Doing the Right Thing

I just finished a bike ride around Colorado and our group often camped at schools. At one of the school cafeterias there was a big sign that said, DO THE RIGHT THING". What a simple message but what a difference it makes to reflect if our thoughts and actions are leading us to do the right thing. This is a short post but hopefully a helpful one. It is every decent parent's desire to teach their children to do the right thing.  Teaching character and teaching the reason why we should do the right thing is our job and we do a lot of it by example.  I don't know about you but I have made many bad choices in life and when I chose the wrong way it never turned out right even though at the time the choice seemed alluring, reasonable, and for the best. I'm grateful to a God who catches me when I fall, loves me when I fail, and comforts me when the consequences engulf me.
