"We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty." G.K. Chesterton.
Loyalty is a rare commodity in today's world. When the going gets tough most people get going. Now and then it is healthy for us to do a loyalty self-check. We can ask ourselves, "Am I loyal to the people in my life through my words and actions." "Do I speak kindly of others behind their back, or do I use my opportunities to tell juicy stories?" "Do I guard my mouth when it comes to my kids and their issues?" Let's be aware of our level of loyalty and ask the Lord to help us guard our mouths and only use our words to be kind and build up others. Our kids learn how to be a loyal friend as they watch our kindness in action.
"There is one element that is worth its weight in gold and that is loyalty. It will cover a multitude of weaknesses." Philip Armour
