individual. You can't control other people, or the rest of the world. You can control your response.
Which is more important though? A full, authentic life, that is worth living, or just trying to figure out how to make this body last? (Another impossible task, as this body is recyclable.)

Obey your parents
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." Ephesians 6:1-3
"Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord." Colossians 3:20

Being a caregiver can add many years to your life I think even more than smoking. Try it and tell me.

"Honor thy father and mother" is in the *old* testament, no?
