You were just in the worst mood towards a loved one but now you have a smile on your face and kindness in your heart. What is that? Maybe we do that because we want to make a good first impression or we trust that our family is not going to go anywhere. But permanence is not an excuse for bad behavior. You know how you treated your waiter or waitress at lunch? Be kind to your spouse like that. And be patient with kids and co-workers alike. Act your best, especially with those you love the most.

Episode Transcript

Ron: Did your mom ever tell you to “Act your best”?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: It’s really not a bad warning but here’s the thing. We naturally act our best when meeting someone new. You were just in the worst mood and unpleasant towards a loved one but now you have a smile on your face and kindness in your heart. What is that?

Maybe we do that because we’re trying to make a good first impression or we trust that our family is not going to go anywhere. But permanence is not an excuse for bad behavior. You know how you treated your waiter or waitress at lunch? Be kind to your spouse like that. And be patient with kids and co-workers alike. Act your best, especially with those you love the most. For FamilyLife Blended®, I’m Ron Deal.
