Our Actions Matter

An officer at recent class showed me a note he carried around with himself that went something like this, “Do my actions teach my children to be honest, dependable, and loving.”

We have more power to influence others with our actions than we might think. The way we talk to check-out people at stores, the way we react to strangers, the behaviors our family and friends see us exhibit every day. They all have some influence.

From Titus 2:7-8 “Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.”

Maybe carry your own note, “What I’m doing right now is an influence on someone.”
