Practice preaching

There are so many quotes out there about practice makes perfect. However, there are just as many that say, "If practice makes perfect and no one is perfect, then, why practice?" That is a good question but no one will EVER be perfect here on this earth.

I have practiced a lot of things in my time and I have never accomplished perfection. As a matter of fact, I would say I have come up short of average in most instances. However, I do see the need for practice, it helps us to get better at what we are trying to accomplish.

Today's word is sort of a compilation of a saying I heard and a thought I had...today's word is, "People say, 'Practice what you preach.' It is the practice that makes perfect, not the preaching."

Yeah, we like to tell others what they need to do. Maybe I should just speak for myself. I like to tell others what they need to do. It is much easier to tell (preach to) others about their actions than to live it yourself. It is sort of like the doctor who smokes telling his patient that he/she needs to quite smoking. Yes, we really do need to practice what we preach.

The preaching, however, will never let you accomplish your goal. The preaching is just a way to express to others the need to change something. It is the practice that will accomplish the feat. The old saying is, "Thunder does the talking but lightning does the work."

I am really good at preaching. I am going to try to work harder on my practice. Want you join me?

Be Blessed,
