I don’t know if your family has any plans for long trips across the country, or it you have taken long drives before. If you have, you have probably noticed the Historical Markers along the way. When our family drives cross-country, and we’ve done it a lot, Historical Markers are a time for everyone to stretch their legs, and learn a little history! I don’t know if you have thought about it before, but do you know that every decision you make affects history in some way? I guess that puts a little pressure on you, but positive pressure can be a good thing. Knowing that choosing to tell the truth instead of telling just a little lie, can affect your life for the long term. Everything that we do is like a seed. We begin with just a little lie, lying comes more easily. Then you need to keep track of your lies, so that we don’t get caught. Sooner than you know, it becomes like second nature to embellish the truth, or to outright lie. What a terrible way to live. If you are a parent and keep lying, it is more than likely that your kids will do the same. What kind of history are you making? I know we started talking about historical markers, but it is important that you know generations after you will see the historical markers of your life. Wouldn’t it be great it they could look at the history in your life, and be filled with joy because you chose what was right? My prayer for you is that you can see the big picture, and experience life at its best, by living in truth.
