Right is right and wrong is wrong

We have two (2) amazingly, wonderful kids. They are typical kids that do things that irritate you one minute and make you roll in the floor laughing the next. We are so blessed to be allowed to be their parents. And, I hope one day they, too, will think that they are blessed as well.

Being typical kids, they will use the old phrase, "Well, everyone else has one." Or, "Well, everyone else is doing it." I have to explain to them that neither of those statements are true. Not every single person has one, nor is every single other person doing whatever. How do I know? Because, we don't have one, or we aren't doing it. So, not everyone...

Today's word is a phrase I give them to remind them that we are always to do the right thing: "Right is right even if no one is doing it, and wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it."

I think we can all get caught up in the moment and allow ourselves to do things that we wouldn't typically do just because those we are with are doing it. Yet, we shouldn't allow ourselves to be caught up in the fray, and allow peer pressure to cause us to do something that we know is wrong. Period.

We have great kids that need reminders from time to time, as we all do. I want to do the right thing every time. Do I? No. But, I want to. I also don't want others to influence anything that I do. I want to be lead by the Holy Spirit and to do His will. So, I am pretty steady in my reminder to myself that right is right and wrong is wrong.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
