Honor.....
Who do we honor?
Throughout the Bible it speaks of honor. I don't hear that word very often more. A few of us put our flags up for various holidays or patriotic days...
At parades, people usually stand when the color guard passes....
We stand when dignitaries arrive...
We have funerals, memorials either at funeral home, churches, or gravesite s to honor our loved ones...
We honor the people who are held in high offices...even those we do not respect...the Jews were told to honor the emperor even though they did not like him or his leading....
I remember visiting my husbands mom daily while she was in a rest home....so tiring, but needful...we did it if not for her, but to teach our children about honoring parents....then again for my parents, each one as they finished life....and again for my husband....honoring them In Preparation for another life not here , but eternity....taking that time to talk, listen..honoring them with love, care....
We are to honor God with our first fruits....when we gardened, we gave away our first veggies to others, not on an alter, but for their use....to those in need....

1 Kings 3: 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”

These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Revelation 5:13
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
This is worthy of watching,...honor to the fallen.. Honor to one another....especially our Creator....

This is wonderful. Thank God for the 49% of we Americans who still stand for dignified patriotism. Sadly, we are becoming outnumbered.
