As we approach Mother’s Day, think about it…\u00a0 What has left a deeper impression- what do yo remember most:\u00a0 The things your Mom said, or the things she did?\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chances are, you probably remember some great advice that Mom gave.\u00a0 A host of sayings, scripture, music, or just plane home-spun wisdom constantly prod and remind you and push you towards a better life.\u00a0 But would these “words of wisdom” still be in your mind if they hadn’t been backed up by her example?<\/p>\n

And, Father’s Day is around the corner; what about Dad’s example?\u00a0 Throughout the year (especially as we get older), we encounter “services of remembrance” or “celebrations of life” when loved ones pass away.\u00a0 As we look at the saints who came before us, what examples can we glean that can drive us closer to God and to Godly living?\u00a0 But even more importantly, what can we learn from the life of the only perfect person who ever walked the face of this earth; Jesus???<\/p>\n

Drops of Example<\/span><\/h3>\n

How many drops add up to a gallon?\u00a0 Who knows!?!\u00a0 But here are a few “Drops of Example” that can help us take a better measure of our lives…<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
