Today’s prompt: famous quote
“Practice what you preach” – first thought came to mind.
I accessed the internet to find out to whom I should accredit this quote.
To my surprise it was ‘Jesus’ who spoke those words in his teachings about legalism.
Matthew 23:2-3
I’ve been a firm believer my entire life of treating others in the same manner you
wish them to treat you.
To my dismay this thinking doesn’t hold true as many talk the talk only don’t walk
the walk.
No, individuals are first to give instructions to someone on how to behave only
they fail to follow their own words.
This makes them hypocrites and sadly our world is chaulk full of those types.

I remember a Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby being taught in my school. I’ve always remembered it and try to treat people as I’d like to be treated myself.
