When we practice what we preach

How many times have we as parents heard "practice what you preach?" I know I have heard it a thousand time. Well, I realized how wise this saying really is when my son came downstairs to inform me that he wanted to take one of his sick friends dinner.

How many times have I done the same? Had him walk food to the neighbors door for me, made him help me carry food into a friends home? Countless times. It's what I do when my friends are hurting or need some help.

And to have my son model that is unbelievable to me. It shows me that not only is he modeling what he sees, but he is thinking about others with compassion. WOW!

Thank you God for showing me that my work is producing fruit!


Now, of course, I won't write about the "other" stuff he may watching me do....let's focus on the good! =)
