Lessons Learned

Remember back when we were young our parents gave us some advice. Once we hit young adulthood some of those lessons stayed and some went out the window. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us that we should teach the youth the way they should go so when they are older they will remember. Here are a few that some forgot:

If you are thankful, show it
If you love someone, tell them
If you're wrong, fess up
If you're confused, ask questions
If you learn something, teach others
If you're stuck, ask for help
If you made a mistake, apologize
If you trip and fall, get back up
If someone needs help, help them
If you see wrong, take a stance

Now I could go on and on about many of these but there is something very familiar about each one. Is there not a Scripture that goes along with each one? Simple things that we tell our children are good things to know as we get older. The other part of these lessons are they are all good common sense things to know.
Here are some lessons that we need to remember as adults:

Do not take out your anger on a person that is not the cause of your aggravation
Always practice good hygiene, you never know who you are going to meet 
Treat all people the way you want to be treated 
If you make a statement be ready to back it up
If you lie to get your way, the truth will eventually come out 
If you want to lead, be a follower
If you share guidance, be the example and follow it yourself

If we follow these we are also following the rules, statutes and guidance that God has given us through the Law, the prophets, and Jesus. There are many other lessons but right now we need to concentrate on these to make it through this time of uncertainty due to COVID-19. 
Let's all get along, this is almost done. the time will come when decisions will have to made that will upset many people. Keep cool heads and do as God the Father commands us to do. Watch out for people or a person that has great ideas that will solve the crisis, there will be a price (some of the ideas we are all already paying for). Keep God's Word on your heart and look at things with discerning eyes.
