Be The Example

In a world where relationships are cheapened at the expense of a phone screen, put your phone down and be the example.

In a world where children are viewed as a nuisance and as a disruption to your life, get to know them and be the example.

In a world where the television is viewed as the babysitter, turn it off. Spend time with your kids and be the example.

In a world where Godly friendships are hard to come by, make time for each other and be the example.

In a world where gossip runs rampant and destroys the reputation of others, keep your mouth closed and be the example.

In a world where swearing is the best way to verbalize your anger, guard your tongue and be the example.

In a world where there are endless opportunities to criticize, choose to encourage and build each other up. Be the example.

In a world where going to church is viewed as unimportant, get out of bed and go. Take your kids with you and be the example.

In a world where educational choices abound, choose what is best for your kids and be the example.

In a world where happiness is based off of how much money you have, what you drive or what kind of job you have, choose to find joy in Jesus. Be the example.

In a world where dreams are laughed at, chase those dreams. Work hard and you can accomplish anything. You will be an example.

In a world where everything is me-first, choose to serve others and be the example.

In a world where beauty is only skin deep, adorn yourself with grace and humility and be the example.

In a world where judgement prowls around, decide to look past the surface and be the example.

In a world where the Word of God is viewed as irrelevant, read it. It will change your life so you can be the example.

And, in a world where you can be anything, be kind. And SET AN EXAMPLE.

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity” 1 Timothy 4:12

Have a great weekend, friends!

Crafty Details

I started this page by stamping a few girls from Girl Power onto cardstock, and accessorizing them J I then used the ink smooshing technique with Shaded Lilac and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxides to make a watercolor-like background. I stamped the grid from Texture Tiles 1 with Picked Raspberry and the dots with Chipped Sapphire. The words “Be the Example” are stamped with Bitty Minnie Alpha and Loop da Loop. I added a few strips of matching washi to the top and bottom of the page, along with the tab. Finally, I glued my girls to the page and added a few sentiments from Faith Wordfetti.
