Today as I was driving home from AWANA I got to thinking. Yes, yes i know be careful or i will hurt myself but well it just naturally flowed from some things that have happened recently. I am beginning to see little children love me unashamedly for no reason at all. They want to be like me and want me to be happy all the time. They look up to me! That is such a scary thought!!! Someone thinks I am worth imitating. But then I got to thinking even more. There are people out there that i want to imitate and be like. There is no crime against it. And imitation is the best flattery. Paul, himself, said to be like him as he is like Christ. Christ wanted us to copy Him. As we grow in our relationship with our friends we start to unconsciously pick up their habits. One day you will realize that you make some of the same hand gestures or some of the same sound effects. It is uncanny! But as we grow in our relationship with Christ others should start to see Christ's habits in us. Their should be compassion for others, patience in dealing with annoying people, and a light shining forth that can only be described as Christ. We are examples to the world whether we realize that or not! What people see in our lives reflects on their views of Christ and Christians. So why do anything that we would be ashamed to do in front of children or other adults?
Just a few thoughts!!! Keep looking to Christ for everything!

Hey girl. It's good to get some news, and I love your insight. I like to tell the kids that the best thing they can do is remember a Bible truth I have taught them instead of remembering me. It is so rewarding to hear them remember lessons taught over a year ago because they remember the activity that we did with the lesson. See you next week!
