In honor of President’s Day, I thought I would share a few more Presidential thoughts.

George Washington and the cherry tree story immediately popped into my mind when I thought of something to write about.

Here is a link to read it and a little bit about it:

Regardless of whether it is a true story or not, there is an important life lesson in this little story.

The Bible says that those who are faithful with small things will be given responsibility over many things.

A little boy’s integrity over something as small as chopping a cherry tree can build into a man that is responsible for great things.

What can you be faithful with now so that your future will be brighter later?

Do you need to stick to your diet now so you can live a long and healthy life?

Do you need to stick to that exercise program so you can have the energy to take on your goals?

Do you need to learn a new skill that will take you to that next level?

Do you need to take responsibility for something?

Commit to yourself to be faithful while the amounts are small. Hold firm to that which you tell yourself you will do. Your own personal integrity to yourself is the most important.

Make it a great day.
