What you are

I truly try to be a good example, though I fail quite often. If you want a good example of how to plan things to the tiniest detail, I am a pretty good example. On the other hand, if you want a good example of someone that can just go with the flow and wing it, I am a horrible example. We all have our strengths and weaknesses; GOD knows I have mine.

People tend to follow examples, good and bad. I think this explains why young men wear their pants down below their underwear, which is completely inappropriate. I think it verges on indecent exposure. It also explains why their are so many lies - every political and public figure seems to be caught up in some kind of scandal and lie. It is of the utmost importance to be a good example. While these are good examples of what not to do, they are not good examples.

Today's word is a thought/quote/saying that I try to keep in mind, which says, "Others will learn more by what you are than by what you say."

Like the public figures that love to tell us what they think we want to hear; we learn more by what they actually did when the truth comes out. Like the medical professional that tells us that we need to lose a few pounds; we learn more when they are in shape and can tell us how they do it. People do learn more by what we are than by what we say.

I want to work harder on being a good example than just telling a good example. I want to be the good example that I like to talk about. Don't you? I don't want our kids to have to look to someone else for their example; I pray that GOD will help me be the example they need me to be. I pray that I will be the example that I should be.

Be Blessed,
