Proverbs 22:1 (ASV) A [good] name is rather to be chosen than great riches, [And] loving favor rather than silver and good.
As a teacher we have an opening day that we have to stand in an extremely long line and get our IDs taken. Yesterday was an exceptional long line. The first thing I noticed was the new people. Quite a big group. I thought about all the people who had left and also the people who retired. My next thought was all the returning people especially certain people. Everyone else seemed so happy and talking non-stop. I thought about the people who were surrounding me. There were people who were from various schrolools and some were hard workers and some did the bare minimum. Others were constant complainers and others were hard workers. I wondered what the people for just a second were thinking of me. But really for the first time I did not care. I thought about doing my best and that as far as I am able to have a good name. I can't control what others think of me but I can make the choice to have a good reputation. May I continue to have my good name with the help of the Lord.
