Today, I am thankful for my belief in the power of setting a good example. Someone, often an impressionable child, may be watching me.
God, protect us from and keep us from being
Hypocrites
Experts
Attention huggers
Blamers and complainers
Snake oil salespeople
Takers and just talkers
Lone Rangers
Excuse makers
Fair weather workers
Braggers
Magic bullet seekers and sellers and
Quitters.
God, send us and help us to be
Righteous warriors
Moral guerrillas
Scut workers
Nitty-gritty doers
Detail tenders
Long-distance runners
Energetic tryers
Risk takers
Sharers
Team players
Organizers and mobilizers and
Servant leaders,
to save our children.
~Marian Wright Edelman
For this blessing, I am grateful.Amen.
