Examples

I have been pondering the last few days about the wonderful examples who have been placed in my life.  I often catch myself watching others and how they act and react - I feel like the many people who have been placed in my life at this time have so much to teach me through their examples.  I have learned by watching, listening, and receiving many of these gracious acts of kindness.

Examples at Home
I have been blessed with one amazing family!  I feel like I can look to any of my siblings or parents and learn from their examples.  I have watched them give selfless service when there was not much time.  I have watched them spend hours working on a project that would make someone else feel joy and happiness.  I have watched them play and laugh.  I have watched them sit and give advice and show forth an outpouring of love.  I have watched them make sacrifices to be with family and enjoy precious time together.  I learn every, single day from my family how to be a better person.

Examples at Work
I am blessed with wonderful coworkers.  There are several teachers who I work with who I will be forever grateful for.  I have watched them give of their time to help others.  I have watched them stop what they were doing to visit and help a friend.  I have watched them listen to promptings and give advice.  I have watched them love unconditionally.

Examples through Friends
I have been blessed to make and keep many great friends over the years.  They are examples to me in many different ways.  I have watched them drop what they were doing to visit or chat with a friend.  I have watched them take time off work to help a friend or family member.  I have watched them put the gospel first in their decisions.  I have watched them love and serve when it seemed most inconvenient.  I have watched them lift and encourage those in need.
