SOme time back, my "baby sis" told me she had met some guy on another site and was supposed to go out with him that weekend.
But, she was going to cancel as they had NOTHING in common. He was Jewish, had 2 boys (she had no kids), he didn't "eat right" (the health nut she is ) and he is a computer Geek.
I talked her into keeping the date, after all, she had already committed.
Last Oct., they celebrated their 2nd wedding anniv.
Example is the lesson that all men can read. -- Gilbert West
Patterning our lives after others is familiar. Maybe as kids we emulated "toughies" or the teacher's pet. As we grew, the criteria changed, but we sought role models, nonetheless. The career we chose and the family relationships we developed may have been inspired by the example of another. Today may be no different. Seeing our friends and acquaintances pursue paths unlike our own gives us ideas to explore. How lucky we are that teaching is never done and learning is merely a decision.
The only thing that has actually changed is our age. The opportunities for growth continue to flow. Our purpose for being here remains the same. Our responsibility to ourselves never abates. It's comforting to count on these things. It makes our choices simpler.
There's always the right step to take, the right response to make, the right attitude to foster. But if ever we're in doubt, the impulse to forgive and to love will never be wrong.
My action today may be an important example for a friend. I pray to choose my steps and words wisely.
