Do As I Do

Do as I do

“I can’t say bad words. Daddy, why do you?” “You should talk. You have nothing good to say about your husband.” “Mind your own business. And I’ll talk about anyone I feel like talking about.”

Let’s give them something “good” to talk about. “Do as I do, because it’s admirable.” Positive, encouraging and worthy of imitating - That’s you!

Inspired by Mark 7:1-2, 5-8

Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.’ You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”
