"Happy Birthday Wendy!"


I remember as a kid playing this little game that got on my bother's nerves. I guess that is why I continued to do it just to make him mad. I thought it was funny until Logan came along and she started picking up this game. And now I find it annoying. It's the copy cat game.

She will do everything I do. She will say everything I say. When I say a word - she repeats that word. If I scratch my head - she scratches her head. She is doing nothing but imitating me.

Paul states in 1st Corinthians 11:1 - "Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ"

My question for you today. Do you want people imitating you? If they did would they start praising others or would they be finding fault in them? Would they be a stand out Christian or would others have to ask if they were even a believer?

We should live our life today and everyday as though someone is imitating the way we live. If you have children I have to tell you - they are imitating you. A son will learn how to treat his wife by watching how his dad treats the boy's mom. A daughter will learn how to act around guys when she watches how her mom acts around them.

People are constantly watching. We should want people to imitate us knowing that if they do what we do and say what we say then we will all be like Paul who said, "Just as I imitate Christ". We will all be imitating the One that counts, Jesus Christ!

Prayer: "Lord, help me to live the way you want me to live by the example you have left for me just in case someone else is trying to live like me"
