Thursday's Thought for the Day....

SERMONS WE SEE

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one 

any day, 

I'd rather one should walk with me

 than merely show the way.

The eye's a better pupil and more willing

than the ear;

Fine counsel is confusing, but example's

always clear;

And the best of all the preachers are

the men who live their creeds,

For to see the good in action is what

everybody needs.

I can soon learn how to do it if you'll 

let me see it done.

I can watch your hands in action, but

your tongue may too fast run.

And the lectures you deliver may be

very wise and true;

But Id' rather get my lesson by observing

what you do.

For I may misunderstand you and the 

high advice you give,

But there's no misunderstanding how

you act and how you live.

This one rings particularly true for me. 

Don't tell me.  Show me.
