One of the many perks of our occupation is allowing kids to help, spend time with, and get to know their Dads. It takes effort on the Dads part but the benefits of teaching them responsibility and affirming them are well worth it.
During our busy schedules do we take the time to get to know or offer to help our neighbors who we are not as acquainted with or who are on the fringes?
While we work for others we need to do our best with a pleasant attitude even if the folks we are working for are ungrateful and grouchy.
Even if our schedules are hectic do we take the time to be a friend to the less fortunate?
As Americans we have an obligation to get to know the people who want to represent us in government. Many folks today say politics isn't their thing. It wasn't mine either but if we as a country continue to put our privileges ahead of our principles we will lose both and 2012 will be our last free election.
Do you have a dedicated place where you can go to pray, to thank, to petition, to think, and just get to know yourself and to reinforce what your goals and purposes are?
Others watch our places, our families, our efforts, and our relationships as they try and get to know us. What are they seeing?
As folks watch us hopefully they will see the light and example of Jesus in our lives. We are not perfect and we are going to goof up but with HIS help, if we continue to try, that light and example will shine through and help light the way for others to get to know HIM.
