Here is a short poem sent to me by a friend that seems right on this morning ...
SERMONS WE SEE
I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day.
I’d rather one should walk with me than merely show the way
The eye’s a better pupil and more willing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing, but example’s always clear;
And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds
For to see the good in action is what everybody needs.
I can soon learn how to do it if you’ll let me see it done.
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lectures you deliver may be very wise and true;
But I’d rather get my lesson by observing what you do,
For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give,
But there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
--Edgar Guest

Let's have a great day in spite of whatever challenges come our way, and leave a good example along the way.
