Character Traits You Should Try at Home

Some Godly character traits I plan to teach in my own family are:

To love God... God should be first, start your everything with Him. He made you, He knows you, and He loves you. If you get this in life, everything else will seem right, even if it is wrong.

To put my family first... Family values determine the way you and others are going to act in all relationships. This being said, family should come first. Before friends, and definitely before the opinions of others outside your home.

To work hard... Proverbs 31 is a great example of the importance of working hard in life. You will never amount to much of anything if you do not work at it. If you want something in life you must work for it, and you must work hard.

To always tell the truth... Like with any family, you can be sure that you will be tested in this area. Telling the truth is one of the hardest life lessons to learn. That is why it is a vital character trait you must develop. (See John 8:32)

To be kind... When you are kind, it brings blessing to your life and to the lives of those you encounter. The old wives tale "kill em with kindness" is so true.
