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.

A few words from the heart tonight...

I wish that I could show you the inside of my heart,
Just so you would know you had me from the start.
I wish that I could tell you the thoughts that are in my mind.
Just to assure you that the love we share is one of a kind.
everyday we spend together is a blessing in disguise.
My world melts away when I look into your eyes,
You take away my pain, you take away my fears;
My heart is filled with joy now, you have taken away my tears.
Life means so much now that I have found you.
If I was to ever loose you I don't know what I would do.
I promise to always love you and stand by your side.
I will always be faithful and true- Never should you think that I have lied.
All I am asking is that you love me and treat me the same
Do not mess around with my head and play me like a game.
I will be the best woman that you have ever known.
I wish that you could see all this and not have to be shown.


I wrote this for my "One and Only".  I love you.  Thank you for being the best you can be and pushing me forward when all I wanted to do was be a lazy crybaby.
