Integrity

Here’s a good quote to think on today:

“Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.”  H. Jackson Brown, Jr. – Writer

It makes me think of the verse in Corinthians that says we are living epistles, known and read by all men. Every day people, and most importantly, our children, are watching us and ‘reading’ the epistle of our lives – how do we treat people? how do we react? how do we respond to circumstances? how do we act when no-one is watching? how do we speak? The list could go on and on. But it shouldn’t be a chilling thought! Rather, it is an incredible opportunity to live out our faith before them, showing them how to handle adversity, how to deal with difficult people, how to apologize, how to forgive, how to handle pressure…

Proverbs 20:7. “The just man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.”
