Just one more thing: Being a good example - Dexter H Faulkner - December 2, 1985

In the early years of the Christian Church the apostle Paul was inspired to write an encouraging letter of commendation to a group of people who were the right kind of examples to their family and neighbors. "We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father... so that you became examples to all... who believe." (I Thessalonians 1:2-3, 7, Revised Authorized Version). Often the little things we do make a big difference in the way others see and respond to us. Making guests feel welcome in our homes, sending an encouraging card giving the attendant at the store, restaurant or gas station a courteous smile, offering a polite word to someone who accidentally steps on our toes or pushes in the shopping line. All such actions add up to a life of helping and caring for others. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
