Doing the right thing.

Today one of our church members called Scott and asked if a couple of the big boys would come and help him move furniture(he owns a furniture store). He just needed them for a couple of hours. Joseph has a basketball game in a hour and Stuart is working, so it left Caleb, John and Jacob. When I asked John and Jacob about helping Jacob said sure and John was a do I have to? Scott dropped Joseph, Caleb and Seth at the house and called John out to ask about working. John said (and I paraphrase) he guessed he had to go, cause mom would punish him it he didn't. When Scott questioned him about the statement he said "mom always punishes me when I don't make the right choice". Humm...I would say he know what he needs to do, now if he would choose the right attitude to go with it. As I type, Caleb comes and asks if he can't just take a nap...already he commited to Scott.. I told him that and to please find the right attitude. Caleb responded "you can't find the right attitude if it's something you don't want to do." WRONG! Son, I do things every single day that I don't want to ....and I CHOOSE to have the right attitude IN SPITE OF the chore!

Blessed are those who think of others and have a servants heart!!
