Committment

What a big word. It means a lot. It means that we are willing to do something. We are willing to engage in whatever it is 100% while we are doing it. It means that we will do what we say we are going to do!

There are many that have taught the principle of committment. Nonone taught it like my dad. He did not say much. He let others dominate a conversation. He rarely had much to offer in the way of verbal communication. His actions however spoke volumes. When he was asked to do something he did it 110%.

He was the guy that people called because they knew he could get it done. He would give up his time talents and everything he had for someone in need. Not only would he preform the act of service he would do it with a smile.

I remember asking him how he felt about my mom. He told me that he loved her. That he would do anything for her. To this day that example is lived day in and day out.

Committment, is the backbone of each man. The scriptures teach to be anxiously engaged in good works of our own free will. I think it is ever important to stand up and be counted with a smile rather than a frown. Those who are there grudgingly will reap the rewards of selfishness, pride....etc.
