Mama said... be honest
Steve Fenning
“You’ll get square eyes if you watch too much telly…” “Don’t pick your nose or your head will cave in…” Mum’s the world over sometimes say the strangest things – odd little sayings that seem to get passed down from generation to generation.
But some of those things that ‘Mama said’ are like forgotten virtues that can still do us good. Never forget what you learned at your mother’s knee (Proverbs 1: 8 The Message)
Ever heard ‘Mama’ say this? Don’t you lie to me… Maybe you’ve even said it yourself. Parents know that without a commitment to telling the truth families very quickly disintegrate. As do friendships, businesses and even churches.
Is it possible to gain a reputation for trust and truth telling these days?
Honestly?
