Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
-Philippians 3:17
Modeling is central to my learning lifestyle. Curiosity, kindness, service, and many other virtues are what I work to show through my actions.
I have felt terrible at modeling kindness. My son was being rude to his brother and I screamed at him about it. I modeled the exact opposite behavior I wished for him to demonstrate.
I apologized almost immediately, but a day later I still feel like I’m on not on my proper path.
I’m going to look to the Holy Spirit to show me the work I have to do for my self and my sons.
